Here's my baby and she's for sale.
I just don't have the time to take care of her anymore and I'd rather see her go to someone that can take the time to enjoy her more than I can. Don't like the price? Feel free to make me an offer, the worst thing that can happen is I say no (and depending on how low the offer is it may make me sad too but oh well right!) Here are some details for now, I may add more later as I remember them, if you have ANY questions or want more pictures PLEASE do not hesitate to ask! * Just built 2017cc engine built by the Great Paul Ripa of JBBugs (www.jbbugs.com) he knows his stuff, been around forever and a half, and also road races his own car. Engine still has under 150 miles on it. Here are some details of the engine: - CB Supercase AS41 90.5mm fully flowed Magnesium case (yes, the discontinued ones that everyone and their Mother wants) - Eagle racing 2288 camshaft - 78.4mm CB Forged 4340 Chromoly counterweighted crank (8 dowelled, balanced) - CB Uni-tech HD Plus I-beam rods with HD bolts - 90.5mm AA pistons and cylinders - Mini D port heads that Pat Downs from CB Performance set up for me. He did a 2 angle valve job, 4 angle valve seat job, new valve guides, new valves, new retainers, installed and set the new VW650 springs and fly cut them to 58cc (which gives me 8.6:1 compression with a 0.050" deck height). - Custom made head studs, Chromoly 4140, 8mm threads, 9mm shaft - 12.5 lbs flywheel - DRD Racing Chromoly racing Gland nut - CB breather tower - Weber 44 IDF carbs - CB hex bar linkage - 51 amp alternator - German valve covers - Gene Berg 1.5qt deep sump - A1 Sidewinder - CB ultralight 28mm lifters - Manton Chromoly pushrods (0.058" wall thickness) - CB 1493 VW650 Dual Springs - Stainless steel windage push rod tubes - Schadek 26mm oil pump with cover - Daikin clutch disc - Kennedy stage 1 pressure plate - Billet distributor clamp - Billet alternator pulley with matching hex nut - 8mm Spiro-Pro plug wire set - JayCee mag oil sump plate - Gene Berg 6lb Equalizer pulley - Mallory Unilite distributor - Magnum straight cut gears - CB 1.3:1 rocker arms and solid shaft Engine is in the car and runs and drives, however it still needs to be tuned right. Right now I think it's too rich on the bottom end (idle jets) I'm using 60 idles, 160 mains, 200 air and 50 pump jets with F11 emulsion tubes and 36mm venturis. The car bogs down a little when warm and below ~3500 RPM at part throttle. I have the timing set at about 30 degrees max advance with grey/grey springs. Running BP6ES spark plugs. * New KCR Superstreet Plus transmission (has less than 110 miles on it). - Super diff - Heavy Duty side cover - Welded third and fourth - Steel forks - 4.12 Klindenberg R&P - 3.78 first gear - 0.82 fourth gear - Chromoly pinion retainer * Canton Mecca oil filter * Mesa remote oil cooler (in addition to stock doghouse one) * New Bosch autostick starter * CB electric fuel pump * OEM NOS VW/Bosch Euro headlights with correct chrome rings (extra set of correct NOS rings also included) * NOS Bumper strips front and rear * Front Euro disc brake spindles * Rear converted to Type 3 rear brakes (used NOS drums) * Full set of VDO gauges (tach, oil pressure, oil temp, ammeter, cylinder head temp) * New never installed Innovate Motorsports 3488 MTX-L A/F gauge * Zeitronix A/F system (needs a laptop or additional SD card reader to use it) * NOS dash pad * Gray tweed/black vinyl interior * Black/Gray carpets * Rubber floor mats * Gene Berg shifter with vintage grip handle * Kochs restored steering wheel * Topline versa struts * Topline front tie bar * Topline front swaybar and suspension parts * Steering box, tie rods and bushings all replaced * KYB white rear shocks * Sway-A-Way rear torsion bars * Urethane spring plate bushings * HD trans mounts, mid mount and rear strap * MSD-6AL with adjustable rev limiter * Kenwood KDC-X995 head unit (top of the line, bluetooth, pandora, etc etc etc) with 6.5" front speakers, two rear tweeter and two subs with 4 way amplifier * Hirshmann antenna * Optima battery * 4.5" front and 5.5" rear wheels * New matching tires (Yokohama Avid Envigor, 175/65/15 front 205/60/15 rear) * Pop out windows * Original spare with bias ply tire There's obviously more I just can't think of it right now. I also have a bunch of spare parts, door panels, two German doors, German decklid, suspension parts etc etc all those parts are also included in the sale. The paint is not in the best shape, there are cracks and dings here and there, but it's a presentable car and turns heads everywhere I drive it (just drove it today and got tons of thumbs up). I will also include (IF you want them) all the trophies the car has received for the last 14 years I have owned it, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies at several shows across California (it's a California car I brought along with me to Florida when I moved here) and Florida shows. I also have a tow bar I will include if you need it. I also have a box of receipts and paperwork since around 2000, and a logbook/journal that I kept for the car. Mileage is not actual. Here's a video I made a couple of weeks ago (I know the oil cap is off, I had just changed the oil and was doing the first start after the oil change): https://www.dropbox.com/s/fi34e0qo1ttl3pb/20131107_170618.mp4 Let me know if you have any questions or need any more pictures or details, or would like to come inspect the car. |

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
