I am selling a 1973 VW Riviera camper bus that is under restoration. This is not your average ratty, dirty backyard mess. The van has a clean title, run and drove great before disassembly and is a solid foundation for a beautiful bus.
It was disassembled with every nut and bolt being bagged and tagged for easy replacement as well as all of the parts. Everything is there including the kitchen sink. The bus was then sandblasted inside and out, top and bottom after being stripped and the cancer spots were removed. The body was then shot with a primer sealer and is currently in the middle of the metal work stage and needs some welding done to be ready for body work. All of the pieces are pre cut and just need to be welded in.
The bus comes with a carbed 2000 cc motor that has new heads, pistons, liners, and seals/gaskets. Also included are new Bosch starter, Bosch alternator, battery, empi header / exhaust, seals, brakes, complete tune up parts and more! The transaxle and arms are included, all of the glass is complete and not cracked or broken, the pop top is very nice and only will need minor fiberglass repair, the seats are great and can easily be rebuilt. All of the engine shroud metal has been sandblasted and primed / painted with high heat engine paint.
This deal is all inclusive and comes with all of the new parts and pieces I have.
This thing is sweet, I simply do not have the time. If you are retired or have the spare time to finish this project this is an ideal head start on a project that will be rewarding.
The bus has a clean title and is neatly stored at my home and is ready to roll. You will need your own truck and a flat bed trailer car trailer with a wench to move this rolling shell vehicle. Buyer is responsible for pick up and I will help with loading if needed.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
