Classic 71 Baywindow deluxe bus with original paint and interior. The 71 baywindow is the favorite of many as it was the last year of the old style bumpers, tail lights, and type 1 upright motor but the 1st year of the dual port engine with the doghouse fan shroud/oil cooler and power assisted front disc brakes. For you nostalgia buffs this bus was produced during the last week of the 1971 model year (July 23rd 1971, the 72 model year started August 1st).

Highlights
• Paint/Body/Rust -- 85% Original Sierra Yellow paint is in very good condition, I just got the bus back from having a crunch in left rear corner professionally repaired, a replacement panel welded in for a small rusty area in the drivers floorboard, and the remaining original paint buffed out. Nose and rest of the bodywork and original paint is in very good condition but hey it's a 43 yr old bus and there are some small dents along the sides and in the nose. Undercarriage, dog legs, etc. . . are all in great shape. Way cool skull side view mirrors and roof rack are included, new window rubber front and rear. Cargo floor has been cleaned up and repainted on the inside and is in good shape on the underside.
• Interior -- Original black leatherette interior including middle seat (a rarity among buses these days). There are some tears in the original upholstery you can see in the pics but overall in good shape. How often do you find a bus that has the original middle seat? Headliner in good shape as well.
• Engine -- Was rebuilt in Oct, 2010 and has less than 7,000 miles since then. Year proper 1600cc dual port with doghouse cooler on a dual relief "AE" case, 1 year only 1971 intake manifold with vacuum pickup for brake booster, and pertronix electronic ignition (replaces the points). Bus runs, drives, and shifts nicely.
• Electrical -- Headlights, tail lights, turn signals, interior lights, and horn all work. Battery recently replaced with new one from Costco.
• Wheels/Tires -- 15" alloy wheels with newer Federal Formoza 195/65/15s
• Recent Service -- Recent work done by reputable local shop includes rear brake job (new shoes, wheel cylinders, hoses, e brake cables, and turned drums), new tie rod ends, and valve adjustment/tune up.
• Other -- Clear Washington title, registration good till April 2014.

To do list
• Drivers window doesn't roll down, the window regulator is in there but I haven't got to finding out why it doesn't work but did buy a new window regulator which is included with the bus (in case it's the regulator).
• Brakes work but weren't bled after I got it back from having the rears replaced.

$1500 deposit required within 48 hrs. Happy to work with buyers shipping/transport company, meet driver, help load bus, and will even deliver it to 50 mile radius of my current location which would include the port of Seattle for foreign buyers. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time at the bus is for sale locally.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
