1971 VW Bus sunroof camper, Sidemount tent, 1776cc enigine, original paint, Extras!
Want to take your family camping tomorrow in a VW bus? 1000s of miles away? Want a very original bus? with no bondo? original paint? Want one of the best years for the VW bus? last year for the bettle style engine (type 1) first year for front disc brakes. 1 ton carrying capacity. If you answered yes to any of these, this is the bus for you. I just returned from a 2 week, 1k mile trip through the Adirondacks in late june. Mechanically excellent, very original body. Needs nothing to be enjoyed Today! Passed inspection with flying colors in March. This is my daily driver, its my primary car and in great mechanical shape. The body has just the right amount of patina to it to make it awesome. Very complete and thorough turn key rebuild by local reputable builder encompassing 16 months. strong engine, babied since day one. it can pass tractor trailers up a hill. Never over revved. never over heated, and never ran hot. 30k miles on rebuild. 1776 cc Dual HPMX 40mm carbs Mahle pistons gene berg oil pump, gene berg full flow kit with external oil filter. Gene Berg solid rocker shafts Steve Tims 37x32 heads cb performance elephant foot adjusters cb performance Cheater cam cb performance re-manufactured lifters steel push rods Stainless push rod tubes Cb performance re-manufactured balanced connecting rods Recent pertronix point replacement on 009 7.8:1 cr for cooler running Crank was machined and cleaned Case was lapped and align bored. oil dip stick temperature monitor Cb performance exhaust replaced last fall All original tin work in place and reworked over during rebuild including hover bit Always ran proper level of zinc oil. All but the last oil change has been valvoline racing oil. In the last few years i have replaced: Both front calipers all the rubber brake lines Master cylinder Drop link Just replaced all 4 ball joints last month Always maintained. Camper interior is from a 78 deluxe camper with the exception of the 71 jump seat. Sun roof works, but not with the crank, i just push it open or close. if you want to use the crank it just needs new cables. Has appropriate 6 ply 1 ton tires. When the ball joints failed this winter, the front ones got a little cupped but are still with in spec. My inspection station said by next inspection will need 2 new fronts. A beautiful original side mount tent. The fabric is bright and in excellent shape. Some of the rubber rings that hold the hooks on, for the frame, have been replaced by string as the plastic welds break with age. I have all frame pieces, and even most of the original stakes and strings. Some slight separating of the fabric from the rain gutter rubber, a few inches on each end. see picture! its about the same on both ends. Still works like new. over all its in excellent shape. the transmission has a grind going into 3rd, if you shift slow and cautious, its not there. Shifter is a little sloppy. The headliner is in not great shape. some spots have been duct taped. Its so old and brittle it seems if you touch it, it rips. I had intended on just gluing some vinyl over the worse parts. but never got around to it. has surface rust, but only one small soft spot in the passenger side rocker. Very common. aside from that one soft spot, there is no other rot. You could repair the small spot and paint it to make it last another 40 years, or just drive it the way it is. lots of the original undercoating is still there as seen in the pictures. I also have an adventure wagon high roof. I was going to put it on the bus, no cutting needed as it has a sun roof. never got around to it. The fiberglass is in great shape, needs the seal between the body and the top. its a generic seal you can pick up online. its an excellent addition. A rare dealer installed trailer hitch. I have used to tow up to 1K lbs. Original Childs Cot. I have more extras to toss in, as the bidding goes up more will get thrown in. Check back. The kayak is not included but the roof rack is. If you are not in new england and make a bid, contact me before the bidding ends, or i will remove your bid. I will deliver it up to a 50-75 mile radius. The high roof will need to be thrown into a pick up truck or something. please ask any questions you may have. you can even come see it. Maine does not title cars of this age, however if you are in a state that requires titles, its an easy and quick process to go through. |

Leaked Audi product roadmap may confirm R8 with V6 engine
Tue, Feb 23 2016About a year ago, we reported that Audi was considering downsized engines for the new R8, which launched in V10 form. This is partially due to the Chinese market's desire for smaller displacement engines, and partially due to R8 technical lead Roland Schala's statement that a "V6 is a perfect engine for this car." This leaked upcoming product schedule, passed on by our friends at Autobahn.eu, seems to confirm these rumors. Based on the information in the image above, the R8 V6 is due in 2018. The rest of the product map seems to square with vehicles we know are in the pipeline. We spied the SQ7, A5, and R8 Spyder about a year ago, and the TT RS a few months ago. We told you in December a new Q5 is on the way, too. We just heard a credible rumor that the RS3 is on the way in 2017 as a 2018 model, and may even come to America, which squares with what we're seeing here. And we drove the Q7 E-Tron in 2015 – it's going on sale in Europe soon. This graphic puts the on-sale date as October 2017; that could be for the US market. Puzzlingly, this graphic doesn't discuss the Q2, which Audi just teased today. We're not sure what to make of that. Now onto the fun stuff. 2018 should be when Audi reveals a new A8 (featuring, most likely, a version of the futuristic Virtual Dashboard seen at CES) and A7, an RS 5 Coupe launching a few months after the A5/S5, a new A6, and the already-confirmed Q8 SUV. All expected or already confirmed. What about the cryptically-named "C-BEV?" If we extrapolate that to mean C-segment EV, if could be the Audi version of the stand-alone EV that VW is reportedly developing, and no, it's not the next E-Golf. We expected this MEB-based vehicle to debut in 2018, before the next-generation Golf, so again our rumors square nicely with what this roadmap tells us. Let's leave it at this: if you're an Audi fan, the next few years are going to be quite exciting. Expect some of these rumors to be confirmed in Geneva, so keep your eyes here for more Audi and VW info. Related Video:
VW recalling 38k Jettas, Passats, Golfs and Beetles for fuel leak
Wed, Dec 31 2014Earlier we reported on a recall issued for the 2015 VW Jetta regarding a problem with the headlights, and now Volkswagen and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued another recall for a separate issue affecting not only the Jetta, but several other models as well. The issue revolves around a sealing cap in the fuel rail, which could leak fuel into the engine compartment and potentially cause a fire. The problem affects an estimated 37,979 vehicles in the United States, including the 2014-15 Jetta (manufactured between March 28 and November 24, 2014), the 2014-15 Passat (April 7 to November 18), the 2015 Golf and GTI (July 1 to November 20) and the 2014-15 Beetle and Beetle Convertible (March 31 to November 27). That covers pretty much the entire range offered by Volkswagen of America, short of the Tiguan and Touareg crossovers (and the discontinued Eos convertible). Considering, though, that VW routinely sells around 30,000 vehicles in the US each month, the small number of vehicles being recalled (relative to the quantity out there) tells you this recall really only affects a specific cross-section of models. Owners of the affected vehicles can expect to be contacted by their dealers to have the fuel rails replaced. RECALL Subject : Fuel Leaking Into Engine Compartment Report Receipt Date: DEC 22, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V809000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 37,979 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured March 28, 2014, to November 24, 2014, certain 2014-2015 Passat vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to November 18, 2014, certain 2015 Golf and GTI vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to November 20, 2014, and certain 2014-2015 Beetle and Beetle Convertible vehicles manufactured March 31, 2014, to November 27, 2014. A sealing cap at the fuel rail may fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails with new parts, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 24Bi.
2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
