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. |

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
