1972 Vw Bus Type 2 Van on 2040-cars
Eugene, Oregon, United States
|
FOR SALE..... A 1972 vw Bus. Type 2. I purchased this vehicle in the summer of 2006. It was a daily driver. Until the rains came. Then I found numerous leaks around the windows. Started investigating and removed the window seals and glass. I found rust holes along the base of the window frames. The bus was not my primary vehicle, so I parked it in the garage and figured I would get to it when I could. I figured I would redo the interior while I was at it.....so i removed everything......paneling, head liner, seats etc. Then a couple years went by.....And it still sat there. I would occasionally start it up and let it run. But a couple more years went by and found the battery to be dead and when it was the original tank of gas since I parked it, I decided not to mess with it. So the short of it......It's been a couple of years since it has been fired up. When I drove it, everything was smooth. Shifted through all gears smoothly and ran strong. The body is straight and the paint is original. There is areas along the body where i sprayed primer paint to protect the body, molding mounts, emblem mounts and exposed metal. The mileage says 52,+++ , but I couldn't tell you really what that represents. The vehicle is what it is. Could be a great easy restore project or a simple road ready vehicle with a little T.L.C.
The buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery arrangements and cost. I am willing to help with coordination of process any way I can. Payment is due at the end of bidding, You may contact me to arrange. I will accept cash, cashiers check or even a personal check but the vehicle and title would not be released until the check clears. |

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
