This is a reserve auction for a 1973 Volkswagen Bus with Westy interior.

The exterior of the bus was recently repainted in its original colors of Ceylon beige and Pastel white. The body of the bus is in good shape and has no rust issues except for some bubbling paint on the right rear wheel well. The front windshield has been replaced. It has received new windshield rubber along with the rear windshield. The sunroof has been resealed and doesn't leak.

The interior of the bus is in great shape. The driver seat has been recently recovered. The carpet is new. There are also new coco mats for the driver's and passenger's seats. The gauges, headlights, and rear lights all work (except for the left rear tail light, which probably just needs a new bulb). The interior is comfortable and looks great. The bus has also received a new Hirschmann Radio that looks as if it's from the 50's and 60's and is capable of playing audio from an iPod or MP3. The bus has also received 5 new tires.

The bus runs well and has just received a VW Beetle Engine that runs great (see video). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzHiBxeDH3k&feature=youtu.be

The bus is a 4 speed. The clutch works well and the bus shifts fine, although getting into reverse is sometimes tricky.

The car lived in Las Vegas, Nevada for its first 30 years and is very clean and dry.

Included with bus:

Several Emergency tools - flares, gas can, fire extinguisher (dashboard hula girl negotiable)
15 cu. ft. waterproof bag for roof rack
Wooden roof rack with bicycle mounts currently installed. Original railing and pins included.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?

Wed, 01 May 2013

Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
