 92K on this low mile camper.  Very solid minimal rust.  Runs and drives, but not well.  Windshield area is perfect. I was going to restore but need to work on my 72 Riviera first.  Have title and lots of paperwork history.(see pics) Has 80% OG paint and is mostly stock unrestored.  Had respray many years ago on pass side rear corner.  Is complete minus the camping interior let was pulled out by previous owner.  Still has all seat belts as well.  Still has pop top in good shape but needs ceiling redone.  I have purchased a 1972 westfalia interior with Zbed, closet, jumpseat, icebox etc.  Still has propane tanks underneath and some of the Riviera curtains.  Still has complete factory tool kit and spare tire cover.  Doors all open and close smooth as a low mile bus should.  Working on getting a better rear bumper from friend and it looks bad but straight. With a new wood floor its would look great and stock.  Minimal rust, only metal required will be both battery trays as it had dual batteries as a Riviera option.  One side window also has a hole as shown in pics. Also had dealer installed AC which appears complete.  Cool bellypan I've never seen.  Have recipits for dealer installed sidestep, side vent shades and the rare rear mudflaps. I will take off 300$ selling price as I'd like to keep them but have dealer recipits for all three items in 74 so they should stay with the bus.  I'm listing now before I really dig in and get the new interior installed and a new set of carbs.  Will need all new rubber window and door seals soon but I'm out of time.  I've got it running again with my old 72 dual carbs but needs some motor work.  Tranny and clutch operated well as do the brakes.  No loud noises just needs and couple more days of tuning and I'm not a carb guy.  I replaced fuel lines and filter  I'll mess around with it in the next couple of days and see if I can make it run better.  It will drive onto a trailer or around the block but please don't plan on driving it home safely. Motor will probley need rebuilt in the future to make it a good long haul camper.  I've replaced the front calipers with rebuilt ATE ones, new pads, and lines as the drivers side was sticking.  Very cool project that hasn't been messed with as I keep finding all stock items.  Radio delete plate, german stocks etc.  Steering is real tight and nice and so mush better than my 300k 72.  Could be ready this summer with a little motor work and some carbs.  I'll include original ones as well.  I'll pulled out all the parts I have for it this week and update.  Let me know if you want any other specific pics and I'll be glad to post them.  I'll add more info this week.  I sold a bus overseas before and will again as long as its paided up front.  It you want to order parts and have sent here I will put inside bus for shipping.  I'm off all week so can show locally, I'm in Camas, Washington 10 minutes from Portland OR airport.

Volkswagen's new Passat Alltrack ready to scale the Alps

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Volvo may be stepping up its off-roading game with a greater variety of Cross Country models tumbling out the factory in Gothenburg, but the other (larger) European automaker whose name starts with the letters V-O-L is also broadening and updating its range of road-going automobiles equipped to handle a little soft-road duty. Aside from Audi's Allroad line, Skoda's Scout models and the new Seat Leon X-Perience, the Volkswagen brand itself has recently showcased Alltrack versions of the Golf, Multivan and of course the Passat. And now it's announced a new version of the latter for the European market. Based on the Euro-spec Passat Variant, the new VW Passat Alltrack follows a familiar formula: take a station wagon, equip it with all-wheel drive, jack up the suspension, add some lower body cladding and some new trim and – voila! – you've got a pseudo rough-roader on your hands. Set to debut in just a couple of weeks from now at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the new Passat Alltrack is visually distinguished by its new bumpers, underbody protection, beefed-up wheel arch moldings and a ride height increased by over an inch to the benefit of ground clearance as well as approach and departure angles. European buyers who like to leave the road every once in a while (or give the impression that they do) will be able to choose from a range of five engines: two burning gasoline with either 148 horsepower or 217, and three diesels available in 148-, 187- or 237-hp states of tune. The base TSI and TDI engines are mated to a six-speed manual, while the top three are hooked up to a six-speed DCT, but they all come with 4Motion all-wheel drive as standard. All but the base TSI model boast a towing capacity of 1,800 kg, enhanced by a Trailer Assist system that automatically lines the vehicle up to a trailer. It even comes equipped with an off-road mode that incorporates Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Assist to make any journey across the Alps a breeze. Wolfsburg / Geneva, 19 February 2015 World premiere of the new Passat Alltrack All-wheel drive all-rounder combines the best of on-road and off-road driving - Passat Alltrack: 100 per cent 4MOTION – from 150 PS to 240 PS - Superior off-road performance with off-road mode and all-wheel drive Ten important facts about the world premiere of the Passat Alltrack: 1. Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard. 2. Distinctive off-road look with new bumpers, underbody protection, door sill and wheel arch trims. 3.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We'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.
