1974 Volkswagen Transporter window passanger bus.

Make it what you want- A cruiser to the beach, surfer bus, art bus, family camper, a daily driver, Needs a loving home.

This is a great chance to own a vintage bus that you can easly make it what you want. It has been owned by a old man for the past 20+ years, and now it has been owned by my 67 year old dad. Since my father bought it unfortunately he has stopped driving it. It has been sitting for about a year. I put fresh oil in it and new fuel and charged the battery on 12-07-13. It starts right up and goes in all gears and breaks good. But it does need some tlc.

The Bad- To be honest I will describe the bus best to my ability but it is sold as-is and how it is. The bus is sold with current 2014 reg from California and a clear title. It needs to be towed bcs it has set for a year and it needs tlc..

1-it needs tune up bcs the dual carbs back fire etc

2-needs some interior cleaning and needs all new seat coverings because they are torn up. See photos.

3-needs little adds and ends just like any old vw, for example radio is not working and needs a new one, 30 year old car that needs to be restored to look and run like new if that is what you want. 

4-only has ignition key so it needs door key, but it is easy to rekey bcs one key opens and closes all the locks etc. My dad only had one key for the ignition bcs he never locked it.

5-Car paint is not perfect it has little dings etc, most buses have rust all over but this one is nice and dry. It does have some surface rust (including one spot on driver floor where their is a little hole). See All pics to evaluate condition for your self.

 

The Great-

1-2.0 litter engine that should go 75 mph with out a problem when tuned etc... ( not sure of the mileage but the prior owner said engine was rebuilt and now it has approx 30 to 40k miles on it. Has pancake style engine just like in a Porsche 914.

2-Bus is yellow and white - and the paint looks great but it is 30 years old.

3-Great start for a dream bus. Floors are good, bus has all bumpers and even the battery tray is solid.

4-All windows are good, doors open and close good, sliding door is great.

5-Stops and goes in all gears, well the transmission with axels was rebuilt about a year ago.

6- Has rear seat that you can take out and sleep in the bus or make it what you want, all seats really need to be recovered. Door panels are okay but it all needs a little love.

7-Well this is your chance to own a great bus project that can be a daily driver easly. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AND SEE THE BUS BEFORE BIDDING OR ANY QUESTIONS ARE OKAY. THE BUYER MUST REALIZE THAT THE BUS IS 30+ YEARS OLD AND IS SOLD AS-IS.  $500 DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PURCHASE VIA PAYPAL ETC. THE REST MUST BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS VIA CASH, BANK TRANSFER ETC.. PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU CAN'T BUY IT BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO PUT A CAR ON EBAY. I WILL SELL BUS ANYWHERE. SEE MY PRIOR CAR SALES, SOME OVER 10K AND BUYERS WERE ALL 100% SATISFIED. I SOLD FEW CARS TO EUROPE AND OWNERS WERE VERY HAPPY. 916-969-0334 Paul. Car is located in Loomis-California-USA.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.

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.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
