1976 Sleek Restored Black Bus - Custom

This restored 1976 VW Bus comes complete with modern upgrades while maintaining the classic heart and soul of the original make. This VW Bus comes freshly restored with the following:  


Engine & Exterior:

This van features a fully rebuilt 1600CC dual carb engine and a new 4-speed manual transmission as of 2011.  The rebuilt engine has less than 7,500 miles!  For stable rides and sway-free cruising a sway bar has been installed underneath.  The windows slide open and close with a latch.  To complete the stylish exterior are 15” BR rims and fitted underneath with custom underglow with multiple lighting sequences and color selections.  


Interior & Seating:

The front and rear headliner are in great condition.  The interior panels have been fitted with sleek black vinyl.  Charcoal black carpet has been layed throughout the van and secured with button fastens. The front dash has been refurbished and does have a small crack next to the stereo deck but it is barely noticeable.  Two custom Black/White Sewfine seats in the front offer a comfortable ride as well as a great look.  The front passenger seat base has been replaced with a camper base enabling it to rotate 180 degrees opening up new possibilities for the rear common area.  The rear common area features a custom made bench behind the drivers seat which folds open to create a bed for those long road trips and life at the beach. The bench is not mounted so it can be taken out if you choose to do so.


Sound System:

Up front I have chosen a Retro RS-Model One deck that matches the dash perfectly.  The lower shelves of the bench house an Alpine PDX-5(4 channel mono powered) amplifier  and an enclosed 250 watt subwoofer.  The van comes equipped with 4 speakers total - 2 enclosed box speakers in the rear and 2 more located on the passenger doors.  All four speakers and the sub are made by Focal audio.  This sound system is sure to blow you away!  Just in case it gets too loud for others on the road, sound dampening strips have been placed throughout the van.


From California to Florida, there’s nothing quite like cruising in this home away from home VW Bus.  With cruising speeds easily in the 60’s, you’ll have no problem hitting the open road in style.  The exterior lighting and sleek black body are sure to turn heads everywhere you roll!

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
