My wife and I are selling our 1976 VW Camper Bus after owning it for almost 4 years.

We are not the original owners and it has had at least two other owners before us that we know of. We purchased it off a graduating college student who was selling it after he graduated. The previous owner took meticulous care of the bus and traveled all over Central and South America. This bus has been to the tip of South America! I drive it daily, mostly to the beach to surf or to the office. It has no current mechanical issues and is running great. I do not have records as to the last time the engine or transmission was rebuilt. I do have three crates of new spare parts that the previous owner gave me. I also have extra "original" interior fabric, an exterior "vintage" awning and (3) boxes or misc. new and used parts that comes with it. In the four years that I have owned it, I have changed the alternator, regularly changed the oil and get tune ups before road trips. We take it to a local VW mechanic. The interior is in really good shape for the age, with most original fabric and features in tacked. The (2) front seat are custom and very comfortable, they were design for long trips. The speedometer just stopped working. It has an older cassette radio that I believe has a short because it works on and off. I was planning on replacing it with a simple $100 type CD player. It is all wired up with a nice speaker system. I also has the secondary battery to run lights, interior fans and the previous owner rigged up a transformer so you can get 210 power to plug in appliances and charge your cell phone. It has a nearly new stove with the exterior hook ups and the stove gas system works great. It is starting to get some exterior rust bubbles and spots that should be dealt with eventually. The pop up camper canvas is in good shape. Just a great daily driver - ready for trips - not a project but would not take much to do a full restoration. Call or email with any questions.

Chris (760) 990-3499.

Buyer to pick up locally or cover all shipping cost.

I do have it also listed on our local San Diego Craigslist for $9.700.00 and so I used the “buy it now” EBay option so the $9,700.00 price is a first come first serve option. If it doesn’t sell for the $9,700.oo first I will let the auction runs its course.

VW stripped of Green Car Of The Year awards for Jetta, A3 diesels

Wed, Sep 30 2015

In the wake of the ongoing VW diesel scandal, Green Car Journal has announced it will rescind the two Green Car Of The Year awards that the Volkswagen Group won with diesel vehicles that have been since been proven to not meet the stated emissions levels. The two vehicles are the 2009 VW Jetta TDI, which won in 2008, and the 2010 Audi A3 TDI, which won in 2010. Green Car Journal (GCJ) did not say if it would retroactively name any replacement winners. This is the first time in the history of the Green Car Of The Year Awards that the honor has been taken away from the winner. In a statement announcing the change, GCJ publisher Ron Cogan wrote that, "this award rescission should not cast a negative light on advanced diesel technology in general. Many diesel models from a variety of auto manufacturers meet EPA and CARB emissions standards, bringing with them higher fuel efficiency, decreased petroleum use, and lower carbon emissions – all important environmental goals." VW AND AUDI RETURNING GREEN CAR OF THE YEARÂ® AWARDS, VEHICLES DEEMED INELIGIBLE SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Sept. 30, 2015 Â– Green Car Journal is rescinding the Green Car of the YearÂ® awards previously honoring the 2009 VW Jetta TDI and 2010 Audi A3 TDI, the first time this has occurred in the award program's decade-long history. Audi of America President Scott Keogh has informed Green Car Journal that Audi will return its 2010 Green Car of the YearÂ® award in the wake of Volkswagen Group's admission that it deliberately deceived government authorities about emissions from the Audi A3 TDI. Volkswagen of America has also informed Green Car Journal it will return its 2009 Green Car of the YearÂ® award for the VW Jetta TDI. "Rescinding the Green Car of the YearÂ® awards for the VW Jetta TDI and Audi A3 TDI is unfortunate but appropriate," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "These models were selected as Green Car of the YearÂ® above others for compelling reasons, including high fuel efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, a fun-to-drive nature, and the ability to meet 50 state emissions requirements with advanced diesel technology." However, VW Group has now admitted that its software programming intentionally caused in-lab emissions testing to read significantly lower nitrogen oxide emissions than these vehicles actually produced on the road.

Golf tees up new sales for VW

Sat, Sep 12 2015

If you consider the Passat and the CC two different lines, Volkswagen USA lists nine different models on its website, and they have sold a total of 238,074 units in the US this year through the end of August. The Golf, which was voted North American car of the year in 2015, and its variants account for 44,416 sales, an increase of nearly 150 percent compared to the same period last year. That's also the most Golfs ever sold in that time in the US, and almost 19 percent of this year's entire brand sales. This is compared to a compact car segment that has gained just 1.1 percent compared to 2014. A number of factors are responsible, according to a report in Automotive News: the MQB platform allows different powertrains to roll down the same assembly line; VW USA product planners can now configure vehicles to suit our market and they work with a selection of dealers to refine the retail offering; and the Golf maintains its proper European driving experience. The expanse of the Golf range has meant not only increased profits and new buyers, but more breadth in the buying demographic - expanding outward from the standard Golf to five different extremes, from the e-Golf to the Golf R. Room will be made for a new kind of consumer next year when the current Sportwagen model goes all-wheel drive with an Alltrack designation. Unsurprisingly, VW USA says, "Golf is a role model for the US for us. We want to learn from our success and implement those lessons in our future model planning." After decades of uneven effort, perhaps that formula plus a long-awaited range of crossovers can finally deliver on the promise of the US market. Related Video:
