  Up for sale is a  1976 Pop Top VW Camper Bus. This Camper is a Southern California surf Bus transplanted to Northern Michigan about 7 years ago (you even get the surf beach guide book I got with it). Always garaged since it was here and has never seen the snow!  Gets lots of thumbs ups and attention wherever you go.  The body is great shape but the paint is a newer respray. But if you get closer you will see tiny flaws and know that we have used this bus...Happily!  Having said that- It looks SUPER! The interior is complete and in very nice age for its age, in fact- I wouldn't be surprised if the previous owner restored it awhile back.  Its VERY nice and drives and stops tight and straight.

  I've owned and drove 3 Bugs (65,71,74) , 2 buses (76,78) and a  73 Thing and this 1976 westy drives the best

After a new engine was made for it and ran for a short time a back gas line blew, luckily at a busy stop sign with an off duty fireman, a cop and gas station all near by and all with fire extinguishers the fire was out in less then 3 min. but scorched the paint on the vent shown in photos and there is some crazing under it. (that did not even photograph but i tried last photo) I took the bus to my local vintage shop and they did that work ran new wires and replace a lot of the other new items like the generator. That was years ago not a problem since, driven all over Northern Lower Michigan in the last two summers.

over $22,000 invested in parts, labor and extra goodies

Not a show bus yet (almost) but a very great bus ready to play and have fun

I hate to see her go after all the fun, but my kids enjoy time on the lake more then time the woods.


The bus features:

A 2.0L Fuel Injected Motor- the strongest VW engine available for Buses! (Runs great with TONS of power) just replaced in 2011 with not a "crap" crate engine but a hand made engine by a 40 year vw guru at a cost of over $7500 using only the best parts  Nos or low mile originals 

  • Pop-top roof with BRAND NEW yellow tent canvas and screens! (not even put on yet a $500 one from GoWesty)
  • FULL kitchen including SINK, PROPANE STOVE, FRIDGE AND FREEZER! (Propane tank has been removed)
  • Has external RV hook ups
  • Nice carpet ( driver's side a little ratty)
  • SLEEPS 5 comfortably! 2 double beds and comes with the rare kid cot for the front
  • Good brakes, good glass all around good newer tires
  • and the ultra rare factory outside add a room tent in great shape for 40 years old (some poles need work) 
  • Travel table for front driver and back passenger table 
  • Manual 4 speed transmission- shifts great and nice clutch!
  • paint was touched up before it left Cali I tried to photograph the worse and almost only bad spot under the passengedoor and there is the rust at the rear window seal... not even washed in the photos
  • a sound system with a cd and iPod cord in the glovebox
below is a youtube video of the engine running

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits

Wed, 15 May 2013

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.

2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
