I chose not to touch up the paint and let the van wear its dings and scrapes with pride. I took the van to a very good detail shop to have the paint polished. It turned out beautiful. This van has been mainly garaged or kept under cover all these years. The battery tray does have some corrosion (not rust).

The heater works extremely well in this bus do to the factory VW bus heater boxes. Rare factory tow hitch. I spent countless hours preserving this rare bus. I have regretfully decided to sell this bus out of my personal collection. I intentionally did not do any paint touch up on the body. I spent hours removing small areas of primer put over the nicks and scratches on the paint to reveal the amazing og paint. I did not clear coat over the dings, instead I keep the bus stored inside my shop and keep a light coat of grease over the nicks and a few of the small dents/scrapes to prevent surface rusting. I know this seems a bit extreme but I wanted to be able to say this bus has 100% original paint. The interior was kept as original as possible. only replacing the seat upholstery, door panels and a few other odds and ends. When you see the pictures of this bus you will see all the imperfections are shown with pride on this bus. There are many things I have done to this bus I have not listed as there is to much to list. With the updated 1776 Super Street motor, freeway flyer transmission and suspension and brake work this bus runs and drives amazing with quite a bit more power and better gearing than stock making this bus perfect for cross country/ long distance driving. No expense or man hours were spared on this build. 1971 is the most sought after year for collectors as its the last year for the upright motor, first year of the disc brakes and still retains the classic bumpers and low lights. Feel free to call with any questions as there is way to much to list. Very hard to find a documented rust free California bus in this kind of original condition. This bus has 85k original miles as documented on the service stickers on the driver side door jamb. This is a no story's bus with no hidden problems like so many other "restored buses" on the market today. This is the perfect center piece for any VW collection. **** I can have this bus shipped to your front door at whole sale cost I also can ship world wide ** Over 270 Additional pictures and information as well as other nice VW buses can be seen on my web site WESTCOASTSAMBA .

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, 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 E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
