Get ready to adventure with this Mercedes! It is the ultimate adventure rig. 
The Mercedes 4 liter Mechanically fuel injected diesel is the absolute perfect rig to run Bio-diesel! This engine is part of the group that make Mercedes well known for their robust engines that thrive on Bio. Of course you don't need to run Bio to appreciate their robust design.
This is a million mile engine with about 100k miles on it!
Very simply put your vision of the perfect camper interior into place and a simple inexpensive paint job and you will have one of the most desirable and unique vehicles on or off the street!

This Mercedes is a grown ups dream of what Vw Buses should be. I have had a 1965 Vw Bus for over 20 years and have logged over a half a million miles. With the reliability of a Vw over the years and the space limitations I have found the perfect Bus, this one! I am only selling because I am moving to San Francisco and currently have two of these Mercedes. 

It is ready for some new tires and to build your custom interior. With weight not being a concern you can go all out with a mini washer, real stove, plenty of water storage, etc.
Because it is not too big it really drives more like a Vw Bus than any other vehicle. It drives straight and smooth at speed. Everything drivetrain works excellent.
It always starts immediately, shifts perfectly, stops normally. Holds a cruise of 60 all day long and is a really open and comfortable drive with it's big windshield. Granny gear will get you out of anything and the dually rear end will always find traction. There are some great all terrain tires at tires of America that would be perfect.

Mechanically and electrically all stock vehicle functions all work but the horn. The Rv functions have been disconnected as I was getting ready to rip out the interior and do some custom wood work.
The whole clutch assembly is brand new. Radiator fluid, oil, looks good, ect. New owner should plan on getting new brake hoses and drive it! I have done limited driving, about 75 miles, because this has been my project. They have been flawless and it has always performed flawlessly.

Please feel free to ask any questions and good luck bidding!!

VW Jetta and Golf family earn IIHS TSP+ [w/video]

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Volkswagen is the latest manufacturer to add vehicles to the growing list of cars, trucks and SUVs certified as Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The non-profit has awarded its highest safety ranking on the 2016 Golf and Jetta families. Earning a TSP+ rating, while increasingly common, is still a challenge for automakers thanks to IIHS' strict testing regime. Vehicles must net "Good" ratings – the highest grade available – in the moderate overlap, front, side, roof, and head-restraint tests, while also scoring an "Acceptable" rating on the notoriously tricky small-overlap test. On top of that, the automated crash-prevention systems need to be rated as either "Advanced" or "Superior." For 2016, the Jetta, Golf, and their performance variants retained 2015's "Good" ratings across the board, while also receiving an "Advanced" crash prevention rating, thanks to the new-for-2016 Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking systems. "This year's Top Safety Pick+ awards demonstrate Volkswagen's longstanding commitment to vehicle safety and the development of innovative technologies," Mark Barnes, VP of Sales for VW of America, said in the attached statement. "Our available driver assistance systems and safety features show Volkswagen's commitment to introduce systems that were once only seen on high-end luxury and premium vehicles, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Departure Warning." Scroll down for the official press release from VW and video of the crash test (and yes, that's a 2015 shown in both the lead image and video – the only difference between the two years was the availability of more advanced crash-prevention systems).

Translogic 171: EV West Karmann Ghia Electric Conversion

Wed, Feb 25 2015

Translogic checks out EV West, one of the world leaders in electric vehicle conversions. Host Jonathon Buckley interviews EV West owner Michael Bream and test drives a converted 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. What drives EV West to electrify classic cars may surprise some. "We're not doing this because we're the hardcore environmentalists or we're trying to save the earth," says Bream. "If we can't at least double your horsepower and torque, we won't touch the car." In fact, EV West brings a race-tested performance pedigree to back up those boasts. The company competed in the electric class at Pikes Peak, has run through the desert at Baja, and in general has successfully proved that battery-electric vehicles can compete at a high level.

Only VW, Volvo are doing enough to electrify in Europe, study says

Wed, Jun 16 2021

Among major carmakers, Volkswagen and Volvo are doing enough to electrify their vehicle lineups in Europe, and the EU needs to set tougher CO2 emission limits if it wants to meet Green Deal targets, according to a climate group's study. Sales of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids almost tripled last year, boosted by tighter emission standards and government subsidies. This summer, the European Union is expected to announce more ambitious CO2 targets; by 2030, the average CO2 emissions of new cars should be 50% below 2021 levels, versus the existing target of 37.5%. Volkswagen aims to have 55% group-wide BEV sales in Europe by 2030, while Swedish carmaker Volvo, owned by China's Geely says its lineup will be fully electric by then. VW ID4 front three quarter dark View 19 Photos Based on IHS Markit car production forecasts, according to the study from European campaign group Transport and Environment (T&E), Volkswagen and Volvo have "aggressive and credible strategies" to shift from fossil-fuel cars to electric vehicles. Others like Ford Motor Co have set ambitious targets, "but lack a robust plan to get there," T&E said. Ford plans an all-electric lineup in Europe by 2030. T&E said BMW, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Daimler AG and Toyota rank the worst as they have low BEV sales, have "no ambitious phase-out targets, no clear industrial strategy, and an over-reliance in the case of BMW, Daimler and Toyota on hybrids." JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, says its luxury Jaguar brand will be all-electric by 2025, but has been less specific about electrification of its higher-volume Land Rover brand. BMW and Daimler have been reluctant to set hard deadlines for phasing out fossil-fuel cars. T&E said even if carmakers meet their targets, in 2030 BEV sales could be 10 percentage points below those needed to meet the EU's Green Deal — which targets net zero emissions by 2050. Rather than a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030, based on carmakers' existing production plans, the EU could set more ambitious targets, T&E said - an up to 35% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2025, around 50% by 2027 and up to 70% in 2030. "Targets need to be gradually tightened so that carmakers not only commit to phasing out fossil fuels, but develop a strategy that gets them there on time," Julia Poliscanova, T&E senior director for vehicles and e-mobility, said in a statement.
