Vw Bus Camper 1971 Project on 2040-cars
Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States
Hi everyone, I sell to you here my lovely Project. I have been working on the car for over 9 months now but am becoming a daddy this days. So I need to quit soon to make room and time for this new project. Thats the reason why I offer my Camper to someone who is willing to finish it. The hole car is finished to 65 %. My reserved price is only the costs for the materials, paint and parts. The work and time is not included, because thats the fun in the whole project. Here is what I have done so far: - Pre-cleaned the whole bus - Got the entire interials out - Took the windows out for sand stripping - Sand stripped the whole chasis and many parts - Repaired the broken or rusted body areas and filled them up - Used Bando, primer and sanded the whole bus - Painted the bus (PlastiDip) and almost all the parts - Cleaned and rebuilt chrome parts, lights, radio, speedometer and other things - Bought a CD-Player System and a Bass Box and other speakers and cables - engine, starter and transmission are professionally rebuild (New Seals, Engine is not yet tested) - New white wall Hankook tires, wheels newly painted and chrome hubcaps rebuilt (quite nice) - Roof is cleaned, sanded, painted and reinstalled (works good, tent is missing) - Fuel tank, firewall, fuel intake and engine area are rebuild - Electric System checked by a professional (nearly everything can be used again) - All small parts come in boxes or small bags Here is what you need to do to finish it: - Complete engine with the missing piston rings and one cylinder head needs to be cut to the right size for the bore ( I have done the hole engine together with a professional german volkswagen mechanic) - Replace transmission seals and add new Hydraulic Oil (Shifts well so far) - Install engine, transmission and muffler - Install dashboard and speedometer, radio - Install windows - Install several bulbs - Change clutch cable - Check and maybe replace brake pads or system (Brakes are still working) - Check and maybe replace shock absorbers (They are still working) - Install door lock system and window system on both passenger and driver door - Get started with the interior the way you like (I can provide old front and back seats) - Install rear bumper and install or buy some seals - Buy and install Volkswagen logo on the front (I planed to install that when I am finished) - Repair hot air tube under the bus - Install wipers and window clean system - Install Power-inlet on side of the Camper What is Part of the Deal: Because it will be too many pictures to show everything I give you a summary of the main part groups you are getting: - The BUS with new wheels, tires and so on (Ready to Roll) - Engine (Cleaned and Rebuild with new Carburetor, Intake and so on) - Transmission (Cleaned with a professional rebuild Starter on it) - All Windows (Include NEW Front Windshield, old one was cracked) - New Oil for Engine and Transmission - Sound System (Bass Box, Super 8 Radio, original VW Radio, CD Radio) - New parts for over 2000 $, All bills will be provided - Front and backseats (Just removed and not rebuild yet) - Several Tools (Floor Jack, Stands, Ramps and so one) - Screws and small parts (nearly everything you need packed in boxes) How can You get the Bus: I recommend you come with a PICKUP TRUCK or a big VAN or SUV. Bring a Trailer that is able to hold the camper. The total weight of all the stuff is around 3400 lb. I am storing a lot stuff like the Transmission and a lot of small parts inside the bus right now. Small parts are packed in a dozen boxes. You also need a place to store the rear bumper, all windows and the front and back seats. The TRAILER you bring should be equipped with a wench to pull the bus on the Trailer. Pushing it on the Trailer by hand could maybe be to heavy. The bus is in a quite good condition so far, but I am just a normal guy and not a volkswagen specialist. So I strongly recommend for you to look before you buy. There will be no negotiation after the auction. Please be sure you agree to all the terms in the auction. Bus ist 43 years old and not new!

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
