Back in the mid 60's, there was so much demand for the VW Camper Vans, the factory couldn't keep up. An American company, Riviera stepped in and convert base model VW buses with their version of a VW Campmobile - Hence, the Riviera Version. This is an fine example of that product and I made every effort to keep everything original This bus is in amazing condition for being 46yrs old, but there are some things with some wear and tear. E.g. seats (see picture) and there is a small rock chip on the split windshield
I bought the bus from the 2nd owner, with only 82375 miles and he told me they were original miles. I believe it. In the restoration there were many objects and items that had factory numbers on them.Body
There were two small spots of rust: 1" in front passenger floorboard and some small spots below cargo doors. Both were repaired with welded steel. That was it for the entire bus. The only damage I am aware of was in the front, where there had been a very minor accident. I had this repaired and repainted the entire car back to original color scheme. There was also several parking lot dings. The aluminum windows were taken out at this time and re-polished.
INTERIOR
Doors and interior were paneled with DYNAMAT to reduce road noise. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The original Riviera wood panels were re-sealed. Linoleum floors were replace with non-aspestos tiles. The sink and seat consoles can be easily removed should one want to use it as a "Van"
ENGINE
Overhauled. Pistons were upgraded to 1600cc and dual port heads, which were CC'd to exact size on both banks. Rods and Pistons matched and balanced. Ending compression was 125psi for all cylinders.
GAS TANK - Removed, refurbished, new sensor
RUNNING GEAR
Bearings were replaced in the reduction gears. Trans - nothing done as it was still tight
Many other things done, but you will have to call me. 575 534 7995
This bus is the last of the COOL split window buses and it was the first to be fitted with Factory 12V. Everything works: All running lights, night lights, interior lights, windshield wipers, horn and radio (sometimes intermittent - will have it factory rebuilt) - A GREAT CAR!

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
