Just off an extensive 3 year cosmetic and mechanical restoration, this bus is resplendent!

Finished in it's original colors of sealing wax and beige grey it evokes thoughts of yesteryear.
Yet with a completly updated drive train, suspension and braking system it brings it up to more modern driving standards. Making for a much safer and more comfortable cruising experience.

Combine that with the one off, full blown, custom hippie inspired interior, replete with top of the line materials and high end audio and video systems and you have one sensational piece of vintage rolling art

Starting off with a very solid two owner chassis originally from california and with a clean title, this bus was stripped down to its bare metal bones and found to have very little accident damage and mostly rust free. The original floors and belly pans are in excellent condition. Outriggers, jack points, doglegs, chassis are all rust free and solid. 

The exterior was sprayed using a ppg base coat clear paint system, including the engine compartment and wheel wells, in the original sealing wax color. All of which was then color sanded and buffed out to give it an amazing shine and depth.
 The interior was sprayed in 
the original beige grey throughout and is impeccable.
The undercarriage is finished off 
in grey epoxy. 
Wolgang stainless steel safari windows were added front and back. 
Most of the hard to find original trim was either rechromed or polished ensuring a much better fit and finish than aftermarket pieces. Add to this all the original side and cab glass was kept and new rubber seals throughout, to include all the doors as well.
Topping off the exterior,literally, is a custom made 5 bow roof rack with beautifully finished wood slats.

The interior really must be experienced to fully appreciate the melding of such uncommon things as sewn coffee sacks which make up the headliner, or old barn wood repurposed for the flooring in the rear compartment. An Indian Kantha quilt was used to create the side curtains, while you have serape blanket and faux giraffe inspired coverings on the rear L shaped seat that doubles as a pull out full size bed!
The doors, interior walls and toe kick are covered in an embossed paisley leatherette.

The high end entertainment
system is comprised of an alpine head unit incorporating blue tooth and pandora. A 13 inch drop down monitor, dual arc audio amps, 6 focal speakers and 2 image dynamics subwoofers come together for an impressive audio/visual experience.

The chassis and drivetrain was treated to the same level of enthusiasm as the rest of this magnificent creation. Starting in the front with a cb performance 4 inch narrowed and adjustable beam including drop spindles and disc brakes. New tie rods, bushings steering dampener, shocks, hoses, master cylinder, etc.
Moving to the rear there is a type 1 transmission with a butcher shop straight axle kit with clearance spring plates. 
This bus will easily cruise beyond 80 mph with the help of the german cased dual carbed 1776 motor.
Professionally assembled with all new parts including crank, cam, oil pump, pistons and cylinders, lifters, bearings, etc. finished off with powder coated engine tins.
The electrical system has been brought up to modern 12 volt standards, including a new wiring works harness, 12v alternator, battery and full 12v lighting.

With it's incredible lowered stance and freshness of restoration
This transporter is ready to carry it's new owners away

Sunday Drive: Variety is the spice of life

Sun, Nov 12 2017

If there's any one new vehicle the entire world is anxiously waiting for, it's the Jeep Wrangler. Yes, of course the iconic off-roader has a loyal following here in America, but you could plop a Wrangler pretty much anywhere on the globe and everybody will know what it is. Put simply, the redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has big, muddy shoes to fill, and the readers of Autoblog are just as interested in the Wrangler's rebirth as anyone else. Moving along, we were fortunate enough last week to spend a bit of time in nearly every version of the venerable Volkswagen Golf all in one day. There isn't a Golf we don't like, but there's one, easily identifiable by its three-digit name, that stands above all the rest: GTI. We think it's the best Golf you can buy, even if there's an R-badged variant that slots above the GTI in VW hierarchy. Rounding out our recap are three vehicles that could hardly be more different. The 2019 GMC Sierra, which was seen wearing pretty light camouflage, is a truck. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – which isn't going to go on sale, ever, at any price – is a conceptual supercar. And the Honda CB1000R is a retro-themed naked standard motorcycle. Variety really is the spice of life. 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shot mega gallery Driving nearly every VW Golf: Base, GTI, R, Alltrack — here's what we learned 2019 GMC Sierra spied sporting just a thin wrapping The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is a brutally fantastic EV supercar concept Honda unveils 2 new motorcycles, including retro-flavored CB1000R Image Credit: Brian Williams GMC Honda Jeep Lamborghini Volkswagen Technology Truck Convertible Crossover Hatchback SUV Performance sunday drive vw golf gti lamborghini terzo millennio

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
