Here's a 1973 VW 3 door Bus up for sale. This bus spent most of its life in California thru 95 Then came to Wisconsin and spent its winters in storage. Then the second owner decided to start restoring her over time. Body is very solid, Underneath pictures shows a real survivor. Floors are exceptional condition for a 40 plus year old vehicle. Runs better than new. Only has about 5,000 miles on a bigger than original, Porche Boxster motor installed by Mofoco VW out of Milwaukee. New clutch at time of motor exchange. Still has original tranny and shifter. CV joints replaced,Trans flush, Fresh oil and Tune. New 8 ply Hancook Tires. New Front and Rear sway bars added to cure most cross wind problems. Twin tipped exhaust, single Weber carb. Optima battery. I believe the Porsche Motor is 2000-2100 cc. odometer states 74,737 but is non-operable.

Interior has been updated with marine grade vinyl from sewfine on front kick panels and back rear side panels and rear lift door. Front seats and second row 3/4 seat are recent kits from Sewfine. Has interior curtains for all windows and windshield. Eight speaker cd player. All seat belts are there and set up to haul 7 passengers. New laminate flooring in second & 3rd row seating areas. New carpeting in rear hatch area. I also has a custom second row seat that that turns in a bed, that's currently out of the vehicle if you would choose to want to travel and sleep in the bus. It fits in there very nicely, and folds up for a full size seat when not in the down position. I would let it go with the bus Its at least a $500.00 option when it was installed but I decided to get it back more to original. All glass panels are excellent condition. Windows roll up and down. Doors shut firmly and latch correctly. All lights, signals, horn work as they should. Speedometer works but odometer doesn't. It has an additional heater fan set up fan/switch to help distribute heat from the back. The dash heater cables are at the dash just need to be hooked up.

The bus exterior was painted with a brush by second owner, and all the metal seems rust free and metal has been very well protected bye this paint. No rust holes, Has some very small areas that could be some bondo, can't quite tell without getting the paint off. It is 41+ years old. Could use a nice paint job but still get countless looks and people asking about it. It could be left as is. With new paint you would have a 20K-25K+ bus.

All in all it runs great going down the highway. Porsche motor with duel exhaust it sounds smooth. I had it on the interstate and it cruise's right along.65-75mph Brakes are in good shape. Second owner took it all over the country and had no issues. gets about 18-20 mpg. Some spare parts, VW book & manuals. Anyone can email me with a question - ILuvarchery@msn.com

Thu, Apr 6 2023

The 2023 New York Auto Show was a rather lively show full of North American vehicle debuts and a lot of new metal we’ve never seen before. As always, we were on the ground covering it from every angle for you, including photographing all the reveals on the show floor. There were a ton of new EVs shown and even a stunning concept with the Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept. YouÂ’ll be able to see them all, from the production Ram REV to the little (but now much bigger) Kona, in the numerous galleries below.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
