1976 VW Passenger Bus

Offered here for auction is a 1976 Volkswagen passenger bus. It features new paint and a fuel-injected flat four motor. It’s been a California bus since new and shows no signs of rust or corrosion. The panels are very good and the underside is excellent. Front floors have no holes or rotting, either. On the inside, the bus is "Plain Jane," but the often missing middle seat is intact, allowing for transport of 9 passengers easily.
Up front, the rare passenger "bench seat" has been reupholstered and looks great. This set up creates a "non walk-through" design, which is quite unique. Most buses have bucket seats. The rear passenger seats are in good, original condition, and are not beat up. The inside panels are also intact and complete. Paint is of driver quality, but it’s thick and has a nice shine and luster, as shown in the pictures.
The VW runs good and can go on the highway no problem. The motor is quiet and the idle is steady. There’s no smoke, even under hard acceleration. Spark plugs show no black soot or oil. The fuel injection allows the motor to start easily and provides good power, but the idle is a little low and should be raised, in my opinion. The transmission and clutch operate as they should. There are no odd noises or popping out of gear. All tires have good tread.
Like every old VW, this one has some needs, nothing major, though. The driver seat is taped and needs to be reupholstered. Headliner has normal tears. There is no radio or speakers. Included is an extra set of front door panels w/o speaker cut-outs. The signals and gas gauge are currently working, but are temperamental, and occasionally blow a fuse if headlights and signal are used together. Rear side marker lenses are missing. Horn doesn’t work. The headlights, brights, wipers, and brake lights are all functioning properly.
I have receipts dating back to the 1980s from previous owners showing the bus had a rebuilt engine and regular maintenance in the way of valve adjustments, oil changes, etc.
This VW Bus is quite a crowd pleaser. Its striking appearance makes strangers want to talk to you and share their fond VW memories. Owning it will make you proud. It’s also a fine investment that’s fun and is sure to rise in value. No doubt. Bid to Win and Enjoy!

Volkswagen delivers with new Caddy van

Sat, Feb 7 2015

As many models as the Volkswagen Group offers in North America, it has even more that never make the journey: models like the Scirocco and Polo but also entire brands like Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. That's the brand that gives us models like the Amarok, the Transporter and this – the new VW Caddy. Now entering its fourth generation after 1.5 million units sold around the world, the Caddy takes some of its underpinnings from the Golf and some from the Touran minivan to make a small work van, similar to the Ford Transit Connect or Nissan NV200, only more, you know... German. The new model obviously benefits from revised sheetmetal to bring its styling more in line with other VW models, but also gets new equipment as well. There are new safety features on board and a revised interior with an upgraded infotainment system. There's an array of engine options including a 2.0-liter diesel four in four states of tune, three gasoline engines (including a 1.0-liter three and 1.2- or 1.4-liter fours) and even a 1.4-liter EcoFuel version running on natural gas. And buyers will be able to choose as well between passenger and panel-van cargo versions. Unfortunately, as with the rest of its commercial vehicles lineup, Volkswagen doesn't offer the Caddy in North America. So if this is the type of vehicle you're looking for, you'll have to make do choosing from models like the Ram ProMaster City, Chevy City Express and the aforementioned Ford and Nissan. The new Caddy Â– always the best choice Â– world premiere for the fourth generation of the best-seller - Entry-level price reduced due to new versions - Emissions and fuel consumption reduced by new EU6 engines - Safety increased by new driver assistance systems - Design refined with clear edge Hannover/ Poznan, 04 February 2015: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is showing the fourth generation of the hugely popular Caddy for the first time. Around 1.5 million of the award-winning previous generation were sold worldwide during its eleven years in production. A success that the new Caddy is intended to continue because the urban delivery van and its privately used brother have been enhanced and refined in every area.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members. Click on over to view the extensive gallery of high-quality images from Ran When Parked.
