Full Front Bench Seat (non Walk Through) Rare on 2040-cars
Year:1972
Mileage:220000
Location:
San Diego, California, United States
|
This is a fairly rare 1972 double sliding door panel van. It's an actual Kombi model built as a commercial vehicle by VW. The front seat is the full width, 3 passenger, non walk through type that makes this bus even more rare. I'm helping sell this on eBay for a friend who is the legal owner and everything is true to the best of my knowledge. I've taken several pictures trying my best to show all the flaws. It's possible I might have missed something and if I did it wasn't intensional. I've also driven the bus and here's what I found. The engine is a GE code 2000cc with hydraulic lifters retrofitted from either a 1978 or 1979 fuel injected bus. It starts right up and has a lot of power. There is a small oil leak and I'd guess that's from leaking push rod tube seals which are easy to replace. When running, the idle "hunts" and I believe this is caused by either a bad brake booster or maybe just the brake booster vacuum line has a leak, an easy fix. When shifting there is a slight gear grind going into third. The bus has some rust issues and the pictures should display that pretty well I think. The mileage is unknown but quite high. I can help arrange worldwide shipping for the buyer. A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours via Paypal. The balance is due in 7 days via bank wire transfer. Please see my feedback and rest assured that I am an honest seller with 100% feedback rating. Full set of pictures can be viewed here: http://s433.photobucket.com/user/aeromech32254/library/Scott1972DoublesliderPanel Here's a statement from the owner:
I am the third owner of this van. It was originally imported by and
for the use of an Idaho VW dealer in 1972. It was purchased from that dealer in
1973 by one of the shops mechanics. I purchased the van from him around 1985. This
van carries a heavy pay load and has been a work vehicle all the time I have
owned it. Ithas carried wood, stone, compost, nursery inventory and more.
Around 1995 my mechanic replaced the engine and gas tank with one's out of a
van from the late 70's. I also had him add gauges and an external oil
filtration system made by amzoil. It's location history is approximately:
1972-1976 –
1976-1993 -
1993-2011 -
2011-present -
Since being driven to
This is the only bay window double door
slider I have ever seen with the bench seat. It came stock with 3 seat belts.
Feel free to ask questions. All information is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

VW will reportedly offer cash to cheated diesel car drivers
Sun, Nov 8 2015If you're feeling burned by Volkswagen's decision to cheat on diesel emissions tests, you might get some compensation for your troubles. Sources for The Truth About Cars understand that VW will launch a "TDI Goodwill Program" that compensates diesel car drivers with cash in the form of prepaid cards. In the US, you'd get both a $500 universal card as well as a VW-only card worth $500 to $750. The automaker isn't confirming details just yet, but it tells the New York Times that it's planning an announcement on Monday. Dealers also tell the newspaper that they're aware of a program in the works, although they don't know the specifics. It may not include the expanded range of cars reportedly tainted by the scandal, though, since VW is denying claims that it cheated with some models. This isn't the only olive branch VW has been offering: it's been handing out deals to existing owners willing to hop into new vehicles, and there are more discounts than usual across the board. However, the goodwill effort would represent the first instance of VW directly compensating drivers who'd previously thought they were getting an eco-friendly machine. This isn't going to make up for years of unnecessary pollution, but it may represent the company's best hope of holding on to customers.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
