This is a German import from Koblenz that has been in the USA for a while now. It has European/German specifications. The previous owner was Chip Lamb It's a 2 liter air-cooled twin Solex pdsit 32-34 motor with a 4 speed and electronic ignition (factory). The conversion to ambulance was done at the factory. It's NOT aftermarket. It's all original. It has Dual hi-lo siren horns, Blue Hella beacon and fog lights. The interior is near perfect and includes lot's of ambulance only goodies including 2 stretchers, stair chair, florescent light, gas heater, operational ceiling fan and many other little goodies. It has a mechanical step that pops out with the sliding door just like the old ones. I also have all the paperwork from Germany including manuals and some from the USA including the import paperwork.

I did a compression test on her and found that a cylinders are exactly 93lbs. of compression. I've never had a car come in on the same number for all the cylinders.

The vehicle has has one re-spray in Germany. It's nice and shiny but you can see where it's seen a little Red Cross winter action. It's runs good and I have had a lot of fun taking the family around Austin in it. There is no or minimal oil usage and it does not smoke at all. The tires are very good and it feels solid. I have personally rebuilt all the brakes with new rubber hoses, shoes, and calipers and a couple hard lines. I don't drive things with old brakes. I also installed professionally rebuilt carbs. The came back from Ace Fuel systems looking brand new. I have also replaced the factory type mechanical fuel pump and the fuel lines/filter. I have also replaced the expensive rubber hot air seal in the engine compartment. It has 7310. miles or 11763 kilometers. I put about 1000 on her just goofing around. The think runs smooth and pulls nicely. Drive it home. Drive it anywhere.

BTW, I have replaced the blue beacon on top with a NOS Hella yellow one. It's street legal now anywhere. The blue lens is included. I've also taken the heavy field type stainless operating table off and a skid plate off the bottom. They are also included.

By the way, THIS THING IS FUN!!! here is a video!

How VW's hyper-efficient XL1 will influence the next Golf

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

In 2007, the European Union mandated fleet average CO2 emissions of 158.7 g/km. For 2015, that figure will drop to 130 g/km, and the target for 2020 is an ambitions 95 g/km. Thanks to some German politicking, that target will be phased in from 2020 to 2024, but it will still apply to 80 percent of passenger cars in that first year. In US miles per gallon, that's the equivalent of going from about 35 mpg to 42 mpg to 57 mpg. The current Volkswagen Golf is rated from 85 g/km of CO2 to 190 g/km depending on model - and zero for the e-Golf, so for the next-generation MkVIII hatch due in 2019, to meet the goal, Volkswagen engineers will need to introduce a bunch of new tricks. According to a report in Autocar, VW be mining its hyper-efficient XL1 for some of them.
Predictions for the next Golf include a variable-compression engine, an electric flywheel and an electric turbo, along with taking greater advantage of coasting. Volkswagen could be getting help from Audi with the electric turbo and variable-compression engine and electric turbo, with Audi already having shown off the former and brand technical boss Ulrich Hackenberg confirming the VW Group is working on the latter. It's possible the flywheel system could also have the mark of The Four Rings: Autocar mentions a British system that Volvo is testing, but the R18 e-tron Quattro racer has been using one for years.
The need for such features is because the company won't be able to net enough future gains from just aerodynamic improvements and advanced materials. As price will be a factor (the regulations are expected to "add hundreds of euros to the cost of building a car"), adding much more aluminum or carbon fiber is an unlikely option. We're told the next generation won't be longer or wider than the current car, and being Europe's most popular model, VW doesn't want to make a big bet on futuristic aero, but the report says the MkVIII will "likely" have "the most aerodynamic treatment yet seen on a production vehicle," the area where lessons learned from the XL1 will truly be seen.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

Porsche 911 and Nissan 350Z get smoked by unlikely hero

Mon, Jun 1 2015

So a Nissan 350Z Procharger and a current Porsche 911 GT3 drive onto the Autobahn together - stop me if you've heard this one before - and they decide to race. We're not sure how much power the Z is packing, but the stock model topped out at 306 horsepower on the last year of its run in 2009. And if that's a stock GT3 then it will be rocking something like 475 horsepower. So the Z and the GT3 give it a racing go, and just as one of them starts to pull away they're both overtaken by one of the most unlikely dark horses you could imagine. It's a really short video and we won't spoil the surprise, so check it out above.
