This 1973Volkswagen Microbus began its restoration with us intact, accident free with only minimal dings and dents, a good running driver,

and with only minimal surface rust. Only the “common to rust out” battery tray was replaced with new metal. This bus was a true barn find.

RESTORATION

Bus was completely disassembled inside and out, down to a shell and power washed. All parts were inventoried and inspected for functionality and appearance.

90% of the original German parts were refurbished and reused as opposed to replacing them with a lesser quality aftermarket part usually made in China.

BODYWORK

Entire bus was sanded. Any dings or dents were repaired. Heavy coats of “Fill-Primer” were applied to even out the body, sanded and prepared for paint.

PAINT

This two-toned bus was painted with quality DuPont automotive base coat/clear coat products. The upper half and bumpers are painted in a metallic red effect black

or Midnight Mocha. Bottom half and interior is a stunning metallic burgundy. Then entire bus was painted with several wet coats of clear.

EXTERIOR

After paint has cured, the body is wet-sanded with 5000 grit sandpaper and machine polished for ultimate shine. All parts new and refurbished are carefully installed.

Every rubber seal and gasket was replaced with new. Some but not all new parts include; side mirrors, light lenses and housings, door handles, and more.

Wheels are aftermarket 17” rims with brand new low profile tires.

INTERIOR

Side walls in the passenger cargo area have been covered with black leather-like vinyl prior to all glass (with new rubber) being installed. Ceiling was coated with an automotive

sound-deadening undercoat then lined with beautiful bamboo and black vinyl slats. Floor is also coated with undercoating, new plywood installed then covered with high traction

area black carpet. Seat stands, rear cargo and side panels are covered with a flexible automotive black carpet. Dashboard and components were restored and dash painted with

a special rubberized paint and reassembled. Stereo is a new Pioneer cd player with aux port and two speakers mounted in the rear seats. 4 new black lap belts in the rear and 2

retractable 3 point seat belts in front.

UPHOLSTERY

Upholstery was done in house with all new foam and leather-like vinyl. Featuring perforated and pleated black tops, solid black sides and accenting burgundy piping. All rear

seat bottom cushions and cup holder/armrest lift up for access to plentiful storage.

UNDERCARRAIGE and MECHANICAL

Entire underbody was power washed and completely sealed with automotive rust preventative undercoating. All mechanical and electrical components removed in disassembly

are carefully inspected, tested and either repaired or replaced. Some, but not all, new components include; misc. steering, brake, axle, shifter and suspension components as well as

throttle, clutch, heater, and brake cables. So much more work went into the important mechanics of this bus there is too much to list.

ENGINE and TRANSMISSION

Powered by a 1700cc "pancake" Porsche Boxer motor which was disassembled and refurbished. Then meticulously reassembled. New Pict 34 carburetor and air cleaner, sport style exhaust,

battery and seals, etc.

For years we have loved rebuilding and restoring old classics and take tremendous pride in our work and finished products. It gives us remarkable satisfaction to be able to take a

40 year old relic and put it back on the road to be enjoyed by all for many years to come.

These VW buses are a great investment and the rate at which they are increasing in value is striking.

We are known to take reasonable offers and remove the bus from auction without notice. Don't loose out on this beauty!!!!

Peugeot will prove it doesn't offer cheater diesels

Thu, Oct 29 2015

Our diesels are clean, really. That's the message from French automaker PSA/Peugeot-Citroen as it plans to go on the offensive in response to Volkswagen's diesel-emissions scandal. PSA will go out of its way to prove its diesels are as clean as advertised. The company is looking at disclosing "real-world" fuel-economy statistics as soon as next spring and will use an independent entity to vet the numbers, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments that PSA/Peugeot-Citroen financial chief Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon made to reporters this week. Such efforts may be vital, since roughly two-thirds of the vehicles Peugeot-Citroen sells in Europe are powered by a diesel engine. Last month, VW admitted that as many as 11 million of its diesel-powered vehicles were programmed with software designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. The news shook up the industry, especially companies that sell a good chunk of diesels. The EU itself may start instituting "real world" fuel-economy and emissions testing as soon as 2017. French regulators have said they may eliminate diesel-fuel subsidies that currently make diesel fuel cheaper to customers than gas. That adjustment may occur as soon as next year, since it's been pushed up in response to the VW scandal. Peugeot-Citron continues to reiterate that it has never installed software that was designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. Additionally, the automaker was more than a decade ahead of European Union mandates for engine components designed to cut soot emissions, so the company is hoping its track record makes a difference. It wants to be perfectly clear about that.

Chevrolet is launching the bi-fuel 2016 Silverado 3500HD Chassis Cab. The work truck will now offer a version that will run on both gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG). "CNG burns cleaner and costs less at the pump than gasoline, making it an appealing option for fleets," says GM's Ed Peper. Companies like Southern California Gas Co. find that trucks like this meet their work needs and help them achieve their goals of greening up their fleets, GM says.
