Back in the mid 60's, there was so much demand for the VW Camper Vans, the factory couldn't keep up. An American company, Riviera stepped in and convert base model VW buses with their version of a VW Campmobile - Hence, the Riviera Version. This is an fine example of that product and I made every effort to keep everything original This bus is in amazing condition for being 46yrs old, but there are some things with some wear and tear. E.g. seats (see picture) and there is a small rock chip on the split windshield

I bought the bus from the 2nd owner, with only 82375 miles and he told me they were original miles. I believe it. In the restoration there were many objects and items that had factory numbers on them.

Body

There were two small spots of rust: 1" in front passenger floorboard and some small spots below cargo doors. Both were repaired with welded steel. That was it for the entire bus. The only damage I am aware of was in the front, where there had been a very minor accident. I had this repaired and repainted the entire car back to original color scheme. There was also several parking lot dings. The aluminum windows were taken out at this time and re-polished.

INTERIOR

Doors and interior were paneled with DYNAMAT to reduce road noise. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The original Riviera wood panels were re-sealed. Linoleum floors were replace with non-aspestos tiles. The sink and seat consoles can be easily removed should one want to use it as a "Van"

ENGINE

Overhauled. Pistons were upgraded to 1600cc and dual port heads, which were CC'd to exact size on both banks. Rods and Pistons matched and balanced. Ending compression was 125psi for all cylinders.

GAS TANK - Removed, refurbished, new sensor

RUNNING GEAR

Bearings were replaced in the reduction gears. Trans - nothing done as it was still tight

Many other things done, but you will have to call me. 575 534 7995

This bus is the last of the COOL split window buses and it was the first to be fitted with Factory 12V. Everything works: All running lights, night lights, interior lights, windshield wipers, horn and radio (sometimes intermittent - will have it factory rebuilt) - A GREAT CAR!

Please contact me with any questions.

Winning bidder must send $750, non refundable deposit within 1 week. Please do not bid if you have any negative feedback in your profile or less than 5 bids. If these apply, email me.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
