1967 Volkswagen Bus 11 Window

 

This is your opportunity to own a unique split window Volkswagen Bus originally restored by an auto enthusiast in California for himself. Less than 18,000 miles on restoration. It was featured in Dune Buggies and Hot VW’s magazine. It is the very desirable walk-thru Bus.

 

Exterior

Beautiful paint, in custom two tone combination, Indigo Blue and Arctic White. The dash, package tray and engine compartment all received new paint too. The Bus is accented with lots of chrome, including:

·         chrome bumpers

·         chrome pop-out window frames

·         chrome cab door window frames

·         chrome shifter stem in the cab

·         chrome emergency brake lever

·         chrome steering column-to-dash mount

·         chrome deck lid hinges

·         chrome VW emblem on the front of the bus

 

The bus rides on a set of aluminum Flat-4 BRM wheels. The spare is even mounted on a matching Flat-4 BRM wheel.

 

Interior

Interior includes custom headliner, door panels, carpet, and seat upholstery, all color coordinated through out. The interior is gray pile carpet, grey seats and two tone interior panels. Front seat safety belts are installed and functional. The steering wheel was restored by Koch’s and BFY rebuilt the speedometer. All window locks, felt and rubber are in good condition.

 

Drivetrain

An improved 1776 cc dual port engine was built for the restoration. Moving parts of the engine were balanced and blueprinted by Gene Berg. A freeway flyer transaxle allows highway cruising at speeds of 65-70 miles per hour.

 

The drivetrain build included: a dual port engine; 69 mm Gene Berg counterweighted crank; magnafluxed glass-beaded connecting rods; Berg swivel foot valve adjusters; Berg 80,000 psi pushrods; Cima/Mahle pistons; Berg 1.5 quart oil sump; Berg equalizer degreed pulley; Kennedy 1700 lb. clutch; Berg dual friction disc; Harold Carter-built freeway flyer transaxle with a 3.88:1 ring and pinion.

 

Electrical

12 volt system upgraded to a modern alternator. All lights work properly. Unbelievable sound system includes an in-dash Pioneer AM / FM stereo receiver and a 12 disc Pioneer CD changer under the rear seat. In the rear there is a speaker box with two 12 inch woofers, four 5 1/2 inch mid ranges, four 1 1/2 inch tweeters.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
