1971 VW Bus sunroof camper, Sidemount tent, 1776cc enigine, original paint, Extras!
Want to take your family camping tomorrow in a VW bus? 1000s of miles away? Want a very original bus? with no bondo? original paint? Want one of the best years for the VW bus? last year for the bettle style engine (type 1) first year for front disc brakes. 1 ton carrying capacity. If you answered yes to any of these, this is the bus for you. I just returned from a 2 week, 1k mile trip through the Adirondacks in late june. Mechanically excellent, very original body. Needs nothing to be enjoyed Today! Passed inspection with flying colors in March. This is my daily driver, its my primary car and in great mechanical shape. The body has just the right amount of patina to it to make it awesome. Very complete and thorough turn key rebuild by local reputable builder encompassing 16 months. strong engine, babied since day one. it can pass tractor trailers up a hill. Never over revved. never over heated, and never ran hot. 30k miles on rebuild. 1776 cc Dual HPMX 40mm carbs Mahle pistons gene berg oil pump, gene berg full flow kit with external oil filter. Gene Berg solid rocker shafts Steve Tims 37x32 heads cb performance elephant foot adjusters cb performance Cheater cam cb performance re-manufactured lifters steel push rods Stainless push rod tubes Cb performance re-manufactured balanced connecting rods Recent pertronix point replacement on 009 7.8:1 cr for cooler running Crank was machined and cleaned Case was lapped and align bored. oil dip stick temperature monitor Cb performance exhaust replaced last fall All original tin work in place and reworked over during rebuild including hover bit Always ran proper level of zinc oil. All but the last oil change has been valvoline racing oil. In the last few years i have replaced: Both front calipers all the rubber brake lines Master cylinder Drop link Just replaced all 4 ball joints last month Always maintained. Camper interior is from a 78 deluxe camper with the exception of the 71 jump seat. Sun roof works, but not with the crank, i just push it open or close. if you want to use the crank it just needs new cables. Has appropriate 6 ply 1 ton tires. When the ball joints failed this winter, the front ones got a little cupped but are still with in spec. My inspection station said by next inspection will need 2 new fronts. A beautiful original side mount tent. The fabric is bright and in excellent shape. Some of the rubber rings that hold the hooks on, for the frame, have been replaced by string as the plastic welds break with age. I have all frame pieces, and even most of the original stakes and strings. Some slight separating of the fabric from the rain gutter rubber, a few inches on each end. see picture! its about the same on both ends. Still works like new. over all its in excellent shape. the transmission has a grind going into 3rd, if you shift slow and cautious, its not there. Shifter is a little sloppy. The headliner is in not great shape. some spots have been duct taped. Its so old and brittle it seems if you touch it, it rips. I had intended on just gluing some vinyl over the worse parts. but never got around to it. has surface rust, but only one small soft spot in the passenger side rocker. Very common. aside from that one soft spot, there is no other rot. You could repair the small spot and paint it to make it last another 40 years, or just drive it the way it is. lots of the original undercoating is still there as seen in the pictures. I also have an adventure wagon high roof. I was going to put it on the bus, no cutting needed as it has a sun roof. never got around to it. The fiberglass is in great shape, needs the seal between the body and the top. its a generic seal you can pick up online. its an excellent addition. A rare dealer installed trailer hitch. I have used to tow up to 1K lbs. Original Childs Cot. I have more extras to toss in, as the bidding goes up more will get thrown in. Check back. The kayak is not included but the roof rack is. If you are not in new england and make a bid, contact me before the bidding ends, or i will remove your bid. I will deliver it up to a 50-75 mile radius. The high roof will need to be thrown into a pick up truck or something. please ask any questions you may have. you can even come see it. Maine does not title cars of this age, however if you are in a state that requires titles, its an easy and quick process to go through. |

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
