1974 Volkswagen Transporter window passanger bus.

Make it what you want- A cruiser to the beach, surfer bus, art bus, family camper, a daily driver, Needs a loving home.

This is a great chance to own a vintage bus that you can easly make it what you want. It has been owned by a old man for the past 20+ years, and now it has been owned by my 67 year old dad. Since my father bought it unfortunately he has stopped driving it. It has been sitting for about a year. I put fresh oil in it and new fuel and charged the battery on 12-07-13. It starts right up and goes in all gears and breaks good. But it does need some tlc.

The Bad- To be honest I will describe the bus best to my ability but it is sold as-is and how it is. The bus is sold with current 2014 reg from California and a clear title. It needs to be towed bcs it has set for a year and it needs tlc..

1-it needs tune up bcs the dual carbs back fire etc

2-needs some interior cleaning and needs all new seat coverings because they are torn up. See photos.

3-needs little adds and ends just like any old vw, for example radio is not working and needs a new one, 30 year old car that needs to be restored to look and run like new if that is what you want. 

4-only has ignition key so it needs door key, but it is easy to rekey bcs one key opens and closes all the locks etc. My dad only had one key for the ignition bcs he never locked it.

5-Car paint is not perfect it has little dings etc, most buses have rust all over but this one is nice and dry. It does have some surface rust (including one spot on driver floor where their is a little hole). See All pics to evaluate condition for your self.

 

The Great-

1-2.0 litter engine that should go 75 mph with out a problem when tuned etc... ( not sure of the mileage but the prior owner said engine was rebuilt and now it has approx 30 to 40k miles on it. Has pancake style engine just like in a Porsche 914.

2-Bus is yellow and white - and the paint looks great but it is 30 years old.

3-Great start for a dream bus. Floors are good, bus has all bumpers and even the battery tray is solid.

4-All windows are good, doors open and close good, sliding door is great.

5-Stops and goes in all gears, well the transmission with axels was rebuilt about a year ago.

6- Has rear seat that you can take out and sleep in the bus or make it what you want, all seats really need to be recovered. Door panels are okay but it all needs a little love.

7-Well this is your chance to own a great bus project that can be a daily driver easly. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AND SEE THE BUS BEFORE BIDDING OR ANY QUESTIONS ARE OKAY. THE BUYER MUST REALIZE THAT THE BUS IS 30+ YEARS OLD AND IS SOLD AS-IS.  $500 DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PURCHASE VIA PAYPAL ETC. THE REST MUST BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS VIA CASH, BANK TRANSFER ETC.. PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU CAN'T BUY IT BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO PUT A CAR ON EBAY. I WILL SELL BUS ANYWHERE. SEE MY PRIOR CAR SALES, SOME OVER 10K AND BUYERS WERE ALL 100% SATISFIED. I SOLD FEW CARS TO EUROPE AND OWNERS WERE VERY HAPPY. 916-969-0334 Paul. Car is located in Loomis-California-USA.

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
