1977 Volkswagen Bus Automatic on 2040-cars
Cloquet, Minnesota, United States
|
Up for bids, our 1977 VW Camper Bus. We have owned this Bus for 20 years to the month. We purchased it in Colorado in August of 1994. We brought it to our home
in Cloquet, Minnesota where it has remained all these years. It never was used as a daily driver, only for recreation and camping trips. The original fuel injection on it was problematic for us so we had it converted to carburation for reliability and serviceability. The body is not rusty at all and the paint scheme with the lower body painted black was like that when we got it 20 years ago. There are no bubbles or rust showing through that area so I would assume it was just done as a cosmetic thing rather than a rust repair job. The interior is very nice with one small tear area on the drivers seat side of cushion. Mechanically the Bus runs and drives great. I have no idea what the actual mileage is on the Bus. It shows 42,000 but I would imagine it is 142,000. When we bought it, it showed 22,396 on the odometer statement from Colorado Bill of Sale. (indicating in excess of mechanical limits) I'm sure the motor was changed or rebuilt at some point during it's mileage history but I have no records of that. The motor seems to run strong and quiet. Please be aware that we have used the Bus very little over the years and most of the time it is in storage. It might be used all of four weeks a year. In the past five years it has hardly been used at all. This is why we are selling our old Bus. I guess it's time to pass on the torch so to speak. Good luck with your bids and we are hoping for a loving family for our Bus. |

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
