This Bus is in great condition especially for the year. It is mostly original except the interior has been partially redone and the stove and sink have been removed and the stereo is aftermarket. Its was repainted (the original color) some years back and still looks good. I'm going to give you details about everything I can. I will also supply detailed photos of everything important.
The Exterior: The bus is in great shape. It has spent most of its life in New Mexico in the desert and has no significant rust since its been in a very dry climate. It was painted by the previous owner about 7 years ago from what I am told. It was repainted the original color so the door jams and interior paint match up well. There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it except the last 6 months has been stored outside because I moved and don't have a garage anymore ( this is the reason I'm selling her). All the glass is intact and the door open and close with ease. All the locks work with the same key but one the drivers lock is not working right now. The key turns in the lock but it doesn't seem to be connected to the lock itself. I think it would be an easy fix and I'll look at it and edit this add if i can. The interior: This interior looks really nice. Its has been modified from the original interior. The stove and sink have been remover and a wood floor has been installed. The seats have been reupholstered except the bed in the pop up which is in really good shape. This canvas on the pop top is whole but is brittle from sun on the side. I didn't replace it because it's fully functional but will eventually need to be replaced. A really nice stereo has been installed with new speakers in the front and back (i haven't wired in the back speakers but have all the necessary parts to complete the job. This stereo also plays dvd but you need to put a monitor somewhere. The kick panel in the front have also been replaced by the last owner but doesn't fit as well as the original but looks okay. The inside of the glove compartment is missing but the door is whole and works fine. The Engine: The engine is the flat 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter that I believe is original. It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. There is a sound that only occurs when the transmission is disengaged which I had a transmission mechanic to look at. He said that eventually I should replace the clutch and throw bearing if the sound gets any worst. He told me it's fine to drive and it not damaging my transmission. There is a secondary battery but Is dead and disconnected and have no idea how or if it functions. I just run the regular battery and leave the secondary untouched. The mileage listed is as stated on gauge but turns over at 100K so I would assume its 131k but really no idea. The Good: The bus is in great shape and could be easily restored into a show car or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age but it seem the ocean or many salty roads. It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. Everything functions well and could be a everyday driver the day of purchase. The light and turn signals works as they should. The glass is all good. there is really nothing that would prevent daily driving. The Bad: This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The emergency lights don't work and I have no idea why and have never tried to fix. The canvas and clutch will need to be replaced but could be fine for a few years. It needs seals put on the Pop top and there is a crack in the corner which is shown in the pictures. This bus does have room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age. I have set what I think is a low reserve for the vehicle. I can be reached @ 773-218-1911 if you have any questions. |

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen 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.
