Vw Bus 1976 Black Custom Partially Restored Sleek Stylish Van Volkswagen on 2040-cars
Littleton, Colorado, United States
|
Kick off your summer with style! This partially restored 1976 VW Bus comes complete with modern upgrades while maintaining the classic heart and soul of the original make. This VW Bus comes freshly restored with the following: Engine & Exterior: This van features a fully rebuilt 1600CC dual carb engine and a new 4-speed manual transmission as of 2011. The rebuilt engine has less than 10,000 miles! It runs great and on top of that the bus also features easy to use sliding latch windows. To complete the stylish exterior are 15” BR rims and fitted with custom underglow with multiple lighting sequences and color selections. Interior & Seating: The front and rear headliner are in good condition. The interior panels have been fitted with sleek black vinyl. Charcoal black carpet has been layed throughout the van and secured with button fastens. The front dash has been refurbished but does have a small crack next to the stereo deck but it is barely noticeable. Two custom Black/White Sewfine seats in the front offer a comfortable ride as well as a great look. The front passenger seat base has been replaced with a camper base enabling it to rotate 180 degrees opening up new possibilities for the rear common area. The rear common area features a custom made bench behind the drivers seat which folds open to create a bed for those long road trips and life at the beach. The bench is not mounted so it can be taken out if you choose to do so. Sound System: Up front I have chosen a Retro RS-Model One deck that matches the dash perfectly. In the lower shelves of the bench it houses an Alpine PDX-5(4 channel mono powered) amplifier and an enclosed 250 watt subwoofer. The van comes equipped with 4 speakers total - 2 enclosed box speakers in the rear and 2 more located on the passenger doors. All four speakers and the sub are made by Focal audio. This sound system is sure to blow you away! Just in case it gets too loud for others on the road, sound dampening strips have been placed throughout the van. From California to Florida, there’s nothing quite like cruising in this home away from home VW Bus. You’ll have no problem hitting the open road in style. The exterior lighting and sleek black body are sure to turn heads everywhere you roll! I will include extra items with vehicle including some oil, spare tire, wheel nut adapter, and bedding as shown.

How VW's hyper-efficient XL1 will influence the next Golf
Mon, 18 Aug 2014In 2007, the European Union mandated fleet average CO2 emissions of 158.7 g/km. For 2015, that figure will drop to 130 g/km, and the target for 2020 is an ambitions 95 g/km. Thanks to some German politicking, that target will be phased in from 2020 to 2024, but it will still apply to 80 percent of passenger cars in that first year. In US miles per gallon, that's the equivalent of going from about 35 mpg to 42 mpg to 57 mpg. The current Volkswagen Golf is rated from 85 g/km of CO2 to 190 g/km depending on model - and zero for the e-Golf, so for the next-generation MkVIII hatch due in 2019, to meet the goal, Volkswagen engineers will need to introduce a bunch of new tricks. According to a report in Autocar, VW be mining its hyper-efficient XL1 for some of them.
Predictions for the next Golf include a variable-compression engine, an electric flywheel and an electric turbo, along with taking greater advantage of coasting. Volkswagen could be getting help from Audi with the electric turbo and variable-compression engine and electric turbo, with Audi already having shown off the former and brand technical boss Ulrich Hackenberg confirming the VW Group is working on the latter. It's possible the flywheel system could also have the mark of The Four Rings: Autocar mentions a British system that Volvo is testing, but the R18 e-tron Quattro racer has been using one for years.
The need for such features is because the company won't be able to net enough future gains from just aerodynamic improvements and advanced materials. As price will be a factor (the regulations are expected to "add hundreds of euros to the cost of building a car"), adding much more aluminum or carbon fiber is an unlikely option. We're told the next generation won't be longer or wider than the current car, and being Europe's most popular model, VW doesn't want to make a big bet on futuristic aero, but the report says the MkVIII will "likely" have "the most aerodynamic treatment yet seen on a production vehicle," the area where lessons learned from the XL1 will truly be seen.
Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
