Here is a real dinosaur that has finally become worth something. I bought this bus in 2001 in Kingman, AZ where it had been sitting for 15 years. It had 67,000 original miles when I bought it. I got it running and turned it into my daily driver. It replaced the 1963 split window that I had been driving since 1989. That is another story. Now the bus has 80,000 original miles. It has a new battery, new CV boots, and new brakes (shoes in the front, wheel cylinders all around and a new master cylinder). There is very little rust on this bus. Any rust you see in the pictures is only surface rust. At some time in the past it was in a collision which pushed in the front drivers side, and someone put some body filler to patch it up. The interior was also replaced with heavy insulation to make it better for running in the hot AZ desert. The front seats need reupholstered, so they have seat covers. The body is completely original. The motor is stock with a high volume oil pump, and the cylinder heads have cast iron valve guides in them. I took good care of this bus, just like I did the others that I've owned in the past. Every 1500 miles I tuned the motor and greased the wheel bearings and front end. I used STP at every oil change, and adjusted the valves when the oil pressure started to drop. That's the only way I found that worked when running in the desert.
Other than that what you see is what you get!!

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
