1973 Volkswagen Vw Bus Riviera on 2040-cars
Camas, Washington, United States
|
92K on this low mile camper. Very solid minimal rust. Runs and drives, but not well. Windshield area is perfect. I was going to restore but need to work on my 72 Riviera first. Have title and lots of paperwork history.(see pics) Has 80% OG paint and is mostly stock unrestored. Had respray many years ago on pass side rear corner. Is complete minus the camping interior let was pulled out by previous owner. Still has all seat belts as well. Still has pop top in good shape but needs ceiling redone. I have purchased a 1972 westfalia interior with Zbed, closet, jumpseat, icebox etc. Still has propane tanks underneath and some of the Riviera curtains. Still has complete factory tool kit and spare tire cover. Doors all open and close smooth as a low mile bus should. Working on getting a better rear bumper from friend and it looks bad but straight. With a new wood floor its would look great and stock. Minimal rust, only metal required will be both battery trays as it had dual batteries as a Riviera option. One side window also has a hole as shown in pics. Also had dealer installed AC which appears complete. Cool bellypan I've never seen. Have recipits for dealer installed sidestep, side vent shades and the rare rear mudflaps. I will take off 300$ selling price as I'd like to keep them but have dealer recipits for all three items in 74 so they should stay with the bus. I'm listing now before I really dig in and get the new interior installed and a new set of carbs. Will need all new rubber window and door seals soon but I'm out of time. I've got it running again with my old 72 dual carbs but needs some motor work. Tranny and clutch operated well as do the brakes. No loud noises just needs and couple more days of tuning and I'm not a carb guy. I replaced fuel lines and filter I'll mess around with it in the next couple of days and see if I can make it run better. It will drive onto a trailer or around the block but please don't plan on driving it home safely. Motor will probley need rebuilt in the future to make it a good long haul camper. I've replaced the front calipers with rebuilt ATE ones, new pads, and lines as the drivers side was sticking. Very cool project that hasn't been messed with as I keep finding all stock items. Radio delete plate, german stocks etc. Steering is real tight and nice and so mush better than my 300k 72. Could be ready this summer with a little motor work and some carbs. I'll include original ones as well. I'll pulled out all the parts I have for it this week and update. Let me know if you want any other specific pics and I'll be glad to post them. I'll add more info this week. I sold a bus overseas before and will again as long as its paided up front. It you want to order parts and have sent here I will put inside bus for shipping. I'm off all week so can show locally, I'm in Camas, Washington 10 minutes from Portland OR airport.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
