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. |

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
