Vw Bus Camper 1971 Project on 2040-cars
Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States
|
Hi everyone, I sell to you here my lovely Project. I have been working on the car for over 9 months now but am becoming a daddy this days. So I need to quit soon to make room and time for this new project. Thats the reason why I offer my Camper to someone who is willing to finish it. The hole car is finished to 65 %. My reserved price is only the costs for the materials, paint and parts. The work and time is not included, because thats the fun in the whole project. Here is what I have done so far: - Pre-cleaned the whole bus - Got the entire interials out - Took the windows out for sand stripping - Sand stripped the whole chasis and many parts - Repaired the broken or rusted body areas and filled them up - Used Bando, primer and sanded the whole bus - Painted the bus (PlastiDip) and almost all the parts - Cleaned and rebuilt chrome parts, lights, radio, speedometer and other things - Bought a CD-Player System and a Bass Box and other speakers and cables - engine, starter and transmission are professionally rebuild (New Seals, Engine is not yet tested) - New white wall Hankook tires, wheels newly painted and chrome hubcaps rebuilt (quite nice) - Roof is cleaned, sanded, painted and reinstalled (works good, tent is missing) - Fuel tank, firewall, fuel intake and engine area are rebuild - Electric System checked by a professional (nearly everything can be used again) - All small parts come in boxes or small bags Here is what you need to do to finish it: - Complete engine with the missing piston rings and one cylinder head needs to be cut to the right size for the bore ( I have done the hole engine together with a professional german volkswagen mechanic) - Replace transmission seals and add new Hydraulic Oil (Shifts well so far) - Install engine, transmission and muffler - Install dashboard and speedometer, radio - Install windows - Install several bulbs - Change clutch cable - Check and maybe replace brake pads or system (Brakes are still working) - Check and maybe replace shock absorbers (They are still working) - Install door lock system and window system on both passenger and driver door - Get started with the interior the way you like (I can provide old front and back seats) - Install rear bumper and install or buy some seals - Buy and install Volkswagen logo on the front (I planed to install that when I am finished) - Repair hot air tube under the bus - Install wipers and window clean system - Install Power-inlet on side of the Camper What is Part of the Deal: Because it will be too many pictures to show everything I give you a summary of the main part groups you are getting: - The BUS with new wheels, tires and so on (Ready to Roll) - Engine (Cleaned and Rebuild with new Carburetor, Intake and so on) - Transmission (Cleaned with a professional rebuild Starter on it) - All Windows (Include NEW Front Windshield, old one was cracked) - New Oil for Engine and Transmission - Sound System (Bass Box, Super 8 Radio, original VW Radio, CD Radio) - New parts for over 2000 $, All bills will be provided - Front and backseats (Just removed and not rebuild yet) - Several Tools (Floor Jack, Stands, Ramps and so one) - Screws and small parts (nearly everything you need packed in boxes) How can You get the Bus: I recommend you come with a PICKUP TRUCK or a big VAN or SUV. Bring a Trailer that is able to hold the camper. The total weight of all the stuff is around 3400 lb. I am storing a lot stuff like the Transmission and a lot of small parts inside the bus right now. Small parts are packed in a dozen boxes. You also need a place to store the rear bumper, all windows and the front and back seats. The TRAILER you bring should be equipped with a wench to pull the bus on the Trailer. Pushing it on the Trailer by hand could maybe be to heavy. The bus is in a quite good condition so far, but I am just a normal guy and not a volkswagen specialist. So I strongly recommend for you to look before you buy. There will be no negotiation after the auction. Please be sure you agree to all the terms in the auction. Bus ist 43 years old and not new!

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
