 1968 VW Adventure Camper NO RESERVE

1st year of the Bay windows. Adventures are getting rarer and harder to find these days, especially the early ones with the upright type 2 motors. 68 to 71.

This camper is gutted, but a good start if your looking for an Adventure. Motor was junk and sitting in the cargo area. I've got it and it goes with the bus, with the normal auction. I also have a complete1600 dual port turn key that I just built for another project. It's been bench tested, and the rings just broken in. 140 plus compression all 4 cylinders, AS41 dual relief case, Alternator, Doghouse cooler. Ready to go that will also go with the bus ONLY with the "Buy it now". If the regular auction plays out, then the core motor goes with it, and whatever parts we can find.

Cab floor, and walk thru really dry, cargo floor has a spot on it (see pic). I got the brakes up, and they seem to be fine. FG top is in decent condition but needs to be compounded out some where down the line.

Right rear corner will need work, but nothing that can't be done while you drive the bus, and is rough but presentable. It's got plywood closing off the 2 rear flat large windows. I have the glass for them and seals are cheap. It's a good bus to start with and collect an interior, finish up body work etc. for it while you drive it and restore it. It does and will need work but the price reflects that.

Front end looks great, tires are decent shape, even the spare. Steering is tight.

I've blown out my tendon in my right arm and can no longer work on this bus for the next several months so that is why it's going. NO, I can't install the motor, which means it's not a driver. There is a great VW shop less than 30 miles from my house that just specializes in VW's (mostly air cooled) who can not only install the engine for you, and the glass, bleed the brakes etc. if you want to drive it home. I will get it there for you, but, YOU will negotiate price and pay on pickup. I've also got misc. small camper bits lying around that I will just throw in with the bus.

Anyway, regular auction price, you get the core motor. Buy it now, get's the rebuilt 1600 dual port. Check engine prices, it's a good package, motor is turnkey and worth more than half of what I'm asking in the "buy it now"

Clear title in my name. AS IS, WHERE IS. Once again, I will get it to B&C VW if you want them to finish the installation, otherwise buyer is responsible for pickup.

Also, that little rocket of a bug in the background is going up too. Apparently, surgery is expensive these days.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
