1972 Vw Bus Type 2 Van on 2040-cars
Eugene, Oregon, United States
|
FOR SALE..... A 1972 vw Bus. Type 2. I purchased this vehicle in the summer of 2006. It was a daily driver. Until the rains came. Then I found numerous leaks around the windows. Started investigating and removed the window seals and glass. I found rust holes along the base of the window frames. The bus was not my primary vehicle, so I parked it in the garage and figured I would get to it when I could. I figured I would redo the interior while I was at it.....so i removed everything......paneling, head liner, seats etc. Then a couple years went by.....And it still sat there. I would occasionally start it up and let it run. But a couple more years went by and found the battery to be dead and when it was the original tank of gas since I parked it, I decided not to mess with it. So the short of it......It's been a couple of years since it has been fired up. When I drove it, everything was smooth. Shifted through all gears smoothly and ran strong. The body is straight and the paint is original and decent. There is areas along the body where i sprayed primer paint to protect the body, molding mounts, emblem mounts and exposed metal. The mileage says 52,+++ , but I couldn't tell you really what that represents. The vehicle is what it is. Could be a great easy restore project or a simple road ready vehicle with a little T.L.C.
The buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery arrangements and cost. I am willing to help with coordination of process any way I can. Payment is due at the end of bidding, You may contact me to arrange. I will accept cash, cashiers check, Paypal or even a personal check but the vehicle and title would not be released until the check clears. |

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
