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. |

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
