1960 Mango Walk Thru Most Metal Work Done !!! on 2040-cars
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
This is a 1960 walk thru Mango bus that has had most all of the lower metal work replaced and the paint touched up very nicely to match the original color .The bus has a later beetle motor that runs strong and the bus drives and stops as is . I have a link to many pics of the different metal work which is all very well done as far as the body goes it is very solid . The doors still need a lot of work , The drivers door frame is very rusty I think it needs to be replaced or maybe use this skin on another frame. There are two passenger doors the one on the bus now is ok but has dings but matches the bus . The two side doors both need work the inside top of the rear side door is very rusty . The hatch door has had some welding and is in OK shape but still needs some work . The body has dings and a lot of surface rust on the upper parts but it is solid and has been treated with something to treat and stop further rust , IT IS NOT CRUSTY IT IS SOLID ONLY A COUPLE SMALL PIN HOLES . I have most window parts but missing a vent window and a couple side windows the glass is busted . The Passenger back corner was dented but has been dollied back out fairly smooth and the lower bottom corner is new metal but has not been Painted it has just surface rust . The long outter rocker has been welded but no bondo was put there just the welding smoothed and the touchup paint so its a little wavy but again it matches the look of the bus.The nice fellow I bought the bus from did all the work and had on planned on leaving it pretty much as is as far as the paint goes which it does look cool or you could touch up as much of the rusty parts as you wanted but I would try to keep it an original paint mango bus. I only have the drivers seat back frame no other seat parts. The bus does shift but it needs all new shift bushings but all gears work. The brakes do work fine and has had some brake work you can see in the pics. The wiring looks like it will work but most has not been tried out . It does have a very beat up back bumper. Some of the underside needs to be rust treated and painted but all the rusty metal has been replaced. The Bus will start , drive and stop but needs work still to be a driver . This is a cool bus . I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE IT ONLY COMES WITH A BILL OF SALE IT HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD IN MANY YEARS . This may still be a long thread on the Samba about all the work done to this bus with many details about the work . Price is firm if interested you can call if you like 850 264-5395 BILL in tallahassee |

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
