1960 Volkswagen Bus Single Cab. Very Solid, Straight, And Rust Free. on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States

I have an awesome 1960 survivor single cab. This was recently purchased from the second owner who had it since 1965! Always in the high desert so virtuality rust free. Even the battery tray is not rusted. Hard to find a bus this nice. It's been resprayed once from what I was told. The owner did a complete restoration on it like a decade ago and just let it sit ever since. Motor runs smoothe, tranny shifts nice, and brakes feel like new. New wiring harness and rubber throughout. Interior was refurbished with black vinyl seat and door/kick panels and new rubber mat. The cardboard panels above are sagging slightly but were new. The body is unbelievable. If you look underneath its as rust free and straight as they come. Looks to me like all original metal underneath and nothing needs replacing. The gates are beautiful and bed has been used and has dents and dings but not bad. Drives nice and turns heads. You can pay less for one but will pay alot more in the long run. Has new shocks and battery. Needs new tires. They hold air and I have driven around on them, but they need replacing from dry rot.
The drivers side rear bottom corner was replaced when restored, but done right. The rear apron should probably be replaced. There is a little wrinkling on the left engine compartment metal (see in photos). And there is one spot of isolated rust right under the driver door behind the wheel well.(in photos) This is a very common area for busses and just needs a small patch or leave it as is. The metal behind it is completely solid. |

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
