Here is a 1960 VW, Bus Double Door Camper. It has been sitting in a barn since 1989 when it was parked because of a bad motor. I bought it from the Older guy that drove it from California in 89. He removed the motor way back then and never got to fixing it or doing anything with the bus. When I bought it the motor was still sitting next to it inside the barn. We loaded it inside before towing it out. The rear California Black plate & dealer plate surround are not included. The front plate & partial surround is included. This bus was manufactured Dec. 23rd of 1959. For a Jan 1960 delivery. It is a 215 model . There are camper windows installed , wood trim & paneling, some cabinet brackets & holes, Awning mounts on both sides of the roof, delivered Grey in color. All this leads to it being an aftermarket camper conversion, NOT a Westfalia Camper. The bus comes just as it is shown. It didn't have any camper interior when I got it. The previous owner says his Aunt & uncle had removed all the interior for more usable space as a van. The miles are 43268 on the odometer , The previous owner thinks they are correct. He acquired the bus from his aunt out on a Farm in California. The engine # that is inside the bus is D 1449943.

The bus is really solid. There are only a few minor areas of rust to deal with. There was an area of the inside cargo floor that was rusted out and some critters made a home inside the belly pans. The critters urine & feces ate through a small area of the belly pan. I cut out the bad section of cargo floor to clean the nest & crap out of there. There is a picture showing this area. The battery tray area is bad, pic also. The pass side front floor section & a small area of the inside dogleg ( see pics). The drivers side rear panel from the cargo door lower hinge back to the rear corner has some dents & rust. I have tons of pictures but, I can only load 24. I have a few videos of me going along under the bus with a hammer hitting all over the place to show how solid it is. If you are seriously interested , get me your email and I'll send you all the additional pics & vids. This bus rolls easy, Parking brake works, tires hold air. You could be driving this with minimal work while you pick away at it or do a full resto. Sky's the limit....

This bus being a 215 Model Double Door Panel , MAKES it pretty rare. I don't really want to sell it but , I have way to many Other projects & vehicles and I wouldn't get to this for a long time. I think my reserve is very fair for this bus. If you are serious about making a Buy it Now offer , Then go ahead and shoot me a message. I AM WELL AWARE OF WHAT THE MARKET IS ON THESE VW's ! I have also had many vehicles come & go from all over the world. So, rest assured this would be a smooth transaction for you. I will be around for assistance, loading for transport. This is also being offered locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking & good luck bidding !!!! NH DOESN'T title vehicles over 15 years old. This will come with a current reg. & a Bill of sale. You can verify this on the NH RMV website. I have sold many, many vehicles like this and There have been no issues for the buyers.

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

MotorWeek looks back at the 1986.5 VW Scirocco 16V

Wed, Jan 21 2015

It's back to the past with MotorWeek for a video dive into the 1986.5 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V, the coupe that carried the pennant for VW's performance aspirations for 15 years, from 1974 to 1989. This one, the last generation, got the hottest of all by adding a head with four valves per cylinder. The 1.8-liter DOHC engine cranked out "an amazing" 123 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque, and made this model the fastest VW to ever be sold in America; it went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, faster than a Porsche 944. To compare vintage apples to modern ones, the New Scirocco with a 123-hp 1.4-liter TSI engine and a manual transmission takes 9.3 seconds. We like MotorWeek's Retro Review series not only for the cars, but for how they also remind us of what we used to find important in cars. The Scirocco here gets upvoted for its throttle response and handling, downvoted for an oddly placed oil pressure gauge and lack of battery voltage meter. We can't remember the last time a voltage meter was mentioned in a review, either its presence or lack. Check out the video above for what the definition of "US hot hatch" used to be.
