This is a great little '64 bus with great potential. This was supposed to be a Father-Son project, but the son wasn't as excited about the restoration as Dad. So, we put a new engine and trans, fixed a few things and reupholstered the seats and he drove it. The rest of it just never got finished. The bus starts, runs, drives and stops. It has an idle problem. it either idles too high or dies when you stop. Can't seem to get it right, but a mechanic or someone mechanical should be able to correct it easily. It has been converted to 12V system. Windshield Wipers are not installed, but wiper motor and wiper arms are included. Minor cancer in typical places and hole in driver's side floor. The only major issue with the body is the driver's side rear. It was hit and mangled pretty badly. Previous owner(s) tried to pound it out, but it's still ugly. However, a hard to find (and expensive) replacement panel is included with sale (see pictures). I just don't have the time to fix it and have several other projects. Engine has been updated to 1641 CC motor and Freeway Flyer transaxle. This makes it fun and really surprises other drivers at stop lights! All in all it's a good starter project and could actually be a fairly painless restoration. This Bus has a clear CA Title and is currently on CA Non-Op status - which, if you have ever had to deal with will save you a bunch of money as well as a WHOLE lot time. Ready to drive after registration, but would want to go through everything before taking off on a cross-country tour...... Not trying to represent this as something that it's not, so PLEASE ask questions if you have them.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
