See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Bus has typical rust hole in driver's side floor. The rest of the floor is in good condition with minimal cancer below side doors and bottom behind driver's side door. Driver's side rear is smashed in, but Bus comes with replacement panel (hard to find and EXPENSIVE). Damage has not effected driveability. Was driven daily by my son for over 3 years and previous owner drove it from Redding, CA to LA and back with no handling issues.Rear bumper is included, but will not fit with current exhaust system. Bus starts, runs, drives and stops. There is a problem with the idle - it either idles too high or dies when you come to a stop. Can't seem to get it right, but a mechanic or someone with the know-how can probably fix it easily. Wipers are not currently hooked up, but 12V wiper motor and arms are included. Already set up for Safari Windows in front (windows not included)"

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.

VW consumer site finally gets configurator tool back

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The traditional vehicle configurator is back on the Volkswagen US consumer website, and it works very well. The company now lets visitors create a virtual model to their own specs and then search for a match among dealer inventories, as is the norm from most automakers. Last summer, Volkswagen tried to break the mold with its thoroughly redesigned consumer website in the US. It sported a slick design but made the highly controversial change of removing the configurator. Instead, visitors were narrowing their selection from a searchable database of models already at dealers. While the streamlined approach immediately told users if their desired car was available, the system also largely hid the prices for options and packages. The newly tweaked design retains the previous tablet-oriented layout, but after clicking a model, the site immediately offers "Build Yours." From there, visitors select a trim, and then the vehicle pops up with options to choose things like colors and packages. The whole layout is clean, features large buttons and works quickly. At the summary page, there's still the opportunity to search for the user's choice in dealer inventories. This is definitely a major improvement.

BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
