1966 Deluxe Vw Bus 13 Window Camper Project Beautiful on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
Check out this beautiful rare 13 window Deluxe Bus!!
This is a fresh top of the line Glausurit paint respray! It is an original 13 window Bus. It is an original Titian Red Bus, one of the Best colors on a Deluxe, hands down! It is an original Arizona Bus with almost no rust at all!! All of the rocker panels, floors, wheel wells, etc are original. The only panel that has been replaced is the battery tray. Floors had spots and were patched. The Bus is very straight. The deluxe only trim is in excellent shape. Engine is a 1600. It starts right up and runs well. Clutch is excellent. Brakes squeek but work well. Front end is tight but needs a replacement tie rod end. Transmission needs repair, it is a recent rebuild, but has a bad 3rd gear. Wheels and bumpers are original and were repainted with Glausurit in original silver white. Wheels were sand blasted and epoxy primered, painted black with the correct original overspray into the backside like original! All electrical works other than the clock and license plate light (which is missing, but power is there). Optima battery! I have a freshly restored steering wheel from Koch's steering wheels that I haven't installed yet. It is beautiful! I made an last order of parts for this Bus and they didn't send me all of the parts that I had ordered. The Bus is being sold as is, front door glass will need seals and installed. This is a very rare 13 window. These are very popular right now as many people are making the $100+ 21 windows from them. A roof kit is $5000. It was my plan to build a 21 from this Bus, but I don't have time as I just started a new job in a different city and must move quickly! The Bus is listed with a low reserve. Please ask any questions. The Bus is available for viewing in downtown Tucson. Payment MUST be made within 3 days of auctions end. Bus must be picked up within one week. Please take advantage of the low reserve and BID!!! You won't find another like it! Thanks, Christopher |

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
VW modular platform strategy goes all-in on EVs
Tue, Jan 7 2014The Volkswagen Group has already revealed or put on sale a broad slate of new electric vehicles: the E-up, the E-Golf (shown above), the Porsche 918 Spyder, the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the XL1. In 2014, there will be at least six more models, including the A3 Sportback E-Tron. And after that? Well, to hear Rudolf Krebs, Group Commissioner For Electric Vehicle Drive Systems, tell it, VW's future is full of plug-in goodness. "With our platform strategy, it is quite easy to bring a lot of electrified vehicles to the market for the different brands in a very short time," he said. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars" That strategy starts with three platforms: MQB for small cars, MLB for midsize models and MSB for sporty and premium products (there's also the NSF for cars like the E-up). Speaking to AutoblogGreen, Krebs said VW has designed modules, things like engines and electric components (think: AC compressor, on-board chargers and battery management systems), to be used across all three platforms and across all brands all. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars," he said. "This is only possible if, at an early stage of the design of new vehicles, we implement the idea that these cars are not only designed for gasoline and diesel powertrains but that we can also include CNG concepts, flex-fuel concepts, pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles. With minor changes in the body in white, we can produce those vehicles, bumper-to-bumper, in one factory." "VW wants to be the leader in the electrification of vehicles" In this way, customers can choose the powertrain that they want, or whatever powertrain their local regulations demand. Politicians have already put a lot of pressure on the automotive industry, with ever-stricter CO2 regulations coming into effect in all of the major markets. In the US, the fuel economy regulation numbers require the equivalent of 101 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer by 2025. Europe, it's 95 grams by 2020. And China, which is asking for 118 grams by 2020, will be a tough scenario, Krebs said. Today, by optimizing conventional technologies and supporting things like CNG and biofuels, more than 300 VW Group models emit less than 120 g/km. A hundred of those are even under 100 g/km. But this is not sufficient, and VW admits that conventional powertrains will not be not enough.
