Ok, Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Volkswagen History. I bought this from the Original Owner. It sat in a garage in Mcminville Oregon for years. It served the owner very well through out the years, until it was parked, due to Brake issues. It was bought new @ Koch Motor's and I have the Original Dealer licence plate Frame, as well as the Original Oregon Plates, that were issued to it when the Original owner bought it.
When I purchased it...It had sat for quite a while. It needed some rust repair in the front floor, as well as the rear cargo floor. I bought and installed a Gerson complete front floor. It still could use some rust repair, but nothing too crazy really. You can enjoy it right now and do it as time allows, as I have done. It will come with the Original Title from 1968 when it was paid off, Original Keys, Original Owners manual, warranty booklet, receipt's, Selling Dealers Warranty looking credit card with the vehicle and owners info on it, which is a pretty cool thing that is usually missing. It has the Original Engine and Original Big but Transmission. This bus runs and drives great! Here is a List of what I have done to make it Road Worthy:
New Shocks and new Link Pins
New Master Cylinder
New Wheel Cylinders
New Shoes and I had the drums turned
New soft Brake lines up front
Full Tune up on Original Engine
New Battery and Fuel Line from Tank to pump to carb, as well as a new fuel filter.
New Tires with fresh Powdercoated wheels
Lubed all Zerk Fittings
It is a Walk Thru Model, which is more desirable to most and has all of the Original Seats and they are in Excellent Condition. The Middle seat Upholstery could be stitched up. Both Original Floor mats are Intact. Has long interior panel but missing other Interior panels. Has the Spare Tire in back, as well as the Original Spare Tire cover. Overall, it is hard to find a bus as complete as this one is and it is even harder to find one in this condition.
Overseas Buyers are Welcome to bid and There is the Port of oakland, which is 100 miles from me, so not too far.
* NOTE: My Personalized California Licence plate and Frame are not included in this sale. It will come with the Original Oregon plates and Original Selling Dealer's Frame.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According 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.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
