1966 Volkswagen Bus Vw on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States
|
I originally
purchased this bus to do a full restoration on since their value is going up
but due to family obligation I can no longer work on it. Right now the car runs a little rich but I
think it’s the carburetor. Car drives
great and shifts through all gears perfectly fine. I added front door panels but they are not
screwed in. I just recently registered it in California so
it will have a California title. The description
below is from the previous owner.
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 throughout 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 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. 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.
This vehicle
is sold as-is with no warranty. Don’t
miss this opportunity to own a piece of VW history. |

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
