This  was Volkswagen's top-of-the-line transporter. The Deluxe was essentially a normal Microbus with an extra window added to each side. These "hardtop" Deluxe Microbuses are rarer than the Samba version, and are often called "13" window buses. In the 7-passenger version, the back seat is a full bench seat, but the front seat is a "walk-thru" configuration, and the middle seat is only 2/3 length to allow access to the back seats, from the front seats.        

My son purchased the Bus, in January of 1989 from a fellow student at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA. Throughout that year he replaced the front drum brakes, brake cylinders/shoes, starter & generator, replaced front & rear bearings. 

The transmission was rebuilt in 1993 by a shop in Reading, PA, don't remember the name.

In September 1993 a new 36 hp 1600 cc VW engine was installed by Frank Hauser Foreign Car Service, Morgantown, Pa. At that time he adjusted left front link pin, removed right front king pin assembly. Custom made king pin bushing, machined king pin to fit bushing. Aligned front end. Van was then flat bedded to me in Long Island, New York. The van has been insured, registered and on the road this entire time. It has been garaged since then, as well.

2002-New, GOODYEAR  INVICTA steel belted radials. 2003-Replaced front wheel cylinders. More recently New front brake shoes, New SOLEX 30 Pict carburetor, coil, new seat padding and covers.

 All old original parts saved. Extra parts that go w/ the Bus: New rear brake shoes, various brake lines & tune-up parts.  


~ CONDITION ~

 Exterior:  Original, unrestored showing wear. Paint is chalky & panels have scratches, bumps & dents as seen in pics. All glass is good & doors open & close w/ no leaks. Rust along bottom edges. Lights, wipers & horn work. All lenses OK, trim pieces & bezels present w/ wear. New tires.

Interior: Dash in good shape, radio & middle seat missing. Mats only in front, front seats are very nice having been redone, rear bench, so, so. Panels are fair & floors have rust & holes.

Engine/Driveline: A rebuilt Type 3 c.1966 -1973, # T021672X was installed in 1993 @ 72716 miles (invoice pics below), now has 74905, read 174905. Engine was adjusted & maintained as per specs after it was installed & runs strong w/ no oil burning. Trans rebuilt & any suspension parts replaced/rebuilt, as were the brakes. Solid mechanically w/ no drips or leaks

Undercarriage: RUST! In this instance, pictures do tell the story. I’m being very honest & upfront in disclosing the Bus’s problems. It’s structurally sound although the outriggers are shot. These as well as all VW parts can be easily sourced & welded in.

Road Test/Mechanically: The videos coupled w/ a current New York Inspection demonstrate & validate its roadworthiness. It drives & handles very nicely, capable of being driven anytime, anywhere.

 

SUMMARY

This is a Classic 13 Window VW Bus that I regret selling, but need the room & must downsize. I’m sure a lot of you have had similar situations where you have the best intentions to do a full resto, but over time priorities change & the time & effort dissipate. These 13 Window Buses w/ the "Split-Window" are rare & are a real part of history. Ones in no problem condition exceed $30K as I'm sure you know, & of course Show Quality ones have reached six figures.  

Even comes with a Grateful Dead window sticker. Far Out!

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
