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!

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show

Mon, Nov 17 2014

Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? – and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed

Tue, Jan 13 2015

There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements. View 3 Photos Automobile Advertising of the Year Winners Announced New York, NY (January 13, 2015) – The One Club (www.oneclub.org), producers of the prestigious One Show Awards and Creative Week, today announced the winners for the 2nd Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards. In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.
