1968 VW SINGLE CAB, DUEL TREASURE CHEST VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER PICK UP TRUCK, BAYWINDOW BUS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST VW BAYWINDOW SINGLE CAB PICK UP OUT THERE. EVEN MORE RARE THAN THE SPLIT WINDOW, JUST TAKE A LOOK WHATS OUT THERE. AND AFTER HAVING ONE OF EACH, I CAN SEE WHY. THE UPGRADED MOTORS, TRANNY, SUSPENSIONS AND BASIC DRIVABILITY IS NIGHT AND DAY BETTER IN THE BAYWINDOWS OVER THE SPLIT. 1968 IS THE RAREST BEING FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION AND A ONE YEAR ONLY. AND TO FIND ONE OF THESE ON THIS COAST IN FL. AS SOLID AS THIS ONE IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. THATS WHY ITS SO HARD FOR ME TO PART WITH IT. BUT MY WHOLE FAMILY DOESNT FIT IN IT AND LIFE HAS DELT ME A NEW HAND. YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER FIND ANOTHER THIS SOLID IN THIS AREA, JUST TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF. THIS ONE IS AN OLDER RESTORATION FROM PREVIOUS OWNER (ABOUT 8 YEARS), BUT HAS HELD THE TEST OF TIME. THERE MAY BE A COUPLE OF TINY BUBBLES IN THE PAINT BUT NO RUST. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE WITH THE ORIGINAL METAL BED AND TREASURE CHEST FLOORS THIS SOLID BEFORE. JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES, THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. EVERYTHING LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL AND EVEN COMES WITH EXTRA SET OF ORIGINAL RIMS AND TIRES THAT CAN GO WITH THE SALE IF DESIRERED. THIS WAS A TOTAL LABOR OF LOVE. THE BODY LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN PAINTED IN ITS ORIGINAL LOTUS WHITE COLOR WITH OFF SETTING BRIGHT WHITE BUMPERS. AND EVEN THOUGH PAINT IS EIGHT YEARS OLD, IT STILL WAXES UP TO A SHOW ROOM SHINE. LOOKS LIKE ALL THE RUBBER WAS REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME EXCEPT THE DOOR SCRAPPERS ARE QUIT WORN. I ALSO INSTALLED NEW TMI DOOR RUBBERS AROUND BOTH FRONT DOORS. IT HAS 15 INCH TIRES WITH SHINEY RIMS WITH FAT ONES ON THE REAR FOR THAT HOT ROD STANCE THAT WHAT A TRUCK SHOULD LOOK LIKE IN MY OPINION AT LEAST. THE TREASURE CHESTS ARE AS BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE AS THE INSIDE. THE ORIGINAL KEY THAT STARTS THE BUS, LOCKS THE DOORS, ALSO OPENS ONE SIDE OF THE TREASURE CHEST. YET, OTHER TREASURE CHEST KEY HOLE IS WORN. SO, THE P/O ATTACHED PULL WIRE ON THE INSIDE TO OPEN THE OTHER AND WORKS GREAT. LOOK AT HOW GREAT SHAPE THE ORIGINAL METAL IS INSIDE AND THEN ALL THE EXTRA CARGO ROOM. NEXT, YOU CAN LAY DOWN THE SIDES AND REAR GATES TO TURN YOUR TRUCK INTO A FLAT BED. THE GATES LOOK TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE WITH THE BOTTOM OF ONE SIDE HAS BEEN RAPAIRED. WHEN I LAY THE GATES DOWN TO FORM FLAT BED, I DO HEAR SOME LITTLE OLD PIECES OF METAL INSIDE THEY DIDNT GET OUT WHEN THEY PAINTED IT. JUST A LITTLE, BUT TRYING TO BE STRAIGHT ON EVERYTHING FOR NEW OWNER. YET GATES, RUBBER BUMPERS, HINGES AND LATCHES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE ORIGINAL METAL BED LOOKS TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE TOO, JUST PAINT A LITTLE SCUFFED FROM HAULING LOADS. THE REAR GATE HAS THE ORIGINAL HOLES IN IT TO BE ABLE TO STILL SEE YOUR TAIL LIGHTS IF DRIVING WITH GATE DOWN. DOESNT THE INGINUITY AMAZE YOU FOR 1968? IT BLOWS ME AWAY... AFTER LOOKING FOR YEARS, I FINALLY FOUND AN ORIGINAL BRAZILIAN TILT CANOPY FROM THE SIXTIES IN JUST AMAZING CONDITION. SINGLE CAB MUST MEET RESERVE FOR ME TO EVEN CONSIDER LETTING THIS GO WITH THE SALE. IF YOU CAN EVER EVEN FIND ONE OF THESE TOPPERS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE (GOOD LUCK), THEY ARE PRICED OVER TWO GRAND! BUT I WILL LET IT GO. EVEN THE CANVAS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I HAVE THE ORIGINAL STRAPS THAT GO WITH IT (SEE PICTURES). THE BACK SLIDES UP OR DOWN LIKE YOUR OLD PULL MINI BLINDS THAT WERE IN YOUR HOUSE BACK IN THE SEVENTIES. THEN YOU CAN STRAP UP EACH SIDE OF THE CANOPY AS WELL. IT CHANGES THE WHOLE LOOK OF THE SINGLE CAB AND LOOKS / FUNCTIONS WAY BETTER THAN THE HOOP CANOPIES IN MY OPINION AND ARE HARDER TO FIND. I PUT A MATTRESS IN THE BED AND TAKE MY BOYS CAMPING. I HAVE THE CANOPY OFF RIGHT NOW FOR TRANSPORT AND WILL LEAVE PERMANENT INSTALL FOR NEW OWNER. OH, THE BACK PLASTIC WINDOW IS LIKE NEW TOO AND IS CLEAR AS CAN BE. I FORGOT TO CLEAN IT BEFORE I PUT IT ON, BUT YOU WILL SEE IN PERSON JUST HOW NICE IT REALLY IS... THE ENGINE IS A 1600CC DUAL PORT MOTOR THAT HAS RECENTLY BEEN REBUILT BY LOCAL VW SPECIALIST. EVERTHING IS NEW FROM PISTONS AND CLYNDERS, RINGS, BEARINGS, ALL GASKETS AND SEAL, NEW RUBBER GASKET AROUNG MOTOR TIN, CORRECT TIN BEHIND SHROUD (ALWAYS MISSING) TO SEAL OFF MOTOR COMPARTMENT, 009 DISTRIBUTOR, CAP WIRES, ROTOR, PLUGS, LITTLE CHROME TO OFF SET COLOR AND MAKE IT POP, CARBURATOR, FUEL LINES, ORIGINAL AIR CLEANER AND HOSES, FUEL PUMP, TO EVEN NEW BATTERY AND GROUND STRAP. NOT A SPEED DEMON, BUT RUNS GREAT. IT DOESNT LEAK, BUT STILL MARKS ITS SPOT LIKE THEY ALL DO! ALL THE TINS WERE SANDED, PRIMED AND PAINTED ORIGINAL BLACK WITH HEAT RESISTANT PAINT. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LOOKS TO BE A SHADE LIGHTER THAN THE BODY, BUT IS PAINTED UP VERY NICE. AND ORIGINAL METAL ON BOTH SIDES LOOKS TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE. FINALLY, ITS FINISHED OFF WITH A NEW EMPI HEADER SYSTEM WITH A GOOD LOOKING STINGER. NOW I DO HAVE A NEW SINGLE QUIET PACK IF YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE IT THAN THE STINGER. YET, THE STINGER HAS FULL BAFFLE AND RUNS VERY QUIET BUT SOUNDS OH SO GOOOOD. THE UNDERSIDE IS IN AS GOOD AS CONDITION AS THE OUTSIDE WITH NO RUST ISSUES. AND HAS BEEN HAND PAINTED WITH A POR 15 ANTI RUST TYPE BLACK CONDITIONER PAINT FOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENCE. YOU CAN LOOK FOR YOURSELF, ITS VERY IMPRESSIVE. THE INTERIOR LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE REST. THE SEATS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED IN BRAND NEW TMI COVERS IN ORIGINAL TAN COLOR. WITH MATCHING DOOR PANELS, SUN VISORS, KICK PANELS AND MATCHING HIGH QUALITY REAL LEATHER STEERING WHEEL COVER AND VW SUICIDE KNOB. NEW CUSTOM BLACK HEAD LINER THAT WILL NEVER FALL AND MATCHING NEW BLACK TMI CARPET AND ORIGINAL BLACK MATT IN GOOD CONDITION. THE FLOORS HAVE A LITTLE PATCH ON BOTH SIDES FROM P/O AND DID GREAT JOB AND TOPPED OFF WITH RETRO FOOT PEDAL. THREE SETS OF ORIGINAL SEAT BELTS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND FUNCTION GREAT. AND THE ORIGINAL ASH TRAY IS IN THE GLOVE BOX SO I COULD SLID IN A DUAL DRINK AND CELL PHONE HOLDER. ALSO NEW TMI BLACK VIYNAL UNDER THE SEATS. ALL LIGHTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD AS IN THE HEADLIGHTS (HIGH & LOW BEAM), RUNNING LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGANLS ARE OFF AND ON AND BELEAVE FLASHER IS ON ITS WAY OUT. GAS GAUGE IS INTERMEDIATE AS WELL DUE TO OUR WONDERFUL ETHANOL IN OUR GAS. DASH LIGHTS ALL WORK GOOD, SPEEDOMETER, IDIOTS LIGHTS, HORN AND THE WIPERS (HIGH & LOW) ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD. REAR BRAKES COULD USE ADJUSTMENT AND THE EMERGANCY BRAKE. I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT TRYING TO BE THOUGHAL AS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE BUYERS THAT CANT GET HERE IN PERSON. CAUSE BY ALL MEANS, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF, FEEL FREE. YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE LIKE I DID AND WILL HAVE TO BUY IT! IN CONCLUSION, THIS 1968 BAYWINDOW IS THE MOST RARE OF ALL BEING THE FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION AND IS IN INCREADABLE SHAPE. SHE LOOKS, RUNS, SHIFTS (DOESNT POP OUT OF ANY GEARS), DRIVES AND HANDLES GREAT FOR A VW BUS THATS 46 YEARS OLD! SHE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME BETTER THAN ANY OTHER I HAVE EVER SEEN. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO KEEP THIS AND AM VERY MATICOLOUS ABOUT MY VEHICLES; HENCE, I HAVE GOT WAY TOO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS BUS. IM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF TWENTY GRAND!

2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
Thu, Jan 29 2015Volkswagen calls its 2015 Jetta "refined, redesigned," and countless man-hours have gone into its re-engineering, but you'd need to crawl all over the car, unbolt most of the body, drive it or spend some time on VW's website to fathom the changes. That's why we wrote, "2015 Volkswagen Jetta is new, we promise," when we first saw the car in New York last April. While we wait for a sweeping next-generation overhaul to come, the marquee elements for now are the new structure underneath designed to win an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, fuel economy increases and a heavily reworked 2.0 TDI diesel engine. Plus, there's ornamental detailing around the body and updated interior, and the revamped trim package and accessories matrix promises to provide more value. That makes it a better buy than the 2014 model, assuming it can find buyers ready to appreciate the subtleties. Outside, improved aerodynamic prowess is the primary goal, and almost all of the visual refresh works to further that aim. A new grille with three cross fins sits atop a slipperier bumper and air intakes. On models with the 1.8T gas engine and new 2.0 TDI diesel, the grille is fitted with a shutter to decrease drag and, on the diesel, speed up the engine warming. There are sleeker rain gutters inside the A-pillars and paneling under the body by the rear axles. Attending to airflow in back is an altered decklid reshaped with an integrated spoiler. Among the other changes are optional adaptive bi-Xenon headlights lined with 15 LED running lights and a chrome strip of brightwork. New fog lights are set in the flanks of the lower lip, and LED taillights can be had on the GLI and Hybrid models, with a tweaked VW logo sitting in between. The illuminating upgrades continue inside with ambient lighting and a crisper dash cluster display. Those cabin changes are joined by an optional "tunnel" theme for the gauges, a new steering wheel design with piano black accents and chrome, redesigned vent controls and new fabric options. Changes to the front substructure from the bumper to the front doors, and strengthened A-pillars combined to win the 2015 sedan a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We're here to focus on the diesel model, and the updated EA288 2.0 TDI engine and its modular packaging is the most visceral highlight for 2015, inserting new numbers on every line of the spec sheet compared to its predecessor, save for cylinder bore spacing.
Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
VW Group plan puts Porsche in charge of a 'super-premium' division
Tue, Sep 11 2018An Automobile report looks into what's happening on the organizational and technical sides of the Volkswagen Group, and what those changes could mean for the premium brands. The wide-angle view is that Porsche appears to have been anointed to "coordinate the future activities" at Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Audi would cede Lamborghini guardianship to Stuttgart, and Ducati — via a new concern called Ducati Enterprises — would become the shepherd for VW's other Italian investments. Executives target Jan. 1, 2019, to complete the reshuffle. VW wants to save a boodle by tying up four of its five top-tier brands, and putting the one with the highest ROI in charge. Porsche, within its own house, wants to reduce expenditures by $2.3 billion per year over for four years, the savings already earmarked for improving internal processes like R&D and production. Having Porsche share those gains as well as lead development of platforms, components and future-tech strategies for the sister sports car brands could benefit everyone. In the near-term, the brands have their own plans: Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann is said to want a Chiron Superleggera, a roofless and "completely reskinned" Chiron Aperta, and a track-only Chiron SS. The Superleggera could take the Chiron Sport's and Divo's Jenny Craig routines even further. The Aperta seems a natural successor to the Veyron Grand Sport, a natural evolution of the recently introduced Sky View roof, and a reskin might include numerous Divo cues. It's also said Bugatti's considering "an all-electric high-end model" in conjunction with Porsche, Rimac, and Dallara, but name one supercar or hypercar manufacturer that isn't considering a lightning-fast EV. Lamborghini, deep into work on follow-ups for the Huracan and Aventador, might get a bit of a bump with the new plan. The carbon "monofuselage" for the next V12 flagship is said to be too far developed and too complex to scrap. It puts two electric motors on the front axle, batteries in the middle, and a naturally aspirated V12 with around 770 horsepower plus another e-motor with 402 horsepower in back. The Huracan is said to get a version of the same carbon architecture at the moment, but the corporate reorganization might press pause on it. Automobile says options include continuing the Huracan/ Audi R8 twinning, but that depends on Audi saying "Ja" to a third-gen R8 with Lamborghini bones.
