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!

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, Jul 23 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once – especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015. The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well. For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan – both long rumored to be on their way out – will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment. Meanwhile the Routan, which hasn't actually been built in over a year, is finally dead, as VW confirms it has dropped the Chrysler-built minivan from its lineup for 2015 altogether. The German automaker has also confirmed that the Touareg is getting a facelift early in the new year, which we expect will closely follow the revisions revealed a few months ago ahead of the Beijing Motor Show. Finally VW has announced an upgrade to its 2.0-liter TDI. Fitted to the Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle, the updated diesel gets 10 more horsepower with output now up to 150 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque. Scope out the full list of announcements in the press release below. MODEL YEAR 2015: NEW GOLF FAMILY, REDESIGNED JETTA, AND NEW TDI® CLEAN DIESEL ENGINE HEAD THE CHANGES Jul 22, 2014 In a busy year, Volkswagen will also add a new Golf SportWagen, an all-new Golf R, a redesigned Touareg SUV, and the company's first U.S.-market EV, the e-Golf - All-new Golf is bigger, lighter, and more fuel-efficient than the previous model, seats five, and has a larger trunk than any midsize sedan - New Golf GTI has 210-horsepower engine, with improved fuel efficiency and performance - e-Golf is Volkswagen's first full Battery Electric Vehicle for sale in the U.S.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map
Thu, May 31 2018BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.
