This is a 1969 Bay Window Volkswagen (Type II) Transporter Panel Delivery (whew…I think I covered all of the possible names). This VW panel delivery is not only an early bay window bus, but also a rare find in the US. Due to the lovely Chicken Tax (google it) commercial Volkswagen’s commercial vehicles are harder to find here, because they were (and still are) very expensive to import. This is registered and insured in Kansas and tags will expire in June. It has been in Volkswagen original colors Neptune Blue and Ivory White. It is customized with an Eberspacher gasoline underbody heater. The heater is in great shape but needs a fan and a glow plug replaced to be functional. Poking around I found both of these items for less than $200 combined, so if you live somewhere cold this is a must have! This van features the walk-thru front seats for easy access to the cargo hold and a standard sliding side door on the passenger side. The cargo area on the bus is great if you’re a delivery guy. The original advertisement even boasted about how this model was “All business.” If you originally purchased this bus for leisurely drives and the option for some overnight camping, you were out of luck. You get the best of both worlds when you purchase this restomodded VW panel delivery. I’ve modified the interior with passenger seating by installing a ’74 double pullout rear z bed, and also installing a ’72 dash. There is an Allison electronic ignition installed so you won’t be required to adjust the points. The engine has been replaced with a 1600CC oil cooled motor, with a 4 speed transmission, has a Weber two-staged carb, and currently less than 10,000 miles on this engine. Rear engine seals have been replaced along with the clutch. Lucky for you, this has been garage kept and maintained and boy does she shine. This is a great bus as an everyday driver and starts right up with a charged battery. I had planned on finishing up fully restoring it, but life happens. This bus is perfect for anyone wanting a bus to personalize, without having to put all of the work into restoring it. This bus is essentially a blank canvas ready to be made into whatever dream you have for it. The windowless panels definitely allow for some awesome paint jobs, and this bus is ready to be customized as an off-roader too, as the rear-wheel wells were customized at some point and will allow for larger/taller/wider wheels. This car made sense as a single dude…but now my rapidly expanding family requires a more modern vehicle. It may need some adjustments as it has only been driven once or twice a month lately, but the motor runs and the brakes stop. The rims are VW stamped standard wide 5 rims. The half-moon domes are missing, but the clips are present to make attaching them a breeze. The rear tires are Tiger Paws and the front tires are Pirelli Street tire. Both are in good condition with lightly worn tread. Original drum brakes are working fine. All lights on the vehicle work and ventilation system is in working condition as well. There is an aftermarket roof vent that was installed. This is brand-new and doesn’t leak. The body of this panel delivery is in excellent shape after all metal being restored. All necessary rust has been restored and only normal surface rust on the undercarriage is present. The front bumper was not reattached as it was too badly damaged and the wingsteps were missing. It can still be attached; you would just need to put a little more work into it. I have additional parts that I will be including with the sale as well: A Brazilian made 009 distributor complete with extra cap, points, and condenser, a rear interior spare tire cover (black plastic w/ VW logo), front VW logo is included but not attached, rear “Volkswagen” type logo included but not attached, original am/fm antenna (working), a rolling VW engine stand, extra lens covers and rings for back lights, and rings only for front lights, and a grey canvas “Rocky Mountain Motorworks Cover”. The interior is almost complete, and would just need some finishing touches to look pristine. The window seals, felts, and scrapers have all been replaced. The rear-hatch and side-door seals are in good shape. Seats up front are from a ’72 bus. They are high back bucket seats. They need new upholstery and padding, but all mechanical parts are in working condition. They currently have sheepskin covers which work great, look cool and are included with this purchase. The double rear z bed offers different seating arrangements so it can be customized to meet different needs. Concerts or campouts, this bus will get you there and back. This is a great driver and with a bit more work will be choice. Whether this bus is for you or your child as they venture out into the world, memories will be made that will last a lifetime.
· The Bus is listed locally I reserve the right to remove listing if it sells locally and hasn't hit the reserve price. · $500 non-refundable deposit (paypal) required from the buyer within 48 hours of end of Auction.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
2015 Volkswagen Touareg [w/video]
Fri, Dec 5 2014The second-generation Volkswagen Touareg has been in production since 2010, and is therefore staring down the last part of its model cycle. To keep buyers interested, the company has undertaken a refresh of its upscale midsize SUV. As is typical of these things, the changes include some exterior and interior rejuvenation, as well as increased content levels and a slight uptick in price. The basics of the styling changes are pretty straightforward. The 2015 Touareg can be pretty easily spotted versus the outgoing model by way of its four-bar chrome grille, a cleaner headlight design, bigger VW badge and a completely new lower front clip. (I got one photo of the old and new models side-by-side for my Twitter followers before we rolled out on the drive.) There's also a thin strip of chrome that runs around the bodywork, standard LED taillights and a selection of three new wheel styles and five new paint colors. Inside, I found it harder to spot the changes, old to new. The Touareg's switchgear has been updated and there's a new frame for the infotainment display, but there's no piece that stands out and says "new model year!" Powertrains and mechanical bits all carryover from the 2014 Touareg, too. But there were a few functional changes to the vehicle, primarily in the new Driver's Assistance Package, for me to take note of as I took a lap of my favorite Ann Arbor, MI driving route. Drive Notes Let me start with the newest news then, the Driver Assistance pack. Volkswagen will sell you this suite of safety gear on either the mid-level Lux or the top-end Executive trims, for $2,500. The package included adaptive cruse cruise control, "Front Assist" for emergency braking situations, lane-keep assist and blind spot monitoring. If the contents of that package don't strike you as revolutionary, you're not alone. Some or all of the technologies that are new to the Touareg have been around other showrooms – and other VW family products – for quite a while. Still, they're nice to have as options. All of the driver assistance features that I was able to test worked as advertised, too. The adaptive cruise uses cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors, so it isn't likely to be impacted by inclement weather, which is nice. I also appreciate that the lane-keep assist (which offers the driver a haptic buzz to the steering wheel when straying out of the lane) can be turned off, or turned down in terms of intensity and reaction time.
VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen 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."
