1969 VW Bus Runs Great and shifts smoothly. I have been driving my wife and kids to camping outings since I purchased it about 3 years ago and at least once a month to work. This has been a really fun and reliable vehicle. It has very little rust, nothing major, and has been kept in the garage.
Maintenance is up to date and has a Marine Hybrid battery less than a year old. It will do 70mph on the highway all day long, It has its' original am/fm radio but it also has an aftermarket hidden am/fm radio by Custom Autosound (it can accomodate a CD changer if you want to add one).
The interior is in good shape and good working order. The headlights have been upgraded to High Intensity Halogen. The weatherstripping is in good condition.
I'm including in the sale the blue canopy, the blue table, a plugin cooler that can also heat, and the one-wheeled Allstate Sears trailer. These retro looking trailers rarely come up for sale and are very sought after. Please don't ask if I will sell trailer separately as it will be sold with bus.
The longest trip we have taken was 4hrs each way but I would not hesitate to drive this bus anywhere.
I have a clear notarized Arizona title in hand, odometer read ~155,000. True miles are unknown and unverifiable. I believe engine was rebuilt by previous owner as it does not burn oil and is too strong to be in original state (I purchased the bus at an auction). I like to be completely honest about what I am selling because I too hate surprises, so here is a list of observations.
1. The vent/heater controls do not have knobs, however the levers are very easy to move.
2. The floors boards had minor rust pitting and small holes which were treated and repaired.
3. The base where the battery sits has rust holes. A very sturdy metal frame battery holder was made to secure battery down.
4. It no longer has the foldaway top cot, but because my kids were always wanting to sleep up there, I made a board and cut some foam to fit and turn the upper area into a bed.
5. One of the large side windows is missing its screen.
6. The windshield wiper solution sprayer does not work. All components are there, but I think the push button is the culprit.
7. There is a very small dent on bottom part of passenger side door.
8.My kids lost my keys and all I could find was the spare ignition key. A key for the doors/hood will need to be made.
A non refundable $500 deposit is required within 2 days of auction's end. I will accept a deposit through pay pal, but balance must be paid via Certified Check, Wire funds, Money Order or Cash with 7 days.
Price does not include shipping. Purchaser must set up own method of shipping but I could drop her off anywhere around town if needed.
This is a 44 year old bus that is a driver and not a trailer queen, so it is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee. It is an excellent running VW bus and its condition is as described. Please ask additional questions if you need more information, I'll be happy to write or call back.
Check my feedback rating and bid with confidence.
if you want pics of something specific that I have not posted, I'd be more than happy to take them and send them to you.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
BTW, I really do hate to sell her (my kids are not going to be happy with me that's for sure) but I need the money, which is why the reserve and Buy it Now price have been set low. If this looks like something you have to have, don't hesitate too long, as I honestly doubt it will last until the end of the auction. With that said, I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
