Here is your chance to own a true honest clean Original 1969 Vw Deluxe transporter . This Bus 100% unrestored completely Original !! It was purchased from and elderly gentleman in the dry desert area of Washington state . From the story I got with the bus is the previous owner, owned for many years he had gotten to the age where he could drive any longer and parked the bus in 2003 , I bought and it was in running and driving condition . But after things sit for any period of time , Its always best to go thru and check things out . Since the bus was in such amazing condition anyway . I decided to go thru the braking system , replacing wheel cyl.,master ,rubber lines and brakes shoes . I had the motor removed and new seals installed , with new clutch , exhaust , battery , new fuel lines . Basically what is would take to make a daily driver .
The motor is a 1600cc single port , which appears to have been rebuild or was a replacement motor at some point over the buses lifetime . The transmission had new fluids , and shifts smoothly as is should . All the electrical system works perfect . even the horn .
Body condition on this bus is amazing . NO Rust in rockers , inner wheel wells . the is a little bit under the battery but very minor . The only other traces of rust are some surface rust on the front floors . Driver side front floor has a couple little thin spots and a few pin holes , But still a very solid bus for its age .
The paint is amazing 100% Original Paint !! No accidents , No bodywork , No welding on the body at all ever ! Its all factory and for a 44 year old vehicle is truly awesome !!
The interior is also completely Original , With the exception of the front seats being redone in the original style upholstery . This Bus Comes with the new roof rack and Brand new 195/75/14 tires .
The Bus has character sporting its factory paint , yes it has a few rock chips, scratches , a little door ding or two . But it shines like the day it left the factory 44 years ago . The paint underneath this bus is even good . The underside is so dry and nice , Its almost unbelievable !!
I have to say it again , This is an all original unrestored bus .. And many will say its only Original Once .. and as classic cars are being restored everyday . Its much harder to find something in this condition ..

VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives
Tue, Dec 23 2014Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli
VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
