Very rare Bus. Excellent bus to do a 21 window clone with. Needs almost NO METAL WORK!!
The Bus has been tapped in the front and rear drivers corner only. Neither will require any metal replacement. Note the front valance has perfect curve and has no damage. It is skin only. Same with the rear corner. All taps with a hammer, no panel replacement. A qualified metal worker with a stud welder can pull these two dents and have them completely repaired in a day. From there notice all absolutely flawless door gaps. You cant find this in 2014. This is here because I knew what this Bus was a dozen years ago when I saved it from its destined to be used at that time. At that time I couldn't believe what I had. It has probably no miles on it, everything is in super nice shape and nothing really shows much use, just a lot of Az sun:) It is a good thing that i got distracted with my a.d.d. on a 21 window. I kept this Bus to clone a 21 with because it is a very perfect Bus. To graft in a top would be simple and this is the nicest framed and bodied Bus that i have ever come across in a deluxe so i have kept it. Lucky for the highest bidder, deluxe roofs are now being reproduced for around $5k, complete!!
And, most of the 21 windows that you've seen in the last few years are cloned copies. 3 of 4 Buses rolling out at famed Wcc are now cloned 21s! This is a very accepted way to have a 21, even M code plates are being reproduced. I am moving on to restore Porsches at a very highly acclaimed shop in S.F. and need to clear my yard. By definition; a barn find. Coming from the backyard of a Vw restoration shop owners personal barn.
I've been rolling in the dirt since before I could drive with rare early Vws and here is one of the best boned Buses that I have ever seen! Cheers! To the details...
The bus comes with no engine. I can supply a core 1600 single port complete engine for $1000. It is complete with all time, exhaust, etc but has locked up and been stored in the elements. Excellent core to start with. It is not original to this Bus but us an excellent core engine as it is complete down to the stock Bus exhaust tip.
Any questions please call me @ 650-863- seven969.
Vehicle is also available locally and has been presented to a group of friends and may sell locally, I may pull the ad and end the auction early in that event.. Please contact me with interest so I know to keep it up.
I have a clear title for the Bus. These are very rare Buses to come by. The last one that I saw anywhere near the condition sold for over 17k. That Bus was rusty and needed over 10k of metal work and a ton of time to be where this Bus is.
This Bus will sell. Be sure to get your bids in early!
Thanks,
Christopher

When Android Automotive goes in the dash, Google wins — and automakers lose data
Tue, May 22 2018You've gotta hand it to Google for the way the Silicon Valley tech giant has made indelible inroads into the car on multiple fronts. The most obvious is with its pioneering self-driving car technology that's caused car companies to get their act together on autonomous vehicles — and also collaborate with Google. Google has more directly extended its influence and data-mining capabilities into the car with its Android Auto smartphone-projection platform that most major automakers have adopted along with Apple's CarPlay. And now it's preparing to dig even deeper into dashboards by deploying its open-source operating system, Android Automotive, beginning with Audi and Volvo. Volvo recently announced that its next-generation Sensus infotainment system will run Android Automotive as an OS and include Google's Play Store for cloud-based content, Maps for navigation and Google Assistant for voice recognition, which can even command a car's climate control. By embedding Google in the dash, Volvo says owners will get an improved connected experience. "Bringing Google services into Volvo cars will accelerate innovation in connectivity and boost our development in applications and connected services," Volvo senior vice president of R&D Henrik Green said in a statement. "Soon, Volvo drivers will have direct access to thousands of in-car apps that make daily life easier and the connected in-car experience more enjoyable." Having Android Automotive onboard could benefit drivers — and provide a big win for Google, since it opens a deep and lucrative new data-mining vein for the company. But it's a wave of a white flag for car companies when it comes to delivering their own cloud-based content and services. It also represents a massive data giveaway and, for Audi, a reversal of earlier reservations about letting Google get too much access to car data. Not long after Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were introduced in 2014 and most automakers eagerly embraced the technologies, several German automakers second-guessed their decision when they realized what was at stake: data. At a conference in Berlin in 2015, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler said car owners "want to be in control of their data, and not subject to monitoring." A few months earlier, Stadler stated that "the data that we collect is our data and not Google's.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
