Your bidding on a California Black Plate 1966 Volkswagen Standard Microbus


It was Originally delivered in Sea Blue and Cumulus White, it has been repainted roughly 15 years ago in a different shade of blue and white . 

The bus is pretty straight and not much rust, there is a dent on the front nose and there was some filler used when it was repainted .  The only rust that I can see is on the front floor where it was patched by 2nd to last owners prior to 2001, this patch was a amateur job and should be removed and done correctly. Also there are a few small isolated areas on the outside edge of rear floors close to inner rocker. Also a small area in the battery tray. Really the bus is pretty darn dry for it's age.

Last owner bought it in 2001 and did nothing but spend money on mechanics, she had a New engine installed at a cost of $ 3252.19 on July 12,2002 at mileage 29523 , she stopped driving the bus roughly 3 to 4 years back.  The current mileage is 46112, so it has roughly 16500 miles on this engine .  Prior to not driving it she also had New Brakes installed some years back, New steering box and one of the reduction box's rebuilt , along with the shift linkage rebuilt and a few other things . I believe new tie rods were installed and one thing past owner told me is that it needs a alignment... front tires are balding and evidence this .  Trans shifts up and down through all gears like it should . 

We just checked the timing, adjusted the valves, bled and adjusted the brakes. the motor fires right off and sounds good and It has clean oil in it. The bus drives decent, but could use a few small things to improve it.  It has been converted to 12V and wipers are still 6V, lights work, brakelights work, horn works, right turnsignal is not working and neither are inside domelights. Even the gas gauge works !  There is a bunch of extra wires around up front from a previous old stereo system and what not.

 I drove it around the corner to 711 and put $9.01 in it .  You will NEED a new battery however as this one is dead

The bus currently is not registered and last tags on plate are from 2010, I believe it is Non opt, but am not 100% sure on that.  If the bus is sold over seas the plate does not go with it.

Back seat is from a bay Window and center leg has been cut so it is sagging, a new headliner was installed by 2nd to last owners .  This was purchased by the last owner as a father and son project. When you look at the bus thats kinda the vibe I get, some things done, but really it needs much more work thrown at it to make it a better bus . 

1 key does lock both front doors and back hatch, but not the cargo door. 


A pretty decent bus in todays market that you can get in and drive and fix it up as you go .


Sold as Is , as in life No guarantees ... 


International Shipping is not a problem , Port of Oakland is a hour away .

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.

Volkswagen bringing production GTI Clubsport to Frankfurt

Wed, Sep 9 2015

"No plans for the car to be sold here." It's probably good I read that part of the email from Volkswagen before I looked at the photos and read the release for the car you see above. It's the production-spec GTI Clubsport. It's coming to the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's awesome. And I want one. I know, I'm kind of a GTI fanboy, but really, there's a lot to like here. The special-edition hot hatch is essentially a road-going version of the concept Volkswagen brought to Worthersee this year, complete with a more powerful engine. It produces 261 horsepower – a healthy increase over the 210 hp of the base GTI (or 220 if the car is fitted with the performance pack) – and can even crank out 286 hp for short bursts, thanks to an overboost function. Hitting 62 miles per hour takes six seconds flat with the six-speed manual gearbox, and that time is reduced to 5.9 seconds should you opt for the six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Even with these upgrades, VW says the GTI Clubsport will still return nearly 34 miles per gallon with the manual transmission. Volkswagen doesn't specifically mention any chassis upgrades, however. In its press release, VW simply says that the GTI Clubsport "has groundbreaking handling properties at high speeds and breathtaking cornering speeds." Cool. I'm sure it'll be a riot. A lot of the exterior is new: the front bumper, side sills, rear diffuser, roof spoiler, and aluminum wheels are all unique to the Clubsport. Buyers can choose between 18- or 19-inch rollers, the tailpipes are larger than those on a standard GTI, and the LED lights out back have a black/red, dark finish. Inside, the Clubsport comes with racing buckets covered in tartan fabric (of course) and there's Alcantara everywhere. Fellow GTI fans, get excited about this one – even if it's just another delicious piece of forbidden fruit. Still, I can't wait to see it live in Frankfurt next week.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
