Wonderful 1969 Vw Bus

Many Upgrades & New Parts Added to enhance your driving buzz!

I aquired this bus locally in S. Florida. It was originally from California.
The body was in excellent shape for its age. 
This Bus received a full work up from top to bottom.
I will do a rundown of all work performed.
I have driven it for over a year now. All finishing work such as paint and
suspension etc were all performed within a few months ago.

Engine: Engine is original stock 1600 single port.
The engine was rebuilt buy the previous owner.
They did not detail the tins and components but the motor
runs excellent and drips no oil ( if thats possible).
I installed an original bosch vacuum distributor
I also installed a new carb to air cleaner rubber neck.
New Pic 30/31 Solex Oem carb.
The battery is new and the voltage reg is a new bosch.
The engine is correct and the way it was in 69.

The transmission was upgraded with a rebuilt late model trans out of
a late 70's bus. It has a better ring and pinion and it shifts smoother too.
Much better trans than stock.

Suspension: The entire suspension system is new.
Front: New Disc Brakes off of a 72 Bus. New rotors calipers and pads.
New tie rods. New Ball Joints top and bottom. New drag link, New hoses for brakes New snubbers and sway bar bushings, Kyb Shocks. Basically everything was replaced with New.

The Rear: The same with the rear. New Cv Joints, Rebuilt Drum brake system, Kyb Shocks , hoses, etc.

All German parts were used, no chinese stuff.

The Body, A new paint job was added. Premium Primer and Topcoat.
Refinished in Original Montana Red With Cloud White.

Seals:  All New Seals Throughout: All windows, slider, hatch, engine, lenses, etc etc.

The side vent windows were replaced with original VW Sliders Out of a late model bus. Really nice air flow and hard to find.

A New deluxe Trim Kit was added to the perimeter of the belt line.
It's stunning and really sets this bus off.

The glass is in excellent shape on this bus

The entire undercarriage was refinished in the stock grey that was used at the factory. It was also primered.

A Custom original style stereo was added. At the cost of $240. It looks old but went into the stock uncut dash and it has usb and aux hookup with digital display. Super cool. Alpine front speakers and kicker in the rear speakers under the seat set in original seat base plate.

Interior: Way Cool interior custom done by me. Door panels were a new kit covered in a dashiki type print. Original arm rests are still attached.

A 48 star 1930's flag hangs from the ceiling. The original headliner is still there. It is in decent shape but has a couple holes. New hatch covers installed.

New front rubber mat, Original mid section rubber mat is there and in good Shape. A nice multicovered rug is over it.

Very cool spiral beads hang over the walk through entrance way.

The rear seat was recovered in original smurf print material. 

The inside is way cool and really takes you back. The custom Hippy print curtains also set this bus way off.

Back to driving. This bus drives absolutely excellent. It tracks straight at 65 and never lets up. Suspension is better than new and is super reliable turnkey everytime.

I have added 4 new white wall tires, mounted on original 15" Vw rims off an early split window. There is also a spare with original Vw Cover.

The original jack is also included.

All guages work and all functions work too. I installed a custom Tach mounted to the dash. It can be removed and I did not cut anything.

Wipers, all lights, turn signals, hazards, horn, etc etc work properly.

It is really a one of a kind bus and whomever wins will be very happy. No dissapointments here. This bus is everything and more. Many cool upgrades and many many new parts. A lot of time and money was put in to restoring this bus. 
The paint is super smooth and was polished to perfection

Being sold at No Reserve.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?

Wed, Apr 1 2015

There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
