“KNOW THE STORY, SHARE THE DREAM, GET INVOLVED”
What you are looking at is a 1969 Volkswagen transporter bus that has been fully restored by EMC in Ventura California.
From the first day this bus came into the shop (March 18th 2013) till now, it has undergone an extensive 1 year full restoration all in the hopes to bring this “one of a kind” vehicle back to life to live again for another 40+ years!
We knew from day one that this bus will need a lot of work, time and commitment to get it to the high level of quality we are aiming for. So what better way to show to the people the transformation this bus received than providing them with HUNDREDS of pictures? So we did! And I mean hundreds of pictures! From day one till now we snapped pictures of all the stages this bus has gone through. You will be truly amazed on how this bus went from 40+ years of age all the way up to dealership quality!
And most of all, the story of this bus goes deeper than “just a restoration” it is my story behind it. I truly believe that the person interested in this bus is not just “buying” the vehicle; but rather you are knowing my story, believing my dream and getting involved. Let’s share this adventure together.
Upon purchase of the vehicle you will receive a complimentary RESTORATION portfolio!

work done in metal with hammer and dolly, NO bondo was used, and any found on
the vehicle was removed, minimal glaze was used to even the surface area after
hammer and dolly work, then was sealed. High build primer was applied, sanded,
and prepared for paint.

A gallon of single stage off white paint was applied
in multiple coats on the top half and the complete interior of the bus then a gallon of beryl green was applied in multiple coats on the
bottom half and into the engine compartment, then the exterior was color sanded
and polished to give a long lasting shine. The engine compartment was finished
off in black.
The rims were stripped to bare metal
and painted to a durable shine with the same color applied to the bumpers. Then
the complete under carriage including fender wells were prepped and painted
with black under carriage spray to preserve and prevent rust and protect from gravel
damage.
INTERIOR-
After the complete interior was
removed all surface areas were prepped, and had a generous coat applied of rust
converting and encapsulating black paint called POR 15.
Upholstery- the original upholstery
material was removed from the frames and then the metal was prepped and coated
with POR 15, reupholstered with high grade durable vinyl and tweed. A new vinyl
headliner was installed of the original color and pattern. All new panels were
purchased and wrapped to match the unique style of the seats.
ALL factory floor mats were replaced
with NEW rubber copies of the original to provide original feel and durability.
All vent windows were rebuilt to achieve original functionality and were
reinstalled with high quality German seals.
Window regulators were cleaned and greased
to provide smooth travel. Interior lights, handles, and cranks were replaced

DRIVETRAIN-
We started by stripping the 1600 engine down to the bare block. Took all the engine tins and stripped them down to bare metal and then did any needed repairs, sprayed them completely with the factor style black paint. The engine checked for tolerances then reassembled with new pistons, and barrels. The heads were machined and had all the parts restored or replaced with high quality replacement parts. The engine was reassembled with a real German gasket kit. The original carburetor and the distributor were rebuilt. A new and complete clutch system was installed. The transmission had the fluid removed, tolerances checked, and then rebuild gasket kit was installed. All new brake parts were installed.
DISCLAIMER- Actual mileage is unknown. The mileage listed is what was read off the guage that was in the vehicle when the restoration ended. The bus is sold as is and has no warranty. If any issues come up with this bus within the first 30 days and is located within 200 miles of my location Ventura, Ca I will be happy to come and help resolve them.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW Golf TDI wins green car award, DC buses might go electric
Wed, Jul 23 2014The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI has won the award for 2014 Northwest Green Car or the Year. The distinction comes from the Northwest Automotive Press Association during its Drive Revolution event in Portland. Co-chairman of the event, Jeff Zurschmeide, says, "Volkswagen has led the diesel passenger car market for years, and the Golf TDI proves that they're likely to stay on top for a while." The 2015 Golf TDI has 10 more horsepower than the outgoing model, while improving fuel economy thanks to a new engine. It also has a base price $3,000 lower than the 2014 Golf TDI.

The laser lights use half the energy of their LED counterparts, according to BMW, which is important when one is trying to get every last bit of range out of the car's battery. The laser high beams can also reach about twice as far as LED lighting. Because of their brightness, they won't be available on cars sold in the US. In laser-equipped i8s, the laser high beams will not work below 60 kilometers per hour, nor when other lights are detected in front of the vehicle. Head to Automotive News Europe to read more. Renault has delivered a fleet of 30 Kangoo ZEs to Uruguay's government-owned power company, UTE. The electric fleet will allow the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 36 metric tons, says Renault. 84 percent of Uruguay's electricity comes from renewable sources, with a goal of 90 percent on the horizon. Uruguay aims to get a third of its electricity from wind farms by 2016, meaning these Kangoo ZEs will be powered in no small part by renewable energy. For Renault, "This order is a further sign of the interest in the region for electric vehicles," according to Denis Barbier, Renault's senior vice president, citing previous deliveries in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia.

Some of the diesel buses, which were first put to work in 2003, are nearing the end of their life cycle, and DC sees an opportunity to make the switch to something a little greener. "Electric has not been a viable option in previous procurements, but now it is," says Will Handsfield, Georgetown Business Improvement District's transportation director. Handsfield is concerned about air quality, and says he also appreciates the long-term stability of electric rates compared to diesel.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
