body in fairly good shape for a nearly 40 yr old bus.
will need very little work to get it looking good
frame and underside in good shape.
all windows in tact and in good shape, all windows roll down and side pop outs open and lock.

stops on a dime, breaks professionally bled and properly adjusted.
comes with top luggage rack!! $350 value, looks awesome
clear front turn signals
60's style steel VW front emblem
after market cd player, and great dual rear speakers under rear seat.
never had any problems with transmission. works good.
oil/air filter/fuel filter changed every 2 months
valves adjusted, new carb, breaks adjusted a couple years ago, and has been strong ever since!!! i have paper work from mechanic.

i have VOLKSWAGEN script that goes on hatch. NEW
good battery! fairly new
current registration "april 2014"
pink slip in hand

THE USUAL "PROBLEMS" WITH AN OLD BUS
spots oil, not a ton, but does drip when parked. this may be fixed with a new oil pan bolt and seal. (easy fix)
if you are a novice vw driver the shifting won't be a problem, if you are new at it, shifting can get a little stubborn , just takes some time to get used to
the patterns.
1 tire has a slow leak, i just fill it up every so often... i don't drive it enough to go buy a new tire. (easy fix, and cheap)
found a rust through area under passengers feet area. previous owners filled it with bondo. i grinded it out. a clean cut with a piece of sheet metal will fix the problem,. hole is about 5"x3" .
has minor surface rust, as any 40 yr old car will have. but no rust throughs on the exterior. no panels will need to be replaced.
sloping door is from another bus. the previous owner did not attach a proper sliding hanger i think. it might be missing something. its a little lose when you open it. and needs to be pushed up inter place when it closed. this is common when doors are changed! i was told by my mechanic it can be fixed. but it was fine for me. still opens and closes.
i lost the keys at one point, had to get ignition key re made. therefore i did not replace the door keys. to obtain door keys the door handle wil need to be taken to a locksmith to re key. the ignition cost me $20 for a new key, doors will be cheap as well!!
no keys for hatch and engine lid. you can replace locking mechanism , very cheap . busdepot.com , easy fix
a few dents that i had filled with bondo, nothing major.
bus originally came with a pancake engine. a 1600 dual port was installed, conversion tin was never installed. therefore there is a gap in the engine compartment, my mechanic said this is not necessary , more air flow gets to engine which is good considering it is air-cooled, conversion tin is a personal preference item, and i chose not to purchase . does not affect condition, only cosmetic addition
OVERALL
it is a good bus. in good condition for its age. turn key and ready to drive every day!!! unfortunately i do not drive it enough with my schedule and don't have the time to give it that little sparkle that it deserves.
drive as is , or put a little time and effort to get it looking clean!!

VW internal investigation finds 'no evidence' against suspended engineers
Tue, Oct 6 2015Volkswagen is still working out the chain of events that led to emissions-evading software being installed in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide and deciding who was responsible for the treachery. So far, the German automotive giant's internal investigation hasn't publicly named many suspects, and three suspended executive-level engineers have been found not to be culpable in the wrongdoing, according to an anonymous insider speaking to Reuters. VW knows that the software began being installed in the EA 189 engine in 2008. The internal investigation has found that the emissions-evading tech was created because the powerplant was found to fail US standards. Plus, the diesel mill wasn't meeting cost targets, according to Reuters. The automaker responded by suspending over 10 employees, but three top engineers among them might not have been involved. Those put on leave include Heinz-Jakob Neusser from VW, Ulrich Hackenberg from Audi, and Wolfgang Hatz who led Porsche's research and group-wide engine development. The internal detective work hasn't turned up any evidence against these three men. In addition to VW's own inquires, government investigators in both the US and Germany are taking a serious look into the company's actions, too. So far, the automaker is setting aside about $7.3 billion to pay to fix the vehicles with the evasive software. Depending on what authorities find, the costs could grow quickly. Beyond the financial implications, the scandal has led to a serious shakeup in VW's corporate structure. Related Video:

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
