1965 Volkswagen Bus Type II

This is an 11-window restored unique beauty.  We spent approximately 12 months restoring a shell that we found in New Mexico building a special "flower power" vehicle for my wife.  The entire shell was sandblasted and then coated for protection against rust.  All of the interior and mechanicals were either refreshed or completely replaced and upgraded.  Here are some key features:

  • Custom paint (including pink wheels)
  • Front disc brake upgrade
  • Modern refrigerator
  • 120v power connection on exterior with outlets and breaker inside cabin
  • Flat panel TV w/ DVD player in the rear cabin
  • Bluetooth/CD Player/Navigation system
  • Seat heaters for the driver and front passenger
  • A/C system
  • Upgraded alternator
  • Dual battery setup
  • Rubberized sprayed flooring beneath carpet for durability and protection
  • White vinyl headliner
This Bus was a labor of love.  All of the window seals were replaced and all glass replaced.  All of the side windows open (except the ones on the side doors which are fixed position).

The Bus drives great and is a lot of fun.  People go crazy when they see it.  We take it to car shows and parked next to Ferrari Enzo's it gets the larger crowd.

Cosmetically, the bus is in great shape but we do actually USE it so there are a few chips and scratches.  There is one flawed paint crack up front, but the bus is an "A".

We have loved having the Bus but have decided to move on to a new project.  We hope the Bus goes to a new owner who will love and care for it as much as we do!

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

Mon, Feb 24 2014

How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
