1978 Volkswagen 9 passenger factory sunroof bus Barnfind. Sitting for a few years in a garage / barn.

It now has a new complete 4 1/2 narrowed beam with adjustable suspension and rear boomerang plates, this was just installed parts and labor over $2k of suspension work. Engine will run but has vacuum leaks etc. will need wakeup work. Will not pass smog in California and being sold not running, missing the 60% of the front seat.

Restored they go for alot of $$$$ and this bus 

These Volkswagen Sunroof Transporters are becoming hard to find. I recently got it running and it sounded good but it will need fresh gas tuning, vacuum lines etc, saftey inspections etc prior to being driven so IT BEING SOLD AS IS NON OPERATIONAL. Will need a brake job from sitting. The interior is complete less the passenger 2/3 and the body is decent and I've seen worse. Floors have surface rust but no major holes that I can see. The passenger rear taillight has a rust hole and needs a battery tray.


If you have been in the market for a vw window bus, then you know it's RARE to find a sunroof bus. the sunroof works but needs cables etc. body is decent except drivers side center needs some attention and the rear passenger corner and battery area.

It has a nice complete brown interior with all its seats except the front passenger seat. I know a guy that has one if desired. This an excellent investment as there going to continue to SKYROCKET in value! 

Please remember this is not a restored bus; it has some dings, rust, scratches, and minor paint touchups which is common for being over 35 years old.

Look around and you will see there are few to none availiable in the marketplace for the price of this one. I have a CLEAR title in hand as it was purchased from an estate sale.

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.

Winterkorn not under official investigation in Germany

Thu, Oct 1 2015

Prosecutors for the state of Lower Saxony in Braunschweig, Germany, are now saying that former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn is no longer specifically under investigation for his role in alleged fraud related to the automaker's diesel emissions scandal. The lawyers are clarifying that there's no formal inquiry into the exec because there's not yet enough evidence to establish a suspicion of wrongdoing, Bloomberg reports. However, they are still looking into VW's actions. Earlier this week, the prosecutors announced they had begun an initial investigation into Winterkorn for alleged fraud in the emissions regulation evasion. At that time, there were reportedly 12 complaints asking the lawyers to look into the case, including one from VW. Under German law, only a person could be charged for the potential crimes, rather than a whole company. "An initial suspicion must be based on facts, and you must begin an investigation before you can establish the facts," Christoph Schalast, a professor at the Frankfurt School of Finance, said to Bloomberg. Meanwhile in the US, the investigation continues into VW. The Department of Justice has the support from at least two senators to pursue criminal and civil charges against the company. The attorneys general in at least 29 states are also looking into things. Meanwhile, lawyers are building a class-action lawsuit, as well. To help in its defense, the automaker is employing the help of the same firm that defended BP during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Related Video:

2015 Volkswagen Golf: Green Car of the Year?

Wed, Apr 1 2015

As you may recall, VW's compact Golf was voted 2015 North American Car of the Year by a jury of 57 veteran automotive journalists (including this one) and named Car of the Year by Motor Trend and Yahoo Autos and Best Car to Buy 2015 by Green Car Reports. "The range of green options in the 2015 Volkswagen Golf range is hard to beat," says Green Car Reports editor John Voelcker. "With more fuel-efficient gasoline engines, a new TDI diesel option that comes close to real-world hybrid mileage levels, and the all-electric VW e-Golf, the 2015 Golf gives buyers a good-better-best menu of options for driving green." The car was also a finalist for Green Car Journal's "Green Car of the Year," but ultimately lost to the BMW i3 EV. When I saw GCJ editor Ron Cogan at last November's Los Angeles Auto Show, he asked me to guess which finalist would win. Based on its efficiency and versatility, I guessed the Golf. He smiled but the next day, he named the i3 the winner. Okay, the technically impressive, carbon-fiber-bodied i3 is a formidable green machine wearing a prestige German label at a semi-affordable ($43,000) price. But it comes in just one (somewhat odd-looking) body style with a choice of all-electric or range-extending electric powertrains, and its EPA-official ranges are 81 miles for the former and just 150 for the latter, costlier version, which totes a tiny (647cc) 34-hp two-cylinder BMW motorbike engine in its tail. By contrast, the 2015 Golf comes in 3- and 5-door hatchback and even more practical Sportwagen body styles and offers a wide range of eager yet fuel-thrifty turbocharged gas and clean-diesel engines, most with a choice of manual or automatic transmission. An all-electric e-Golf, one of the best EVs we've yet driven, is also available in some areas, and that will be followed, VW says, by a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid and even a CNG-powered model. No question this all-new seventh-generation 2015 VW Golf is easily the best ever. A bit larger, roomier, aerodynamically slicker and more fuel efficient than the Gen VI Golf it replaces, it's built on an all-new modular platform and boasts an amazing range of models, powertrains and features.
