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.

Daimler says straight up it doesn't cheat on emissions tests

Mon, Sep 28 2015

Distancing itself from VW and its diesel emissions scandal, Daimler has put out a statement saying that it has never installed devices on their vehicles that would artificially reduce emissions during a testing process. The company added that it "actively" supports European regulators' efforts to improve emissions-testing methods to better measure emissions during "real" driving conditions. BMW put out a similar statement last week, saying that its diesels are programmed to be tested properly. While Mercedes-Benz diesels were a fixture on US roads in past decades, the company's diesel sales are now concentrated overseas. "We categorically deny the accusation of manipulating emission tests regarding our vehicles," Daimler said in Friday's statement. "A defeat device, a function which illegitimately reduces emissions during testing, has never been and will never be used at Daimler." There's a reason for that sort of straightforward statement. Namely, heads continue to roll at VW after the automaker admitted it manipulated software in its diesel vehicles to pass US emissions testing. VW followed up by saying that as may as 11 million vehicles worldwide may contain that software and has set aside $7.3 billion to address the issue. VW CEO Martin Winterkorn stepped down as well. Take a look at Daimler's press release below. Daimler AG categorically denies any and all allegations of manipulation Stuttgart, Sep 25, 2015 In light of the ongoing assertions from the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), a non-government organisation, and the related speculation, Daimler AG once again clearly states that: We categorically deny the accusation of manipulating emission tests regarding our vehicles. A defeat device, a function which illegitimately reduces emissions during testing, has never been and will never be used at Daimler. This holds true for both diesel and petrol engines. Our engines meet and adhere to every legal requirement. In light of the written request by the DUH, which was sent to us this morning with a deadline to respond by 3:00 pm (CET), and the seven questions they posed, we can confirm that none of the allegations apply to our vehicles. The technical programming of our engines adheres to all legal requirements. We have no knowledge of measurements that indicate our vehicles did not meet legally required standards.

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show

Mon, Nov 17 2014

Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? – and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
