Wonderful 1969 Vw Bus

Many Upgrades & New Parts Added to enhance your driving buzz!

I aquired this bus locally in S. Florida. It was originally from California.
The body was in excellent shape for its age. 
This Bus received a full work up from top to bottom.
I will do a rundown of all work performed.
I have driven it for over a year now. All finishing work such as paint and
suspension etc were all performed within a few months ago.

Engine: Engine is original stock 1600 single port.
The engine was rebuilt buy the previous owner.
They did not detail the tins and components but the motor
runs excellent and drips no oil ( if thats possible).
I installed an original bosch vacuum distributor
I also installed a new carb to air cleaner rubber neck.
New Pic 30/31 Solex Oem carb.
The battery is new and the voltage reg is a new bosch.
The engine is correct and the way it was in 69.

The transmission was upgraded with a rebuilt late model trans out of
a late 70's bus. It has a better ring and pinion and it shifts smoother too.
Much better trans than stock.

Suspension: The entire suspension system is new.
Front: New Disc Brakes off of a 72 Bus. New rotors calipers and pads.
New tie rods. New Ball Joints top and bottom. New drag link, New hoses for brakes New snubbers and sway bar bushings, Kyb Shocks. Basically everything was replaced with New.

The Rear: The same with the rear. New Cv Joints, Rebuilt Drum brake system, Kyb Shocks , hoses, etc.

All German parts were used, no chinese stuff.

The Body, A new paint job was added. Premium Primer and Topcoat.
Refinished in Original Montana Red With Cloud White.

Seals:  All New Seals Throughout: All windows, slider, hatch, engine, lenses, etc etc.

The side vent windows were replaced with original VW Sliders Out of a late model bus. Really nice air flow and hard to find.

A New deluxe Trim Kit was added to the perimeter of the belt line.
It's stunning and really sets this bus off.

The glass is in excellent shape on this bus

The entire undercarriage was refinished in the stock grey that was used at the factory. It was also primered.

A Custom original style stereo was added. At the cost of $240. It looks old but went into the stock uncut dash and it has usb and aux hookup with digital display. Super cool. Alpine front speakers and kicker in the rear speakers under the seat set in original seat base plate.

Interior: Way Cool interior custom done by me. Door panels were a new kit covered in a dashiki type print. Original arm rests are still attached.

A 48 star 1930's flag hangs from the ceiling. The original headliner is still there. It is in decent shape but has a couple holes. New hatch covers installed.

New front rubber mat, Original mid section rubber mat is there and in good Shape. A nice multicovered rug is over it.

Very cool spiral beads hang over the walk through entrance way.

The rear seat was recovered in original smurf print material. 

The inside is way cool and really takes you back. The custom Hippy print curtains also set this bus way off.

Back to driving. This bus drives absolutely excellent. It tracks straight at 65 and never lets up. Suspension is better than new and is super reliable turnkey everytime.

I have added 4 new white wall tires, mounted on original 15" Vw rims off an early split window. There is also a spare with original Vw Cover.

The original jack is also included.

All guages work and all functions work too. I installed a custom Tach mounted to the dash. It can be removed and I did not cut anything.

Wipers, all lights, turn signals, hazards, horn, etc etc work properly.

It is really a one of a kind bus and whomever wins will be very happy. No dissapointments here. This bus is everything and more. Many cool upgrades and many many new parts. A lot of time and money was put in to restoring this bus. 
The paint is super smooth and was polished to perfection

Being sold at No Reserve.

Please bid to win and keep on bidding!

Volkswagen names new chief designer for Bentley

Thu, Jun 4 2015

The Volkswagen Group has named one of its own to head up the design department at its Bentley division. The role now falls to Stefan Sielaff, who has been with the group (off and on) since 1990. Sielaff is principally an interior designer, but has been tasked with setting up numerous overall design offices for Volkswagen and Audi over the years. In his new capacity he'll be reporting to the group's chief engineer Rolf Frech (and oddly not to Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer), but at the same time, Sielaff will retain his role as head of interior design for the entire VW group, reporting to its chief designer Walter de Silva. Sielaff replaces Luc Donckerwolke, who has headed up Bentley design since 2012 and is leaving the company. We'll be on the lookout to see where Donckerwolke lands next. Crewe/Wolfsburg, 04 June 2015 Stefan Sielaff to head design at the Bentley brand • Sielaff also responsible for Group Interior Design Strategy Stefan Sielaff (53), currently Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam, will assume responsibility for design at the Bentley brand effective July 1, 2015 in addition to his present post as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy. As Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff succeeds Luc Donckerwolke (49), who held this function since 2012. Stefan Sielaff joined the Volkswagen Group in 1990, beginning his career in the interior design department at Audi. From 1995 the design graduate was entrusted with setting up the Group's Design Center Europe in Spain. In 1997 he was placed in charge of the Design Studio in Munich and was appointed Head of Audi Interior Design in the same year. In 2003 Sielaff moved to DaimlerChrysler as Design Director of the Interior Competence Center, returning to the Volkswagen Group in 2006 to become Head of Audi Design before being appointed Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam und Head of Group Interior Design Strategy in 2012. In his new function as Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff reports to Rolf Frech, Board Member for Engineering. In his function as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy he continues to report to Walter de Silva, Head of Group Design. Luc Donckerwolke has decided to leave the company. De Silva said: "Luc Donckerwolke has played a key role in the design of various Group brands. We would like to thank him for his work."
