This 13 window YWCA Kombi is unique because it is believed to be the only VW Bus that was actually used to transport the young women around in Augusta Georgia In the mid 60s . The Young Women Christian Assoc was only open for a few years I have heard, then only the YMCA was open and still exist today.

I dont know if it was sold by Colman motors but I do have the original ID card with the bus that was used when it was serviced at the dealership. A copy of it will be shown in the listing but I do have the real plastic card which is very legible with this buses serial number on it.

This bus like many had bad floors which have been replaced. They will need welded in better but they are very strong and I have driven this bus to many local shows. There is a lot of patina on the bus but the worst rot is only on the passengers side rear corner.

This bus needs someone in the know of how to bring it back without spoiling the histotical logos that were painted on the bus back then.

I have no idea how to even begin fixing this kombi and keeping the existing patina so I am putting it on here hoping someone will buy it and fix it the way it should be done.

A guy at one of the local VW shows was excited to see this bus and wanted a picture beside it saying he worked at Colman motors in 1965 and has worked on it.

I have put new wheel cylinders, lines and shoes on it a couple years back and installed a 1600 duel port motor that runs ok. The steering is tight.
The horn works, signals flash, headlight and taillights work and tires are good. I might still have the original block I will check

Here is your chance to own this only bus in the world that has such a unique history. Thanks for bidding and good luck, All shipping must be arranged by the buyer. A $500 deposit must be received within 24 hours of the end of the auction by postal money order, wire transfer, or pay pal. I will be posting more pics on a site I will link later

MotorWeek looks back at the 1986.5 VW Scirocco 16V

Wed, Jan 21 2015

It's back to the past with MotorWeek for a video dive into the 1986.5 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V, the coupe that carried the pennant for VW's performance aspirations for 15 years, from 1974 to 1989. This one, the last generation, got the hottest of all by adding a head with four valves per cylinder. The 1.8-liter DOHC engine cranked out "an amazing" 123 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque, and made this model the fastest VW to ever be sold in America; it went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, faster than a Porsche 944. To compare vintage apples to modern ones, the New Scirocco with a 123-hp 1.4-liter TSI engine and a manual transmission takes 9.3 seconds. We like MotorWeek's Retro Review series not only for the cars, but for how they also remind us of what we used to find important in cars. The Scirocco here gets upvoted for its throttle response and handling, downvoted for an oddly placed oil pressure gauge and lack of battery voltage meter. We can't remember the last time a voltage meter was mentioned in a review, either its presence or lack. Check out the video above for what the definition of "US hot hatch" used to be.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
