Ok, Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Volkswagen History. I bought this from the Original Owner. It sat in a garage in Mcminville Oregon for years. It served the owner very well through out the years, until it was parked, due to Brake issues. It was bought new @ Koch Motor's and I have the Original Dealer licence plate Frame, as well as the Original Oregon Plates, that were issued to it when the Original owner bought it.
When I purchased it...It had sat for quite a while. It needed some rust repair in the front floor, as well as the rear cargo floor. I bought and installed a Gerson complete front floor. It still could use some rust repair, but nothing too crazy really. You can enjoy it right now and do it as time allows, as I have done. It will come with the Original Title from 1968 when it was paid off, Original Keys, Original Owners manual, warranty booklet, receipt's, Selling Dealers Warranty looking credit card with the vehicle and owners info on it, which is a pretty cool thing that is usually missing. It has the Original Engine and Original Big but Transmission. This bus runs and drives great! Here is a List of what I have done to make it Road Worthy:
New Shocks and new Link Pins
New Master Cylinder
New Wheel Cylinders
New Shoes and I had the drums turned
New soft Brake lines up front
Full Tune up on Original Engine
New Battery and Fuel Line from Tank to pump to carb, as well as a new fuel filter.
New Tires with fresh Powdercoated wheels
Lubed all Zerk Fittings
It is a Walk Thru Model, which is more desirable to most and has all of the Original Seats and they are in Excellent Condition. The Middle seat Upholstery could be stitched up. Both Original Floor mats are Intact. Has long interior panel but missing other Interior panels. Has the Spare Tire in back, as well as the Original Spare Tire cover. Overall, it is hard to find a bus as complete as this one is and it is even harder to find one in this condition.
Overseas Buyers are Welcome to bid and There is the Port of oakland, which is 100 miles from me, so not too far.
* NOTE: My Personalized California Licence plate and Frame are not included in this sale. It will come with the Original Oregon plates and Original Selling Dealer's Frame.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
