The van still has it's Original Washington plates and clear 1970's title. OG radio. Rare Z bed, I have never seen this option in a deluxe before. The rear seat folds down into a full bed. Only one repaint done in the 90's to its factory original paint code. Beautiful patina. I had my body shop polish out the paint to a amazing finish, Some what rare factory red color. Very dry bus with only minor rust.

Engine- Rebuilt 1600cc with less than 200 miles. Numbers matching, we decided to upgrade to dual port heads for more power. New rods, cam, lifters, main and cam bearings, push rod tubes, heavy duty oil pump, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, oil pressure sensor, valves, 87mm pistons, rebuilt carb, all new fuel and vac lines. The case was line bored, all tins were sand blasted and repainted. Empi header exhaust with new heater boxes. (The heater works great). (The motor was rebuilt by a local VW master mechanic).

Paint/Body- Some what rare factory red. One repaint done in the early 90's. I had the paint professionally polished. The patina on this bus is awesome. Arrow strait body. No signs of ever being in a wreck. Rockers, cargo floor, front floor, dog legs, ect solid. Newer front window gasket.

Interior- The front seats have been recently reupholstered, nice middle and rear seat in excellent condition. Original headliner is in excellent condition, with no rips. Original radio that still has factory warranty card attached as seen in the pictures. The factory Z bed cushion is in good condition. The interior is mostly original and in excellent condition for its age.

Brakes- All new brake system. New master cylinder, shoes and wheel cylinders front and rear, all drums were turned (machined). New soft lines front and rear. I have receipts for all brake work as well.

Other- Newer Hancook tires, brand new spare tire, original manuals and books, the gas gauge works periodically, it will need to be replaced at some point. The new brakes will need to be readjusted after a few hundred miles.

A very nice, dry and original 1969 Deluxe. I like the factory z bed, gives you the best of both worlds, a 8 passenger bus and a camper all in one. Mechanically this van has been mostly gone through. Perfect daily driver.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang – 204 points Hyundai Genesis – 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 – 297 points Chevrolet Colorado – 205 points Lincoln MKC – 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media – magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.

Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?

Fri, 16 May 2014

The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
