Here is your chance to own a true honest clean Original 1969 Vw Deluxe transporter . This Bus 100% unrestored completely Original !! It was purchased from and elderly gentleman in the dry desert area of Washington state . From the story I got with the bus is the previous owner, owned for many years he had gotten to the age where he could drive any longer and parked the bus in 2003 , I bought and it was in running and driving condition . But after things sit for any period of time , Its always best to go thru and check things out . Since the bus was in such amazing condition anyway . I decided to go thru the braking system , replacing wheel cyl.,master ,rubber lines and brakes shoes . I had the motor removed and new seals installed , with new clutch , exhaust , battery , new fuel lines . Basically what is would take to make a daily driver .
The motor is a 1600cc single port , which appears to have been rebuild or was a replacement motor at some point over the buses lifetime . The transmission had new fluids , and shifts smoothly as is should . All the electrical system works perfect . even the horn .
Body condition on this bus is amazing . NO Rust in rockers , inner wheel wells . the is a little bit under the battery but very minor . The only other traces of rust are some surface rust on the front floors . Driver side front floor has a couple little thin spots and a few pin holes , But still a very solid bus for its age .
The paint is amazing 100% Original Paint !! No accidents , No bodywork , No welding on the body at all ever ! Its all factory and for a 44 year old vehicle is truly awesome !!
The interior is also completely Original , With the exception of the front seats being redone in the original style upholstery . This Bus Comes with the new roof rack and Brand new 195/75/14 tires .
The Bus has character sporting its factory paint , yes it has a few rock chips, scratches , a little door ding or two . But it shines like the day it left the factory 44 years ago . The paint underneath this bus is even good . The underside is so dry and nice , Its almost unbelievable !!
I have to say it again , This is an all original unrestored bus .. And many will say its only Original Once .. and as classic cars are being restored everyday . Its much harder to find something in this condition ..

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
