Front of a '62 Double Cab attached to the long bed of a '59 single cab. Double treasure chests, Safaris front and rear, grafted OG corner glass, walk-thru, new canvas on seat frames, new coconut pads & seat covers from Wolfsburg West, interior panels from Clara, Bakelite Suicide Knob on steering wheel, driver's side rocker needs paint but has been repaired nicely.

KCW adjustable front beam, chrome five star wheels, tires have <600 miles on them, professionally installed Wiring Works custom harness, professionally installed new fuel tank, new German master cylinder, new rear drums, brake pads & hoses all the way around. Shaved front turn signals (have billet signals/wiring for bumpers). Rear & front bumpers w/towel bars included. Brand new seals, WW rubber front mat, big OG stop light for rear. New shocks. Decklid included.

Our summer plans are beginning to gel which do not include many shows or street cruises. We're in the final throws of restoring a pretty neat '71 tin-top bay camper for our daughter. Taking that and our '63 Caravelle camper out camping a lot this summer. This is the only reason we're posting this bus.

Would be a perfect advertising bus, cruiser or special show ride. We're just not going to be doing much of either and I'd be remiss if this bus doesn't get the attention it clearly has earned.

Being an OG geek, I simply do not get this one out much. For those purists out there who are more interested in passing judgement than being cool, please heckle someone else; I fully recognize and accept this bus isn't for everyone. If you don't like the faux-tina, paint it the way you'd prefer.

Happy to drive, or trailer, it to you for a reasonable, and agreed upon, fee. Should have more images over the next couple of days. This bus does need some additional attention, as most busses do, although the vast majority of the work and expense has already been done.

You are undoubtedly intelligent and know the market for busses too, consider what the expense might be to duplicate a unique ride like this one. The welding alone is worth quite a bit, even if you could source a clean double cab front end and clean single cab long end. And OG glass all the way around, with the exception of the front of and rear safaris.

The video on youtube under - '62 VW Double Cab - showcases just a few of the steps taken to finish the Loooong Doka. The video was posted by GetWheelHappy. The motor in the video is not included as it has been installed in our daughter's tin-top bay camper. To say it another way, this bus DOES NOT include a motor. Please also factor this into consideration when you place your bid.

Please know this is a pretty unique bus, one that doesn't hit the market very often. Might be your cup of tea, might not be. Interested in making some changes? That is entirely your decision when you own it. We're more motivated in this bus going to someone who who appreciates, and recognizes, how special it truly is than asking an astronomical figure for the bus.

That being the case, starting the auction at $.99 with NO RESERVE.

Thanks for taking the time to read this auction and good luck with your bidding!

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
