“KNOW THE STORY, SHARE THE DREAM, GET INVOLVED”
What you are looking at is a 1969 Volkswagen transporter bus that has been fully restored by EMC in Ventura California.
From the first day this bus came into the shop (March 18th 2013) till now, it has undergone an extensive 1 year full restoration all in the hopes to bring this “one of a kind” vehicle back to life to live again for another 40+ years!
We knew from day one that this bus will need a lot of work, time and commitment to get it to the high level of quality we are aiming for. So what better way to show to the people the transformation this bus received than providing them with HUNDREDS of pictures? So we did! And I mean hundreds of pictures! From day one till now we snapped pictures of all the stages this bus has gone through. You will be truly amazed on how this bus went from 40+ years of age all the way up to dealership quality!
And most of all, the story of this bus goes deeper than “just a restoration” it is my story behind it. I truly believe that the person interested in this bus is not just “buying” the vehicle; but rather you are knowing my story, believing my dream and getting involved. Let’s share this adventure together.
Upon purchase of the vehicle you will receive a complimentary RESTORATION portfolio!

THE RESTORATION
“We have touched, refurbished,
restored, replaced, examined everything on this bus”
BODYWORK-
Started with stripping the complete
exterior, then cutting out all visible cancer and then was repaired with all original German metal. All body
work done in metal with hammer and dolly, NO bondo was used, and any found on
the vehicle was removed, minimal glaze was used to even the surface area after
hammer and dolly work, then was sealed. High build primer was applied, sanded,
and prepared for paint.
PAINT-
A gallon of single stage off white paint was applied
in multiple coats on the top half and the complete interior of the bus then a gallon of beryl green was applied in multiple coats on the
bottom half and into the engine compartment, then the exterior was color sanded
and polished to give a long lasting shine. The engine compartment was finished
off in black.
The rims were stripped to bare metal
and painted to a durable shine with the same color applied to the bumpers. Then
the complete under carriage including fender wells were prepped and painted
with black under carriage spray to preserve and prevent rust and protect from gravel
damage.
INTERIOR-
After the complete interior was
removed all surface areas were prepped, and had a generous coat applied of rust
converting and encapsulating black paint called POR 15.
Upholstery- the original upholstery
material was removed from the frames and then the metal was prepped and coated
with POR 15, reupholstered with high grade durable vinyl and tweed. A new vinyl
headliner was installed of the original color and pattern. All new panels were
purchased and wrapped to match the unique style of the seats.
ALL factory floor mats were replaced
with NEW rubber copies of the original to provide original feel and durability.
All vent windows were rebuilt to achieve original functionality and were
reinstalled with high quality German seals.
Window regulators were cleaned and greased
to provide smooth travel. Interior lights, handles, and cranks were replaced
with quality reproductions to give the original feel and look.
EXTERIOR-
Fresh set of new tires p195/75R14
polished original deluxe trim, original glass, and every window and door seals replaced
with brand new German seals. NEW windshield, original side glass, new stainless
steel side mirrors, new head light rings, new VW emblems. Rebuild all vent
windows.
DRIVETRAIN-
We started by stripping the 1600 engine down to the bare block. Took all the engine tins and stripped them down to bare metal and then did any needed repairs, sprayed them completely with the factor style black paint. The engine checked for tolerances then reassembled with new pistons, and barrels. The heads were machined and had all the parts restored or replaced with high quality replacement parts. The engine was reassembled with a real German gasket kit. The original carburetor and the distributor were rebuilt. A new and complete clutch system was installed. The transmission had the fluid removed, tolerances checked, and then rebuild gasket kit was installed. All new brake parts were installed.
DISCLAIMER- Actual mileage is unknown. The mileage listed is what was read off the guage that was in the vehicle when the restoration ended. The bus is sold as is and has no warranty. If any issues come up with this bus within the first 30 days and is located within 200 miles of my location Ventura, Ca I will be happy to come and help resolve them.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Skoda plans big investment into electric cars as part of rebound effort
Wed, Mar 24 2021PRAGUE — Czech carmaker Skoda, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Wednesday it would invest around 2.5 billion euros over the next five years on future technologies, with more than half going to electric vehicle investment. The Czech Republic's largest exporter is hoping for a rebound in 2021 from a global car sales drop but faces uncertainty over the coronavirus pandemic and a semiconductor shortage rattling the industry. "This year is likely to be another big challenge," finance director Klaus-Dieter Schuermann said. "We expect Skoda Auto's group performance to improve, with sales revenue significantly above the level of last year." Skoda reported on Wednesday a 54.5% drop in 2020 operating to 756 million euros ($894 million). Sales revenue dropped 13.8% to 17.1 billion euros. Global deliveries remained above 1 million cars for a seventh straight year despite a 19% drop after production outages at the outset of the pandemic and a fall in China, its biggest single market. Chief Executive Thomas Shaefer said the car company was managing the semiconductor shortage "but it will follow us for awhile" and the impact was not visible yet. Skoda's core market in Europe would be electric in the future, Shaefer said, although it was still not time to completely switch away from traditional models, which include the launch last year of a new generation of its flagship Octavia model. It has also started production of the all-electric Enyaq iV model, which is a version of Volkswagen's ID.4. Skoda plans investments of 1.4 billion euros into electromobility development as part of its five-year investment plan. Investments will also go into digitalization activities and plant modernization. Related video: Green Volkswagen Skoda Electric
