1956 Vw 23 Window Deluxe Show Bus Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Winchester, California, United States
|
Here is a very rare and desirable Volkswagen bus, It is a real 23 window with the factory safari window option, This bus has taken 2 1/2 years to this point. The colors are the original color of Sealing Wax Red over Chestnut Brown. This bus has been restored under / inside / outside with only a couple items left to finish as of the listing of this ad. Just to help some of you out there understand just how rare this model is, Volkswagen 23 window buses have skyrocketed in price over the last 5 years, a 1956 23 window is one of the rarest among 23 window buses then add in the factory " safari window " option and now you have a very rare collector car. This bus had sat for over 40 years til received it back in 2011, the original brake shoes were still on the bus , it looks like transmission locked up and the previous owner prior to my acquiring it just parked it. Now the vehicle was not a trailer queen when I got it , The original cargo floor is still in the bus with a replacement patch. The front cab floor has been replaced with a floor from another bus . These buses typically need these and other items replaced due to there design flaws, but all is well !!! This bus would qualify as a candidate for a VW Dealership show room floor. You can take it to a show and place a mirror under it to show it off. I think you get my drift. The Wolfsburg for people who do not know is the plant where the bus was produced. Volkswagen manufactured there cars in there early years at Wolfsburg til March-ish 1956. Then they moved production over to there new plant at the time in Hanover. This bus was one of the last buses to be produced at Wolfsburg and having the ultra rare factory safari window option make this a " must have " for any collector. I can go on and on but would be best served by asking any questions. Oh the interior is also being restored to stock being a tan colored interior. I know of 3 other buses for sale of the same year and all are 125,000 to 200,000 if that tells you anything. I can ship worldwide for overseas buyers as I am about 1 hour away from the port of Long Beach, I might also be available to deliver the vehicle to USA buyers also. Please note: The bus is at the upholstery shop having the headliner and panels installed by one of Southern California's best. I have included a few photos of what the bus would look like lowered with Porsche alloy wheels the bus currently is all original thanks for looking !! |

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
