Seabrook, New Hampshire, United States

Here is a 1960 VW, Bus Double Door Camper. It has been sitting in a barn since 1989 when it was parked because of a bad motor. I bought it from the Older guy that drove it from California in 89. He removed the motor way back then and never got to fixing it or doing anything with the bus. When I bought it the motor was still sitting next to it inside the barn. We loaded it inside before towing it out. The rear California Black plate &  dealer plate surround are not included. The front plate & partial surround is included. This bus was manufactured  Dec. 23rd of 1959.  For a Jan 1960 delivery. It is a 215 model . There are camper windows installed , wood trim & paneling, some cabinet brackets & holes, Awning mounts on both sides of the roof, delivered Grey in color. All this leads to it being an aftermarket camper conversion, NOT a Westfalia Camper. The bus comes just as it is shown. It didn't have any camper interior when I got it. The previous owner says his Aunt & uncle had removed all the interior for more usable space as a van. The miles are 43268 on the odometer , The previous owner thinks they are correct. He acquired the bus from his aunt out on a Farm in California. The engine # that is inside the bus is D 1449943.

The bus is really solid. There are only a few minor areas of rust to deal with. There was an area of the inside cargo floor that was rusted out and some critters made a home inside the belly pans. The critters urine & feces ate through a small area of the belly pan. I cut out the bad section of cargo floor to clean the nest & crap out of there. There is a picture showing this area. The battery tray area is bad, pic also. The pass side front floor section & a small area of the inside dogleg ( see pics). The drivers side rear panel from the cargo door lower hinge back to the rear corner has some dents & rust. I have tons of pictures but, I can only load 24. I have a few videos of me going along under the bus with a hammer hitting all over the place to show how solid it is. If you are seriously interested , get me your email and I'll send you all the additional pics & vids. This bus rolls easy, Parking brake works, tires hold air. You could be driving this with minimal work while you pick away at it or do a full resto. Sky's the limit....

This bus being a 215 Model Double Door Panel , MAKES it pretty rare. I don't really want to sell it but , I have way to many Other projects & vehicles and I wouldn't get to this for a long time. I think my reserve is very fair for this bus. If you are serious about making a Buy it Now offer , Then go ahead and shoot me a message. I AM WELL AWARE  OF WHAT THE MARKET IS ON THESE VW's ! I have also had many vehicles come & go from all over the world. So, rest assured this would be a smooth transaction for you. I will be around for assistance, loading for transport. This is also being offered locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking & good luck bidding !!!! NH DOESN'T title vehicles over 15 years old. This will come with a current reg. & a Bill of sale. You can verify this on the NH RMV website. I have sold many, many vehicles like this and There have been no issues for the buyers.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
