1967 Vw 21 Window Sunroof Deluxe Type Ii Bus Volkswagen Samba on 2040-cars
Gainesville, Florida, United States
1967 VOLKSWAGEN 21-WINDOW DELUXE MICROBUS All interior panels are the original, Aero Papyrus
material, which is not available in reproduction form. It still has the
original spare tire cover, though it has a tear. The side kick-panel for the
correct two-thirds middle seat is missing. All the mats, both front and back
rubber mats, as well as the sisal mat in the cargo area are original to the
bus. The fuel gauge, wipers, lights, signals, and flashers work perfectly. The
clock was working until recently (contacts probably just need cleaning). I have
not tried to use the washer bottle, but the setup is all there and in very good
condition. It still has the original 12 volt sticker on the dash. The glass is
all original. The passenger windshield has a “baseball” crack, but the previous
owner was waiting to find a correctly marked replacement. This is a December
'66 bus, so it doesn’t have backup lights and has the ’66-style radio knobs.
Otherwise, it exhibits all the '67, one-year-only, bus characteristics, 12v,
etc. The seats were redone years ago using Lenny Copp, West Coast Classic seat
covers, which are still in very good condition. The pop-outs were removed,
frames resprayed Cumulus White and all new rubber was installed last year. A
fresh single-port 1600 engine was rebuilt and installed by Jeff Leininger of
Jeff's Bug Shop, Houston, in 2006. It currently has approximately 10,000 miles
since the rebuild. It runs very well and has been as reliable as a Swiss watch.
At about the same time, the brakes, master cylinder, drums, wheel bearings, tie
rods, and other suspension components were rebuilt or replaced. It has a fairly
fresh set of tires (fronts 2013, rears 2012). It has a fresh battery, generator
and regulator. The prior owner has driven it, along with his family, to Bulli
Brigade (annual national VW event in St. Petersburg, FL) regularly since 2006,
including last November without incident. The guiding philosophy during my
and the previous owner’s ownership was to leave this bus as untouched and
original as possible, knowing and appreciating that they are only original
ONCE! Except for fixing things as needed to keep the body, interior and running
gear in tip-top shape, that philosophy has been honored. To that end, one could
hop inside and drive anywhere with confidence. This bus will not disappoint!! (Note: Some of the photos do not show the 2/3 middle seat. It was only removed for the photo so it would not obstruct. It IS shown in one photo as it currently installed. This is the proper "1967-only" 2/3 middle seat with the '67-only ashtray on the back of it and IT IS INCLUDED in the sale!)

Therefore, I reserve the right to cancel bids and end this eBay listing early if the vehicle sells through those efforts and the reserve amount has not yet been met. |

An inside look at VW's new California R&D center
Thu, 18 Oct 2012Less than two months ago, the Volkswagen Group opened a new facility in Oxnard, California (about an hour's drive west of Los Angeles). The $27 million investment, touted as Test Center California (TCC), serves as a research and development lab testing emissions for all brands under Volkswagen's umbrella, including its newest member, Porsche. While still not fully operational, we toured the new 64,000-square-foot building last week and had a first-hand opportunity to see just how much work is involved testing engines and meeting increasingly stringent government emissions standards.
Replacing a similar facility established in 1990 in Westlake Village (about 20-minutes east of the new location), our guide explained how Oxnard was chosen for its temperate climate, varied regional terrain for test drives and low altitude. (The area is only a few feet above sea level - a critical parameter when instrument testing emissions.) The new facility is capable of analyzing hundreds of vehicles, prototypes and customer-owned vehicles, annually.
Most interesting to us was the huge stainless steel climate chamber, with a massive four-wheel dynamometer that allows VW to test running vehicles in both scorching desert and freezing climates without ever leaving the building (an Audi Q7 was running in place during our visit). We were also mesmerized by the countless storage tanks and intricate plumbing of chemicals, stored in both liquid and gas states, needed to perform the variety of tests. Lastly, we took a look at Bugatti's service center on the west coast, located completely within the new center. While there were no supercars on site, the facility is equipped with plenty of spare forged wheels (mounted with expensive Michelin PAX tires) and a Veyron-specific repair jig that allows the vehicle to be completely disassembled, if needed. It is a shame that the facility, which set off all of our automotive geek alerts, is closed to the public.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
