1969 VW Bus Runs Great and shifts smoothly. I have been driving my wife and kids to camping outings since I purchased it about 3 years ago and at least once a month to work. This has been a really fun and reliable vehicle. It has very little rust, nothing major, and has been kept in the garage.
Maintenance is up to date and has a Marine Hybrid battery less than a year old. It will do 70mph on the highway all day long, It has its' original am/fm radio but it also has an aftermarket hidden am/fm radio by Custom Autosound (it can accomodate a CD changer if you want to add one).
The interior is in good shape and good working order. The headlights have been upgraded to High Intensity Halogen. The weatherstripping is in good condition.
I'm including in the sale the blue canopy, the blue table, a plugin cooler that can also heat, and the one-wheeled Allstate Sears trailer. These retro looking trailers rarely come up for sale and are very sought after. Please don't ask if I will sell trailer separately as it will be sold with bus.
The longest trip we have taken was 4hrs each way but I would not hesitate to drive this bus anywhere.
I have a clear notarized Arizona title in hand, odometer read ~155,000. True miles are unknown and unverifiable. I believe engine was rebuilt by previous owner as it does not burn oil and is too strong to be in original state (I purchased the bus at an auction). I like to be completely honest about what I am selling because I too hate surprises, so here is a list of observations.
1. The vent/heater controls do not have knobs, however the levers are very easy to move.
2. The floors boards had minor rust pitting and small holes which were treated and repaired.
3. The base where the battery sits has rust holes. A very sturdy metal frame battery holder was made to secure battery down.
4. It no longer has the foldaway top cot, but because my kids were always wanting to sleep up there, I made a board and cut some foam to fit and turn the upper area into a bed.
5. One of the large side windows is missing its screen.
6. The windshield wiper solution sprayer does not work. All components are there, but I think the push button is the culprit.
7. There is a very small dent on bottom part of passenger side door.
8.My kids lost my keys and all I could find was the spare ignition key. A key for the doors/hood will need to be made.
A non refundable $500 deposit is required within 2 days of auction's end. I will accept a deposit through pay pal, but balance must be paid via Certified Check, Wire funds, Money Order or Cash with 7 days.
Price does not include shipping. Purchaser must set up own method of shipping but I could drop her off anywhere around town if needed.
This is a 44 year old bus that is a driver and not a trailer queen, so it is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee. It is an excellent running VW bus and its condition is as described. Please ask additional questions if you need more information, I'll be happy to write or call back.
Check my feedback rating and bid with confidence.
if you want pics of something specific that I have not posted, I'd be more than happy to take them and send them to you.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
BTW, I really do hate to sell her (my kids are not going to be happy with me that's for sure) but I need the money, which is why the reserve and Buy it Now price have been set low. If this looks like something you have to have, don't hesitate too long, as I honestly doubt it will last until the end of the auction. With that said, I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
