ALL OFFERS CONSIDERED
1960 Mango Bus with Very Nice Original Paint.
The Bus runs and drives very very well. Its very smooth and quiet on the highway. It tracks straight and the brakes work really well. All Lights work as well as the horn.
The motor is a 1600 Single Port and runs very cool, smooth and quiet. I just performed a complete tune up on the motor.
The trans is a straight axle from a 1968 Beetle, and shifts very well, 3rd to 2nd downshift requires some finesse, but otherwise the trans works great.
The Paint on the bus is very nice, very thick original paint with the exception of the passengers side front door and nose. At some point the bus was tapped in the front and a very good repair was executed. The Mango green paint is a very good match, and I don't believe the Seagull grey was resprayed in this area. The front floor in this area was also repaired and smoothed with a little filler.
The interior is one my SO-33 Style Camper Kits. I have completely repaneled the bus with Maple paneling and the cabinets are all Maple. The inside of this Bus shows very well, and is very comfortable to camp in.
It has a stereo system which consists of an aux cable running through a volume knob into 4 channel amp, and out to four component speakers. It sounds really good.
The bus has also received all new window and body seals.
The bus does have rust issues, the rockers on both sides as well as the rear jack points. The rear passenger side corner and the drivers dogleg.
The frame looks rusty in the pics but that is flaking undercoat, it is actually pretty solid with the exception of the jack points, and front crossmember
Overall this bus is an awesome bus, one that can be driven and preserved as is or repaired and have the paint blended to make an amazing original paint bus.
All offers considered please don't be shy.
I am willing to work with international buyers, and will be willing to work with your shipper.
I have a clear florida title in my name.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
