1966 Volkswagen Bus Vw on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States
|
I originally
purchased this bus to do a full restoration on since their value is going up
but due to family obligation I can no longer work on it. Right now the car runs a little rich but I
think it’s the carburetor. Car drives
great and shifts through all gears perfectly fine. I added front door panels but they are not
screwed in. I just recently registered it in California so
it will have a California title. The description
below is from the previous owner.
Ok, Here is
a rare opportunity to own a piece of Volkswagen History. I bought this from the
Original Owner. It sat in a garage in Mcminville Oregon for years. It served the owner very well throughout the
years, until it was parked, due to Brake issues. It was bought new @ Koch
Motor's and I have the Original Dealer licence plate Frame, as well as the
Original Oregon Plates, that were issued to it when the Original owner bought
it.
When I
purchased it...It had sat for quite a while. It needed some rust repair in the
front floor, as well as the rear cargo floor. I bought and installed a Gerson
complete front floor. It still could use some rust repair, but nothing too
crazy really. You can enjoy it right now and do it as time allows, as I have
done. It has the Original Engine and
Original Big but Transmission. This bus runs and drives great! Here is a List
of what I have done to make it Road Worthy:
New Shocks
and new Link Pins New Master
Cylinder New Wheel
Cylinders New Shoes
and I had the drums turned New soft Brake lines up front Full Tune up
on Original Engine New Battery
and Fuel Line from Tank to pump to carb, as well as a new fuel filter. New Tires
with fresh Powdercoated wheels Lubed all
Zerk Fittings
It is a Walk Thru Model, which is more
desirable to most and has all of the Original seats. Both Original Floor mats
are Intact. Has long interior panel but missing other Interior panels. Has the
Spare Tire in back, as well as the Original Spare Tire cover. Overall, it is
hard to find a bus as complete as this one is and it is even harder to find one
in this condition.
This vehicle
is sold as-is with no warranty. Don’t
miss this opportunity to own a piece of VW history. |

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.
Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
