1968 Vw Bus With Sundial Conversion on 2040-cars
Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States
|
A Factory Original Sundial! Almost everything on this vehicle is from the factory or Sundial. All of the interior, paint, windows, trim, engine, transmission and even the spare tire is original. This bus has only had two owners and stored in a garage for its entirety. This beauty has been meticulously maintained over its lifetime and now it is time to pass it on to someone who can continue to do the same. I have most maintenance records from the first oil change to the original owner's manual and dealership brochures.
EXTERIOR: There is some body damage that was done years ago. The sliding door was backed into in New Mexico in 1978, I believe. There is a "kink" in the door but it still slides, latches and seals. The left rear quarter panel hit a trash can in Washington in the late 80's. The repair that was done is fine but they had a hard time matching the paint. The brakes, shocks and bearings will need to be done soon but are still in drivable condition. I just installed brand new tires, spark plugs and performed an oil change. The body is rust free. All of the door locks work and are keyed the same as the ignition. The lights, seals and windshield wipers are in excellent condition. And the glass is in great shape and, I believe, factory original. INTERIOR: There are a few flaws in the interior. There is a small 1/2" tear in the headliner and the "vinyl" on the firewall is starting to de-lam. Other than that, the interior is perfect. The dash is rot free with fully working controls, the wood in the camper is in good shape and the floor has been covered since the early 70's. The pump for the sink works. I even have the factory jack! All of the decals that came from the factory are still in place. This 46 year old VW that has less than 100,000 miles on it and has been to every state in the continental U.S. except two! On Apr-29-14 at 08:54:49 PDT, seller added the following information: Addendum 4/29/14 - Upon closer inspection, there is a slight gap in the upper left corner of the sliding door when closed. It does fully close and latch, but is not completely sealed. There is also an oil drip, but no major leaks. The carburetor was just rebuilt and the bus has its original oil-bath aircleaner. |

Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]
Tue, 31 Dec 2013Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
