Here is your chance to own a true honest clean Original 1969 Vw Deluxe transporter . This Bus 100% unrestored completely Original !! It was purchased from and elderly gentleman in the dry desert area of Washington state . From the story I got with the bus is the previous owner, owned for many years he had gotten to the age where he could drive any longer and parked the bus in 2003 , I bought and it was in running and driving condition . But after things sit for any period of time , Its always best to go thru and check things out . Since the bus was in such amazing condition anyway . I decided to go thru the braking system , replacing wheel cyl.,master ,rubber lines and brakes shoes . I had the motor removed and new seals installed , with new clutch , exhaust , battery , new fuel lines . Basically what is would take to make a daily driver .
The motor is a 1600cc single port , which appears to have been rebuild or was a replacement motor at some point over the buses lifetime . The transmission had new fluids , and shifts smoothly as is should . All the electrical system works perfect . even the horn .
Body condition on this bus is amazing . NO Rust in rockers , inner wheel wells . the is a little bit under the battery but very minor . The only other traces of rust are some surface rust on the front floors . Driver side front floor has a couple little thin spots and a few pin holes , But still a very solid bus for its age .
The paint is amazing 100% Original Paint !! No accidents , No bodywork , No welding on the body at all ever ! Its all factory and for a 44 year old vehicle is truly awesome !!
The interior is also completely Original , With the exception of the front seats being redone in the original style upholstery . This Bus Comes with the new roof rack and Brand new 195/75/14 tires .
The Bus has character sporting its factory paint , yes it has a few rock chips, scratches , a little door ding or two . But it shines like the day it left the factory 44 years ago . The paint underneath this bus is even good . The underside is so dry and nice , Its almost unbelievable !!
I have to say it again , This is an all original unrestored bus .. And many will say its only Original Once .. and as classic cars are being restored everyday . Its much harder to find something in this condition ..

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
