I have a great 1970 VW Deluxe Transporter , I purchased from a good friend who is 75 years old . The van had got to the point where is was needing some maintenance and with his age he was feeling like it was time to let it go . I purchased the Van with hopes of having it my daily driver this summer . So I went straight to work on it . I pulled the already good running motor and wanted to reseal it completely . In that process I honed the cylinders and installed new rings . replaced any parts the motor needed .And resealed the entire thing . Including the rear main seal , Installed a new clutch and a different exhaust . The motor is a 1600cc single port , has a brand new generator, and regulator . rebuilt carb. new plugs etc. The transmission is in great shape and shifts smooth and nice as it should . I did a little work on the brakes also . By replacing some wheels cylinders , a brake line and installed new front brake shoes . I also replaced the tires with a new set of 195/75/14 all season radials . For the body condition it has been repainted many , many years ago . But still shines nice and looks good I think . Its in no way perfect and has its bit of character having some chips , a few scratches . and a ding here and there .. But I think its great !! And have way more fun driving an old car that has some character rather than one that's had thousands spend on a new paint job . This bus drives so great its hard to express in words how well it performs . The inside is basically all original , The front seats are in great shape ,as well as the door panels and headliner. The rear seats have some wear and a couple small tears . But nothing a good Mexi Blanket cant cover up .
I Honestly don't want to sell the Bus. Especially after getting all the work done and its driving so good . But I had the opportunity to buy the bus of my dreams recently . And cant keep them all . The Roof Rack and Side step are NOT for sale with the bus . I am using them on my new bus . But for the right price I may include them with the sale ?
If you are looking for a nice solid VW bus that's is ready to drive anywhere now . This is a good one !!

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
