This 13 window YWCA Kombi is unique because it is believed to be the only
VW Bus that was actually used to transport the young women around in Augusta
Georgia In the mid 60s . The Young Women Christian Assoc was only open for a few
years I have heard, then only the YMCA was open and still exist today.
I dont know if it was sold by Colman motors but I do have the original ID
card with the bus that was used when it was serviced at the dealership. A copy
of it will be shown in the listing but I do have the real plastic card which is
very legible with this buses serial number on it.
This bus like many had bad floors which have been replaced. They will need
welded in better but they are very strong and I have driven this bus to many
local shows. There is a lot of patina on the bus but the worst rot is only on
the passengers side rear corner.
This bus needs someone in the know of how to bring it back without spoiling
the histotical logos that were painted on the bus back then. I have no idea how to even begin fixing
this kombi and keeping the existing patina so I am putting it on here hoping
someone will buy it and fix it the way it should be done.
A guy at one of the local VW shows was excited to see this bus and wanted a
picture beside it saying he worked at Colman motors in 1965 and has worked on
it.
I have put new wheel cylinders, lines and shoes on it a couple years back
and installed a 1600 duel port motor that runs ok. The steering is tight.
The horn works, signals flash, headlight and taillights work and tires are good. I might still have the original block I will check |

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 Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
