“KNOW THE STORY, SHARE THE DREAM, GET INVOLVED”
What you are looking at is a 1969 Volkswagen transporter bus that has been fully restored by EMC in Ventura California.
From the first day this bus came into the shop (March 18th 2013) till now, it has undergone an extensive 1 year full restoration all in the hopes to bring this “one of a kind” vehicle back to life to live again for another 40+ years!
We knew from day one that this bus will need a lot of work, time and commitment to get it to the high level of quality we are aiming for. So what better way to show to the people the transformation this bus received than providing them with HUNDREDS of pictures? So we did! And I mean hundreds of pictures! From day one till now we snapped pictures of all the stages this bus has gone through. You will be truly amazed on how this bus went from 40+ years of age all the way up to dealership quality!
And most of all, the story of this bus goes deeper than “just a restoration” it is my story behind it. I truly believe that the person interested in this bus is not just “buying” the vehicle; but rather you are knowing my story, believing my dream and getting involved. Let’s share this adventure together.
Upon purchase of the vehicle you will receive a complimentary RESTORATION portfolio!

THE RESTORATION
“We have touched, refurbished,
restored, replaced, examined everything on this bus”
BODYWORK-
Started with stripping the complete
exterior, then cutting out all visible cancer and then was repaired with all original German metal. All body
work done in metal with hammer and dolly, NO bondo was used, and any found on
the vehicle was removed, minimal glaze was used to even the surface area after
hammer and dolly work, then was sealed. High build primer was applied, sanded,
and prepared for paint.
PAINT-
A gallon of single stage off white paint was applied
in multiple coats on the top half and the complete interior of the bus then a gallon of beryl green was applied in multiple coats on the
bottom half and into the engine compartment, then the exterior was color sanded
and polished to give a long lasting shine. The engine compartment was finished
off in black.
The rims were stripped to bare metal
and painted to a durable shine with the same color applied to the bumpers. Then
the complete under carriage including fender wells were prepped and painted
with black under carriage spray to preserve and prevent rust and protect from gravel
damage.
INTERIOR-
After the complete interior was
removed all surface areas were prepped, and had a generous coat applied of rust
converting and encapsulating black paint called POR 15.
Upholstery- the original upholstery
material was removed from the frames and then the metal was prepped and coated
with POR 15, reupholstered with high grade durable vinyl and tweed. A new vinyl
headliner was installed of the original color and pattern. All new panels were
purchased and wrapped to match the unique style of the seats.
ALL factory floor mats were replaced
with NEW rubber copies of the original to provide original feel and durability.
All vent windows were rebuilt to achieve original functionality and were
reinstalled with high quality German seals.
Window regulators were cleaned and greased
to provide smooth travel. Interior lights, handles, and cranks were replaced
with quality reproductions to give the original feel and look.
EXTERIOR-
Fresh set of new tires p195/75R14
polished original deluxe trim, original glass, and every window and door seals replaced
with brand new German seals. NEW windshield, original side glass, new stainless
steel side mirrors, new head light rings, new VW emblems. Rebuild all vent
windows.
DRIVETRAIN-
We started by stripping the 1600 engine down to the bare block. Took all the engine tins and stripped them down to bare metal and then did any needed repairs, sprayed them completely with the factor style black paint. The engine checked for tolerances then reassembled with new pistons, and barrels. The heads were machined and had all the parts restored or replaced with high quality replacement parts. The engine was reassembled with a real German gasket kit. The original carburetor and the distributor were rebuilt. A new and complete clutch system was installed. The transmission had the fluid removed, tolerances checked, and then rebuild gasket kit was installed. All new brake parts were installed.
DISCLAIMER- Actual mileage is unknown. The mileage listed is what was read off the guage that was in the vehicle when the restoration ended. The bus is sold as is and has no warranty. If any issues come up with this bus within the first 30 days and is located within 200 miles of my location Ventura, Ca I will be happy to come and help resolve them.

Check out the new rundown below with times for topics, and you can follow along after the jump with our Q&A. Thanks for listening!
Autoblog Podcast #366:
Topics:
How VW's hyper-efficient XL1 will influence the next Golf
Mon, 18 Aug 2014In 2007, the European Union mandated fleet average CO2 emissions of 158.7 g/km. For 2015, that figure will drop to 130 g/km, and the target for 2020 is an ambitions 95 g/km. Thanks to some German politicking, that target will be phased in from 2020 to 2024, but it will still apply to 80 percent of passenger cars in that first year. In US miles per gallon, that's the equivalent of going from about 35 mpg to 42 mpg to 57 mpg. The current Volkswagen Golf is rated from 85 g/km of CO2 to 190 g/km depending on model - and zero for the e-Golf, so for the next-generation MkVIII hatch due in 2019, to meet the goal, Volkswagen engineers will need to introduce a bunch of new tricks. According to a report in Autocar, VW be mining its hyper-efficient XL1 for some of them.
Predictions for the next Golf include a variable-compression engine, an electric flywheel and an electric turbo, along with taking greater advantage of coasting. Volkswagen could be getting help from Audi with the electric turbo and variable-compression engine and electric turbo, with Audi already having shown off the former and brand technical boss Ulrich Hackenberg confirming the VW Group is working on the latter. It's possible the flywheel system could also have the mark of The Four Rings: Autocar mentions a British system that Volvo is testing, but the R18 e-tron Quattro racer has been using one for years.
The need for such features is because the company won't be able to net enough future gains from just aerodynamic improvements and advanced materials. As price will be a factor (the regulations are expected to "add hundreds of euros to the cost of building a car"), adding much more aluminum or carbon fiber is an unlikely option. We're told the next generation won't be longer or wider than the current car, and being Europe's most popular model, VW doesn't want to make a big bet on futuristic aero, but the report says the MkVIII will "likely" have "the most aerodynamic treatment yet seen on a production vehicle," the area where lessons learned from the XL1 will truly be seen.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
