1960 Volkswagen Bus Single Cab. Very Solid, Straight, And Rust Free. on 2040-cars

I have an awesome 1960 survivor single cab. This was recently purchased from the second owner who had it since 1965! Always in the high desert so virtuality rust free. Even the battery tray is not rusted. Hard to find a bus this nice. It's been resprayed once from what I was told. The owner did a complete restoration on it like a decade ago and just let it sit ever since. Motor runs smoothe, tranny shifts nice, and brakes feel like new. New wiring harness and rubber throughout. Interior was refurbished with black vinyl seat and door/kick panels and new rubber mat. The cardboard panels above are sagging slightly but were new. The body is unbelievable. If you look underneath its as rust free and straight as they come. Looks to me like all original metal underneath and nothing needs replacing. The gates are beautiful and bed has been used and has dents and dings but not bad. Drives nice and turns heads. You can pay less for one but will pay alot more in the long run. Has new shocks and battery. Needs new tires. They hold air and I have driven around on them, but they need replacing from dry rot.
The drivers side rear bottom corner was replaced when restored, but done right. The rear apron should probably be replaced. There is a little wrinkling on the left engine compartment metal (see in photos). And there is one spot of isolated rust right under the driver door behind the wheel well.(in photos) This is a very common area for busses and just needs a small patch or leave it as is. The metal behind it is completely solid. |

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
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.
