An Original 1965 volkswagen bus deluxe model 21 window with stock sliding rag top, This Bus was purchased in 2009 from the original owners family, This bus is an authentic 21 window , not a modified version, it has the 21 / 23 window pan on the under carage, no other bus has that pan just the 21/23 window models, the pan was manafactured to strengthen and quiet the noise outside, the 21 to 23 window models were a deluxe version primaraly for school or scenic type cruzing, Volkswagen had no idea how valuable they would become 4 decades later, Lou Dog has been a volkswagen enthusiast since his very first 1959 karman ghia european model back in 1974, back in the 90s Lou had been into restoring the oval window bugs, but mostly the split oval windows prior to 1953, the semifores were the coolest, he thought, after loosing one of his child hood friends to a hurendise accident in florida, heading to sebastian inlet, one evening, his buds hit a parked car on I 95 one died another broke his spine which put him in a wheel chair for 22 years, the other walked away, with constant flash backs of that night, that hindered all of our love for volkswagens, Lou was determend to fight that by fixing up bug after bug then to buses , By looking on his web site Lou has restored around 15 to 20 buses, mostly split windows , He knows more about restoring VWs then anyone, and with his close friend Mike Smith, the two of them have restored some pearls,
On Feb-10-13 at 16:38:08 PST, seller added the following information:
Greetings, on request of several bidders, wanted to see the bottom of the bus, so instead of sending everyone thesame photos, I listed 5 more photos, of the under side, that shows the pan that only the 21and 23 window buses came stock with, seeing the photos you can tell that it is an original 21 window, not at all fabricated, Lou would not of bought it if was as fabricated 21 window, the pan is in great condition, he sprayed under coating on the hole bottom to keep rust from starting, plus the pan is not beat up or damaged, good solid pan, any further request let us know, we just want the bus to go to a great home...

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
