1966 Kombi with awesome Original paint. Needs work to make road worth, it has been off the road for sometime. The bus has a clear Arizona title signed by the previous owner. It was original delivered to San Francisco as a Kombi, it was then converted to a camper before it left California. Sometime later it was turned back into a Kombi and the camper interior was done away with. The bus is pretty bare at this point and missing odds and ends, although it does come with the correct front and rear seat frames. It has some rust coming through the passenger rocker (see pic), the edge of the cargo floor, and it will need a battery tray. The bus has already had aftermarket safaris installed along with a new front floor, both were match painted and blended to match the rest of the bus. The bus does have some roof damage above the cargo doors from a tree branch falling on it, it will come with a core motor (cond. unknown), a rebuilt transmission (AZ. Transmissions) center section from a bug that was set up for a reduction box trans (412 R/P, .82 4th, welded 3rd and 4th, super diff, heavy duty side plate, and axle tube retainers). However, the ring gear can be flipped if you would like to use it for a straight axle conversion. I was originally going to buff the paint out, get the bus running, and keep it the way it is, but my priorities have changed and I am going after something else. The bus is a roller at this point and will need to be towed.

Will accept lower offers without rack and ladder.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members. Click on over to view the extensive gallery of high-quality images from Ran When Parked.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
