Ok, Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Volkswagen History. I bought this from the Original Owner. It sat in a garage in Mcminville Oregon for years. It served the owner very well through out the years, until it was parked, due to Brake issues. It was bought new @ Koch Motor's and I have the Original Dealer licence plate Frame, as well as the Original Oregon Plates, that were issued to it when the Original owner bought it.
When I purchased it...It had sat for quite a while. It needed some rust repair in the front floor, as well as the rear cargo floor. I bought and installed a Gerson complete front floor. It still could use some rust repair, but nothing too crazy really. You can enjoy it right now and do it as time allows, as I have done. It will come with the Original Title from 1968 when it was paid off, Original Keys, Original Owners manual, warranty booklet, receipt's, Selling Dealers Warranty looking credit card with the vehicle and owners info on it, which is a pretty cool thing that is usually missing. It has the Original Engine and Original Big but Transmission. This bus runs and drives great! Here is a List of what I have done to make it Road Worthy:
New Shocks and new Link Pins
New Master Cylinder
New Wheel Cylinders
New Shoes and I had the drums turned
New soft Brake lines up front
Full Tune up on Original Engine
New Battery and Fuel Line from Tank to pump to carb, as well as a new fuel filter.
New Tires with fresh Powdercoated wheels
Lubed all Zerk Fittings
It is a Walk Thru Model, which is more desirable to most and has all of the Original Seats and they are in Excellent Condition. The Middle seat Upholstery could be stitched up. Both Original Floor mats are Intact. Has long interior panel but missing other Interior panels. Has the Spare Tire in back, as well as the Original Spare Tire cover. Overall, it is hard to find a bus as complete as this one is and it is even harder to find one in this condition.
Overseas Buyers are Welcome to bid and There is the Port of oakland, which is 100 miles from me, so not too far.
* NOTE: My Personalized California Licence plate and Frame are not included in this sale. It will come with the Original Oregon plates and Original Selling Dealer's Frame.

Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
