1969 VW Bus Runs Great and shifts smoothly. I have been driving my wife and kids to camping outings since I purchased it about 3 years ago and at least once a month to work. This has been a really fun and reliable vehicle. It has very little rust, nothing major, and has been kept in the garage.
Maintenance is up to date and has a Marine Hybrid battery less than a year old. It will do 70mph on the highway all day long, It has its' original am/fm radio but it also has an aftermarket hidden am/fm radio by Custom Autosound (it can accomodate a CD changer if you want to add one).
The interior is in good shape and good working order. The headlights have been upgraded to High Intensity Halogen. The weatherstripping is in good condition.
I'm including in the sale the blue canopy, the blue table, a plugin cooler that can also heat, and the one-wheeled Allstate Sears trailer. These retro looking trailers rarely come up for sale and are very sought after. Please don't ask if I will sell trailer separately as it will be sold with bus.
The longest trip we have taken was 4hrs each way but I would not hesitate to drive this bus anywhere.
I have a clear notarized Arizona title in hand, odometer read ~155,000. True miles are unknown and unverifiable. I believe engine was rebuilt by previous owner as it does not burn oil and is too strong to be in original state (I purchased the bus at an auction). I like to be completely honest about what I am selling because I too hate surprises, so here is a list of observations.
1. The vent/heater controls do not have knobs, however the levers are very easy to move.
2. The floors boards had minor rust pitting and small holes which were treated and repaired.
3. The base where the battery sits has rust holes. A very sturdy metal frame battery holder was made to secure battery down.
4. It no longer has the foldaway top cot, but because my kids were always wanting to sleep up there, I made a board and cut some foam to fit and turn the upper area into a bed.
5. One of the large side windows is missing its screen.
6. The windshield wiper solution sprayer does not work. All components are there, but I think the push button is the culprit.
7. There is a very small dent on bottom part of passenger side door.
8.My kids lost my keys and all I could find was the spare ignition key. A key for the doors/hood will need to be made.
A non refundable $500 deposit is required within 2 days of auction's end. I will accept a deposit through pay pal, but balance must be paid via Certified Check, Wire funds, Money Order or Cash with 7 days.
Price does not include shipping. Purchaser must set up own method of shipping but I could drop her off anywhere around town if needed.
This is a 44 year old bus that is a driver and not a trailer queen, so it is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee. It is an excellent running VW bus and its condition is as described. Please ask additional questions if you need more information, I'll be happy to write or call back.
Check my feedback rating and bid with confidence.
if you want pics of something specific that I have not posted, I'd be more than happy to take them and send them to you.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
BTW, I really do hate to sell her (my kids are not going to be happy with me that's for sure) but I need the money, which is why the reserve and Buy it Now price have been set low. If this looks like something you have to have, don't hesitate too long, as I honestly doubt it will last until the end of the auction. With that said, I reserve the right to end the auction early.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
