Amazingly Rust Free Vw Deluxe Bus 13 Window 15 23 21 Window Clone Straight Samba on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States

Very rare Bus. Excellent bus to do a 21 window clone with. Needs almost NO METAL WORK!!
The Bus has been tapped in the front and rear drivers corner only. Neither will require any metal replacement. Note the front valance has perfect curve and has no damage. It is skin only. Same with the rear corner. All taps with a hammer, no panel replacement. A qualified metal worker with a stud welder can pull these two dents and have them completely repaired in a day. From there notice all absolutely flawless door gaps. You cant find this in 2014. This is here because I knew what this Bus was a dozen years ago when I saved it from its destined to be used at that time. At that time I couldn't believe what I had. It has probably no miles on it, everything is in super nice shape and nothing really shows much use, just a lot of Az sun:) It is a good thing that i got distracted with my a.d.d. on a 21 window. I kept this Bus to clone a 21 with because it is a very perfect Bus. To graft in a top would be simple and this is the nicest framed and bodied Bus that i have ever come across in a deluxe so i have kept it. Lucky for the highest bidder, deluxe roofs are now being reproduced for around $5k, complete!!
And, most of the 21 windows that you've seen in the last few years are cloned copies. 3 of 4 Buses rolling out at famed Wcc are now cloned 21s! This is a very accepted way to have a 21, even M code plates are being reproduced. I am moving on to restore Porsches at a very highly acclaimed shop in S.F. and need to clear my yard. By definition; a barn find. Coming from the backyard of a Vw restoration shop owners personal barn.
I've been rolling in the dirt since before I could drive with rare early Vws and here is one of the best boned Buses that I have ever seen! Cheers! To the details...
The bus comes with no engine. I can supply a core 1600 single port complete engine for $1000. It is complete with all time, exhaust, etc but has locked up and been stored in the elements. Excellent core to start with. It is not original to this Bus but us an excellent core engine as it is complete down to the stock Bus exhaust tip.
Any questions please call me @ 650-863- seven969.
Vehicle is also available locally and has been presented to a group of friends and may sell locally, I may pull the ad and end the auction early in that event.. Please contact me with interest so I know to keep it up.
I have a clear title for the Bus. These are very rare Buses to come by. The last one that I saw anywhere near the condition sold for over 17k. That Bus was rusty and needed over 10k of metal work and a ton of time to be where this Bus is.
This Bus will sell. Be sure to get your bids in early!
Thanks,
Christopher

Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
