“KNOW THE STORY, SHARE THE DREAM, GET INVOLVED”

What you are looking at is a 1969 Volkswagen transporter bus that has been fully restored by EMC in Ventura California.

From the first day this bus came into the shop (March 18^th 2013) till now, it has undergone an extensive 1 year full restoration all in the hopes to bring this “one of a kind” vehicle back to life to live again for another 40+ years!

We knew from day one that this bus will need a lot of work, time and commitment to get it to the high level of quality we are aiming for. So what better way to show to the people the transformation this bus received than providing them with HUNDREDS of pictures? So we did! And I mean hundreds of pictures! From day one till now we snapped pictures of all the stages this bus has gone through. You will be truly amazed on how this bus went from 40+ years of age all the way up to dealership quality!

And most of all, the story of this bus goes deeper than “just a restoration” it is my story behind it. I truly believe that the person interested in this bus is not just “buying” the vehicle; but rather you are knowing my story, believing my dream and getting involved. Let’s share this adventure together.

Upon purchase of the vehicle you will receive a complimentary RESTORATION portfolio!

THE RESTORATION

“We have touched, refurbished, restored, replaced, examined everything on this bus”

BODYWORK-

Started with stripping the complete exterior, then cutting out all visible cancer and then was repaired with all original German metal. All body work done in metal with hammer and dolly, NO bondo was used, and any found on the vehicle was removed, minimal glaze was used to even the surface area after hammer and dolly work, then was sealed. High build primer was applied, sanded, and prepared for paint.

PAINT-

A gallon of single stage off white paint was applied in multiple coats on the top half and the complete interior of the bus then a gallon of beryl green was applied in multiple coats on the bottom half and into the engine compartment, then the exterior was color sanded and polished to give a long lasting shine. The engine compartment was finished off in black.

The rims were stripped to bare metal and painted to a durable shine with the same color applied to the bumpers. Then the complete under carriage including fender wells were prepped and painted with black under carriage spray to preserve and prevent rust and protect from gravel damage.

INTERIOR-

After the complete interior was removed all surface areas were prepped, and had a generous coat applied of rust converting and encapsulating black paint called POR 15.

Upholstery- the original upholstery material was removed from the frames and then the metal was prepped and coated with POR 15, reupholstered with high grade durable vinyl and tweed. A new vinyl headliner was installed of the original color and pattern. All new panels were purchased and wrapped to match the unique style of the seats.

ALL factory floor mats were replaced with NEW rubber copies of the original to provide original feel and durability. All vent windows were rebuilt to achieve original functionality and were reinstalled with high quality German seals.

Window regulators were cleaned and greased to provide smooth travel. Interior lights, handles, and cranks were replaced with quality reproductions to give the original feel and look.

EXTERIOR-

Fresh set of new tires p195/75R14 polished original deluxe trim, original glass, and every window and door seals replaced with brand new German seals. NEW windshield, original side glass, new stainless steel side mirrors, new head light rings, new VW emblems. Rebuild all vent windows.

DRIVETRAIN-

We started by stripping the 1600 engine down to the bare block. Took all the engine tins and stripped them down to bare metal and then did any needed repairs, sprayed them completely with the factor style black paint. The engine checked for tolerances then reassembled with new pistons, and barrels. The heads were machined and had all the parts restored or replaced with high quality replacement parts. The engine was reassembled with a real German gasket kit. The original carburetor and the distributor were rebuilt. A new and complete clutch system was installed. The transmission had the fluid removed, tolerances checked, and then rebuild gasket kit was installed. All new brake parts were installed.

DISCLAIMER-

Actual mileage is unknown. The mileage listed is what was read off the guage that was in the vehicle when the restoration ended. The bus is sold as is and has no warranty. If any issues come up with this bus within the first 30 days and is located within 200 miles of my location Ventura, Ca I will be happy to come and help resolve them.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
