Here is a very rare and desirable Volkswagen bus, It is a real 23 window with the factory safari window option, This bus has taken 2 1/2 years to this point. The colors are the original color of Sealing Wax Red over Chestnut Brown. This bus has been restored under / inside / outside with only a couple items left to finish as of the listing of this ad. Just to help some of you out there understand just how rare this model is, Volkswagen 23 window buses have skyrocketed in price over the last 5 years, a 1956 23 window is one of the rarest among 23 window buses then add in the factory " safari window " option and now you have a very rare collector car. This bus had sat for over 40 years til received it back in 2011, the original brake shoes were still on the bus , it looks like transmission locked up and the previous owner prior to my acquiring it just parked it. Now the vehicle was not a trailer queen when I got it , The original cargo floor is still in the bus with a replacement patch. The front cab floor has been replaced with a floor from another bus . These buses typically need these and other items replaced due to there design flaws, but all is well !!! This bus would qualify as a candidate for a VW Dealership show room floor. You can take it to a show and place a mirror under it to show it off. I think you get my drift. The Wolfsburg for people who do not know is the plant where the bus was produced. Volkswagen manufactured there cars in there early years at Wolfsburg til March-ish 1956. Then they moved production over to there new plant at the time in Hanover. This bus was one of the last buses to be produced at Wolfsburg and having the ultra rare factory safari window option make this a " must have " for any collector. I can go on and on but would be best served by asking any questions. Oh the interior is also being restored to stock being a tan colored interior. I know of 3 other buses for sale of the same year and all are 125,000 to 200,000 if that tells you anything. I can ship worldwide for overseas buyers as I am about 1 hour away from the port of Long Beach, I might also be available to deliver the vehicle to USA buyers also.  

Please note: The bus is at the upholstery shop having the headliner and panels installed by one of Southern California's best. I have included a few photos of what the bus would look like lowered with Porsche alloy wheels the bus currently is all original 

 thanks for looking !!

Volkswagen preparing Tiguan Coupe R

Sat, Aug 15 2015

Volkswagen has might proliferation plans for the SUV side of the VW brand, Autocar listing a range that will comprise seven models and variants on sale by 2018. The next-generation Tiguan will play a large part in tripling VW's crossover lineup, a development discussed a year ago, with a standard model, the three-row long-wheelbase version to be built in Mexico, and a five-door "Coupe" variant that will get an R version worked up by the in-house R team. The Tiguan Coupe R is aimed at the performance end of the compact crossover field, giddyup coming from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with something like 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque that works through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Underpinnings are expected to be cribbed from the Golf R; a hotter suspension tune with a lower ride height and four-mode damping. The sprint to 62 miles per hour would clock in around 5.1 seconds, and handling nous would be aided by all-wheel drive and electronic torque vectoring. It will need all of that in order to catch up to the competitive set listed by Autocar of the 375-hp Mercedes-AMG GLA45, 309-hp Audi RS Q3, and potential Range Rover Evoque SVR and BMW X2 M. The CrossBlue Coupe seen in Shanghai earlier this year will provide the styling cues, we're told, with rakish glass front and back, and thick C-pillars supporting a leaner greenhouse. We'll likely see the basic Tiguan at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, then will come the long-wheelbase in 2016, the regular Coupe in 2017 along with the Touareg and US-built CrossBlue, then in 2018 the Tiguan Coupe R, CrossBlue Coupe, and Nissan Juke-fighting T-Roc.

Jay Leno takes a ride in Gabriel Iglesias' classic 1966 VW bus

Tue, Feb 3 2015

We've seen Jay Leno driving all manner of vehicles, many of them epically fast. But few (this is side of his steamers, anyway) have been as slow – or quite as beautiful – as this classic 1966 Volkswagen Samba. While many of the vehicles featured on episodes of Jay Leno's Garage have actually been from Jay Leno's own garage, the former talk-show host has been known to feature some interesting rides from fellow comedians. A couple of weeks ago it was Adam Carolla's '68 Lamborghini Islero, and this vintage, pristine VW bus belongs to Gabriel Iglesias. It's in beautiful condition and is a sight to see, even if it has a little trouble making its way down the highway. Or starting up again after a quick snack break.

2015 VW e-Golf gets cheaper Limited Editon, starts at $33,450*

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Typically when an automaker announces a new limited edition of one of its models, it comes at a premium. Maybe the extra cost turns out to be worth it due to bundled options, but there's almost always a cost. But not with the new Volkswagen e-Golf Limited Edition. For this model, VW has gone the opposite direction by cutting equipment out of the electric hatchback and charging less for it. Compared to the SEL Premium model, the Limited Edition of the e-Golf drops the alloys in favor of 16-inch steel wheels, halogen headlights in place of LEDs, cloth upholstery instead of leatherette, and drops the heat-pump system. As a result, the e-Golf costs $2,000 less, priced at $33,450 (*before delivery) and available to lease for $229 per month. For that, you still get the electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque, 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and 7.2 kW onboard charger and class-leading energy consumption. VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES A NEW TRIM LINE FOR THE FULLY-ELECTRIC 2015 e-GOLF - e-Golf Limited Edition model goes on sale with a starting price of $33,450 - Drivetrain consists of 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and an electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque; 7.2 kW onboard charger is standard - Standard fast charging capability allows up to 80 percent battery charge in 30 minutes - EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 116 combined MPGe puts e-Golf at top of the 2015 EPA Compact Size Class - A great value, with a host of features that include KESSY® Keyless access with push-button start, navigation system, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with C-shaped light signature, and more Herndon, VA – Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced that a lower-priced version of the fully-electric 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf will go on sale at participating dealerships. The 2015 e-Golf Limited Edition is priced nearly $2,000 less than its SEL counterpart at $33,450, without compromising performance, quality, or versatility. The e-Golf Limited Edition is also available at a monthly lease price of $229, plus applicable fees. The e-Golf Limited Edition is built on the same sporty Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform as the rest of the award-winning Golf family. It is powered by a compact electric motor and a 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery (built in-house at the Volkswagen facility in Braunschweig, Germany), and offers 115 horsepower and class-leading torque of 199 pound feet.
