This is a 1960 walk thru Mango bus that has had most all of the lower metal work replaced and the paint touched up very nicely to match the original color .The bus has a later beetle motor that runs strong and the bus drives and stops as is . I have a link to many pics of the different metal work which is all very well done as far as the body goes it is very solid . The doors still need a lot of work , The drivers door frame is very rusty I think it needs to be replaced or maybe use this skin on another frame. There are two passenger doors the one on the bus now is ok but has dings but matches the bus . The two side doors both need work the inside top of the rear side door is very rusty . The hatch door has had some welding and is in OK shape but still needs some work .

The body has dings and a lot of surface rust on the upper parts but it is solid and has been treated with something to treat and stop further rust , IT IS NOT CRUSTY IT IS SOLID ONLY A COUPLE SMALL PIN HOLES . I have most window parts but missing a vent window and a couple side windows the glass is busted . The Passenger back corner was dented but has been dollied back out fairly smooth and the lower bottom corner is new metal but has not been Painted it has just surface rust . The long outter rocker has been welded but no bondo was put there just the welding smoothed and the touchup paint so its a little wavy but again it matches the look of the bus.The nice fellow I bought the bus from did all the work and had on planned on leaving it pretty much as is as far as the paint goes which it does look cool or you could touch up as much of the rusty parts as you wanted but I would try to keep it an original paint mango bus.

I only have the drivers seat back frame no other seat parts. The bus does shift but it needs all new shift bushings but all gears work. The brakes do work fine and has had some brake work you can see in the pics. The wiring looks like it will work but most has not been tried out . It does have a very beat up back bumper. Some of the underside needs to be rust treated and painted but all the rusty metal has been replaced. The Bus will start , drive and stop but needs work still to be a driver . This is a cool bus . I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE IT ONLY COMES WITH A BILL OF SALE IT HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD IN MANY YEARS . This may still be a long thread on the Samba about all the work done to this bus with many details about the work .

Price is firm if interested you can call if you like 850 264-5395 BILL in tallahassee

VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success

Tue, Mar 25 2014

Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.

Car Club USA travels back to Englishtown Raceway Park for Waterfest, a celebration of water-cooled Audi and Volkswagen cars. We catch up with a pair of VW autocross contestants racing for top prize, and a young Audi owner hoping to win best in show for the Garden State Euros car club. "It's massive," explained Garden State Euro's Ryan Topken. "You have tons of vendors, tons of events going on. There's the show. There's the drag strip. There's autocross." "It's pretty much like a frat party for Volkswagens," added fellow club member Carlin Belkowski. Will the guys from Garden State Euros head home with any hardware?
