An Original 1965 volkswagen bus deluxe model 21 window with stock sliding rag top, This Bus was purchased in 2009 from the original owners family, This bus is an authentic 21 window , not a modified version, it has the 21 / 23 window pan on the under carage, no other bus has that pan just the 21/23 window models, the pan was manafactured to strengthen and quiet the noise outside, the 21 to 23 window models were a deluxe version primaraly for school or scenic type cruzing, Volkswagen had no idea how valuable they would become 4 decades later, Lou Dog has been a volkswagen enthusiast since his very first 1959 karman ghia european model back in 1974, back in the 90s Lou had been into restoring the oval window bugs, but mostly the split oval windows prior to 1953, the semifores were the coolest, he thought, after loosing one of his child hood friends to a hurendise accident in florida, heading to sebastian inlet, one evening, his buds hit a parked car on I 95 one died another broke his spine which put him in a wheel chair for 22 years, the other walked away, with constant flash backs of that night, that hindered all of our love for volkswagens, Lou was determend to fight that by fixing up bug after bug then to buses , By looking on his web site Lou has restored around 15 to 20 buses, mostly split windows , He knows more about restoring VWs then anyone, and with his close friend Mike Smith, the two of them have restored some pearls,
On Feb-10-13 at 16:38:08 PST, seller added the following information:
Greetings, on request of several bidders, wanted to see the bottom of the bus, so instead of sending everyone thesame photos, I listed 5 more photos, of the under side, that shows the pan that only the 21and 23 window buses came stock with, seeing the photos you can tell that it is an original 21 window, not at all fabricated, Lou would not of bought it if was as fabricated 21 window, the pan is in great condition, he sprayed under coating on the hole bottom to keep rust from starting, plus the pan is not beat up or damaged, good solid pan, any further request let us know, we just want the bus to go to a great home...

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
