1964 Volkswagen Type II 13 Window Deluxe Full Custom Hardtop Tranporter Just off an extensive 3 year cosmetic and mechanical restoration, this bus is resplendent! Finished in it's original colors of sealing wax and beige grey it evokes thoughts of yesteryear. Yet with a completly updated drive train, suspension and braking system it brings it up to more modern driving standards. Making for a much safer and more comfortable cruising experience. Combine that with the one off, full blown, custom hippie inspired interior, replete with top of the line materials and high end audio and video systems and you have one sensational piece of vintage rolling art Starting off with a very solid two owner chassis originally from california and with a clean title, this bus was stripped down to its bare metal bones and found to have very little accident damage and mostly rust free. The original floors and belly pans are in excellent condition. Outriggers, jack points, doglegs, chassis are all rust free and solid. The exterior was sprayed using a ppg base coat clear paint system, including the engine compartment and wheel wells, in the original sealing wax color. All of which was then color sanded and buffed out to give it an amazing shine and depth. The interior was sprayed in the original beige grey throughout and is impeccable. The undercarriage is finished off in grey epoxy. Wolgang stainless steel safari windows were added front and back. Most of the hard to find original trim was either rechromed or polished ensuring a much better fit and finish than aftermarket pieces. Add to this all the original side and cab glass was kept and new rubber seals throughout, to include all the doors as well. Topping off the exterior,literally, is a custom made 5 bow roof rack with beautifully finished wood slats. The interior really must be experienced to fully appreciate the melding of such uncommon things as sewn coffee sacks which make up the headliner, or old barn wood repurposed for the flooring in the rear compartment. An Indian Kantha quilt was used to create the side curtains, while you have serape blanket and faux giraffe inspired coverings on the rear L shaped seat that doubles as a pull out full size bed! The doors, interior walls and toe kick are covered in an embossed paisley leatherette. The high end entertainment system is comprised of an alpine head unit incorporating blue tooth and pandora. A 13 inch drop down monitor, dual arc audio amps, 6 focal speakers and 2 image dynamics subwoofers come together for an impressive audio/visual experience. The chassis and drivetrain was treated to the same level of enthusiasm as the rest of this magnificent creation. Starting in the front with a cb performance 4 inch narrowed and adjustable beam including drop spindles and disc brakes. New tie rods, bushings steering dampener, shocks, hoses, master cylinder, etc. Moving to the rear there is a type 1 transmission with a butcher shop straight axle kit with clearance spring plates. This bus will easily cruise beyond 80 mph with the help of the german cased dual carbed 1776 motor. Professionally assembled with all new parts including crank, cam, oil pump, pistons and cylinders, lifters, bearings, etc. finished off with powder coated engine tins. The electrical system has been brought up to modern 12 volt standards, including a new wiring works harness, 12v alternator, battery and full 12v lighting.

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
