Ok, Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Volkswagen History. I bought this from the Original Owner. It sat in a garage in Mcminville Oregon for years. It served the owner very well through out the years, until it was parked, due to Brake issues. It was bought new @ Koch Motor's and I have the Original Dealer licence plate Frame, as well as the Original Oregon Plates, that were issued to it when the Original owner bought it.
When I purchased it...It had sat for quite a while. It needed some rust repair in the front floor, as well as the rear cargo floor. I bought and installed a Gerson complete front floor. It still could use some rust repair, but nothing too crazy really. You can enjoy it right now and do it as time allows, as I have done. It will come with the Original Title from 1968 when it was paid off, Original Keys, Original Owners manual, warranty booklet, receipt's, Selling Dealers Warranty looking credit card with the vehicle and owners info on it, which is a pretty cool thing that is usually missing. It has the Original Engine and Original Big but Transmission. This bus runs and drives great! Here is a List of what I have done to make it Road Worthy:
New Shocks and new Link Pins
New Master Cylinder
New Wheel Cylinders
New Shoes and I had the drums turned
New soft Brake lines up front
Full Tune up on Original Engine
New Battery and Fuel Line from Tank to pump to carb, as well as a new fuel filter.
New Tires with fresh Powdercoated wheels
Lubed all Zerk Fittings
It is a Walk Thru Model, which is more desirable to most and has all of the Original Seats and they are in Excellent Condition. The Middle seat Upholstery could be stitched up. Both Original Floor mats are Intact. Has long interior panel but missing other Interior panels. Has the Spare Tire in back, as well as the Original Spare Tire cover. Overall, it is hard to find a bus as complete as this one is and it is even harder to find one in this condition.
Overseas Buyers are Welcome to bid and There is the Port of oakland, which is 100 miles from me, so not too far.
* NOTE: My Personalized California Licence plate and Frame are not included in this sale. It will come with the Original Oregon plates and Original Selling Dealer's Frame.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
