1967 Vw 21 Window Sunroof Deluxe Type Ii Bus Volkswagen Samba on 2040-cars
Gainesville, Florida, United States
1967 VOLKSWAGEN 21-WINDOW DELUXE MICROBUS All interior panels are the original, Aero Papyrus
material, which is not available in reproduction form. It still has the
original spare tire cover, though it has a tear. The side kick-panel for the
correct two-thirds middle seat is missing. All the mats, both front and back
rubber mats, as well as the sisal mat in the cargo area are original to the
bus. The fuel gauge, wipers, lights, signals, and flashers work perfectly. The
clock was working until recently (contacts probably just need cleaning). I have
not tried to use the washer bottle, but the setup is all there and in very good
condition. It still has the original 12 volt sticker on the dash. The glass is
all original. The passenger windshield has a “baseball” crack, but the previous
owner was waiting to find a correctly marked replacement. This is a December
'66 bus, so it doesn’t have backup lights and has the ’66-style radio knobs.
Otherwise, it exhibits all the '67, one-year-only, bus characteristics, 12v,
etc. The seats were redone years ago using Lenny Copp, West Coast Classic seat
covers, which are still in very good condition. The pop-outs were removed,
frames resprayed Cumulus White and all new rubber was installed last year. A
fresh single-port 1600 engine was rebuilt and installed by Jeff Leininger of
Jeff's Bug Shop, Houston, in 2006. It currently has approximately 10,000 miles
since the rebuild. It runs very well and has been as reliable as a Swiss watch.
At about the same time, the brakes, master cylinder, drums, wheel bearings, tie
rods, and other suspension components were rebuilt or replaced. It has a fairly
fresh set of tires (fronts 2013, rears 2012). It has a fresh battery, generator
and regulator. The prior owner has driven it, along with his family, to Bulli
Brigade (annual national VW event in St. Petersburg, FL) regularly since 2006,
including last November without incident. The guiding philosophy during my
and the previous owner’s ownership was to leave this bus as untouched and
original as possible, knowing and appreciating that they are only original
ONCE! Except for fixing things as needed to keep the body, interior and running
gear in tip-top shape, that philosophy has been honored. To that end, one could
hop inside and drive anywhere with confidence. This bus will not disappoint!! (Note: Some of the photos do not show the 2/3 middle seat. It was only removed for the photo so it would not obstruct. It IS shown in one photo as it currently installed. This is the proper "1967-only" 2/3 middle seat with the '67-only ashtray on the back of it and IT IS INCLUDED in the sale!)

Therefore, I reserve the right to cancel bids and end this eBay listing early if the vehicle sells through those efforts and the reserve amount has not yet been met. |

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
