Twenty years ago I had the grand plan of buying this 68 bus to help with my newly formed cleaning company. As I grew out of the bus I couldn’t get past the fact that I loved it, so I kept it and drove it on weekends. It seemed at every light people were always pointing or talking about it. I knew I had to hold on to it and figure in twenty years or so I would fix it up and sell it for a split window, my dream bus.

Well, the twenty years are up and the chance of me fixing it up are slim to none so I have decided to sell it to the forth owner and let them have the pleasure of fixing up this gem, have some fun and possibly make some money when the time comes.

It has it all, original owner's manual and jack, pop top, foldout bed, cot above sliding door, child’s cot over front seats, refrigerator or ice box, sink and cutting table, table, closet with mirror on closet door, extra seat behind drivers seat, foot rest, along with a list of things making this a true get.

I will not lie, it does have some issues which I did my best to show them all in the pictures and will try to explain below:

A few rust spots under both bay window

The biggest rust spot is right in front of the driver’s front seat

There are a couple of dents, that are reachable so could be easily fixed

One of the racks on the top is broken but easily fixed

Does not have the original paint job and does have a few scratches

Both door mirrors are either cracked or glass is gone

The pop up needs new canvas as well as the top cot

The engine was rebuilt right before the gear shift linkage went out which is what put it in the garage. I’m not sure what the issue is on the linkage, the shifter itself could have just pulled out for all I know

The last time it drove was in 1999 at Texas Motor Speedway on the infield when the linkage went out. At that point, the engine was working great it just wouldn't go into gears, so we towed it home and it has been in the garage ever since

No battery

All of these issues are easy fixes, it’s just going to take some time and money of which I have neither. After all of these years it has very little rust on it, with only surface rust on the under carriage and the few spots shown in the pictures. As mention before, this vehicle has been a riot to own and I hate to let her go but it is time as its life is not over and my wife will finally be able to park her car in the garage.

I have gotten to know the bus family since owning one and I’m sure this one will find a good home and get the face lift it has always wanted and needed.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Taxpayers wasted $51 million on VW diesel credits

Wed, Sep 23 2015

The scope of Volkswagen's diesel emission rules evasion continues to widen with 11 million vehicles now potentially affected around the world, and the company is setting aside over $7 billion to start paying for it all. However, the costs could go even deeper. In a piece that's well worth a read, an analysis by The LA Times finds that the government distributed as much as $51 million in green car subsidies to buyers of these models in 2009 – the first year of the dishonest engine management software. The short-term effects of this scandal on VW are already quite dire. On September 21, the company's stock fell over 20 percent at one point on the German exchange, ended down 17.8 percent that day, and have continued to tank. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency has forced a stop-sale on 2015 and 2016 diesel models with the 2.0 TDI, and the agency has begun analyzing the 3.0-liter V6 TDI in the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, and Porsche Cayenne to look for similar issues. The Justice Department has also started a criminal investigation, and the automaker has instituted its own external probe, as well. The emissions irregularities were first discovered by researchers at West Virginia University and the International Council on Clean Transportation. The EPA and California Air Resources Board were eventually made aware and launched their own investigations.
