1968 VW SINGLE CAB, DUEL TREASURE CHEST VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER PICK UP TRUCK, BAYWINDOW BUS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST VW BAYWINDOW SINGLE CAB PICK UP OUT THERE. EVEN MORE RARE THAN THE SPLIT WINDOW, JUST TAKE A LOOK WHATS OUT THERE. AND AFTER HAVING ONE OF EACH, I CAN SEE WHY. THE UPGRADED MOTORS, TRANNY, SUSPENSIONS AND BASIC DRIVABILITY IS NIGHT AND DAY BETTER IN THE BAYWINDOWS OVER THE SPLIT. 1968 IS THE RAREST BEING FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION AND A ONE YEAR ONLY. AND TO FIND ONE OF THESE ON THIS COAST IN FL. AS SOLID AS THIS ONE IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. THATS WHY ITS SO HARD FOR ME TO PART WITH IT. BUT MY WHOLE FAMILY DOESNT FIT IN IT AND LIFE HAS DELT ME A NEW HAND. YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER FIND ANOTHER THIS SOLID IN THIS AREA, JUST TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF. THIS ONE IS AN OLDER RESTORATION FROM PREVIOUS OWNER (ABOUT 8 YEARS), BUT HAS HELD THE TEST OF TIME. THERE MAY BE A COUPLE OF TINY BUBBLES IN THE PAINT BUT NO RUST. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE WITH THE ORIGINAL METAL BED AND TREASURE CHEST FLOORS THIS SOLID BEFORE. JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES, THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. EVERYTHING LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL AND EVEN COMES WITH EXTRA SET OF ORIGINAL RIMS AND TIRES THAT CAN GO WITH THE SALE IF DESIRERED. THIS WAS A TOTAL LABOR OF LOVE. THE BODY LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN PAINTED IN ITS ORIGINAL LOTUS WHITE COLOR WITH OFF SETTING BRIGHT WHITE BUMPERS. AND EVEN THOUGH PAINT IS EIGHT YEARS OLD, IT STILL WAXES UP TO A SHOW ROOM SHINE. LOOKS LIKE ALL THE RUBBER WAS REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME EXCEPT THE DOOR SCRAPPERS ARE QUIT WORN. I ALSO INSTALLED NEW TMI DOOR RUBBERS AROUND BOTH FRONT DOORS. IT HAS 15 INCH TIRES WITH SHINEY RIMS WITH FAT ONES ON THE REAR FOR THAT HOT ROD STANCE THAT WHAT A TRUCK SHOULD LOOK LIKE IN MY OPINION AT LEAST. THE TREASURE CHESTS ARE AS BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE AS THE INSIDE. THE ORIGINAL KEY THAT STARTS THE BUS, LOCKS THE DOORS, ALSO OPENS ONE SIDE OF THE TREASURE CHEST. YET, OTHER TREASURE CHEST KEY HOLE IS WORN. SO, THE P/O ATTACHED PULL WIRE ON THE INSIDE TO OPEN THE OTHER AND WORKS GREAT. LOOK AT HOW GREAT SHAPE THE ORIGINAL METAL IS INSIDE AND THEN ALL THE EXTRA CARGO ROOM. NEXT, YOU CAN LAY DOWN THE SIDES AND REAR GATES TO TURN YOUR TRUCK INTO A FLAT BED. THE GATES LOOK TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE WITH THE BOTTOM OF ONE SIDE HAS BEEN RAPAIRED. WHEN I LAY THE GATES DOWN TO FORM FLAT BED, I DO HEAR SOME LITTLE OLD PIECES OF METAL INSIDE THEY DIDNT GET OUT WHEN THEY PAINTED IT. JUST A LITTLE, BUT TRYING TO BE STRAIGHT ON EVERYTHING FOR NEW OWNER. YET GATES, RUBBER BUMPERS, HINGES AND LATCHES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE ORIGINAL METAL BED LOOKS TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE TOO, JUST PAINT A LITTLE SCUFFED FROM HAULING LOADS. THE REAR GATE HAS THE ORIGINAL HOLES IN IT TO BE ABLE TO STILL SEE YOUR TAIL LIGHTS IF DRIVING WITH GATE DOWN. DOESNT THE INGINUITY AMAZE YOU FOR 1968? IT BLOWS ME AWAY... AFTER LOOKING FOR YEARS, I FINALLY FOUND AN ORIGINAL BRAZILIAN TILT CANOPY FROM THE SIXTIES IN JUST AMAZING CONDITION. SINGLE CAB MUST MEET RESERVE FOR ME TO EVEN CONSIDER LETTING THIS GO WITH THE SALE. IF YOU CAN EVER EVEN FIND ONE OF THESE TOPPERS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE (GOOD LUCK), THEY ARE PRICED OVER TWO GRAND! BUT I WILL LET IT GO. EVEN THE CANVAS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I HAVE THE ORIGINAL STRAPS THAT GO WITH IT (SEE PICTURES). THE BACK SLIDES UP OR DOWN LIKE YOUR OLD PULL MINI BLINDS THAT WERE IN YOUR HOUSE BACK IN THE SEVENTIES. THEN YOU CAN STRAP UP EACH SIDE OF THE CANOPY AS WELL. IT CHANGES THE WHOLE LOOK OF THE SINGLE CAB AND LOOKS / FUNCTIONS WAY BETTER THAN THE HOOP CANOPIES IN MY OPINION AND ARE HARDER TO FIND. I PUT A MATTRESS IN THE BED AND TAKE MY BOYS CAMPING. I HAVE THE CANOPY OFF RIGHT NOW FOR TRANSPORT AND WILL LEAVE PERMANENT INSTALL FOR NEW OWNER. OH, THE BACK PLASTIC WINDOW IS LIKE NEW TOO AND IS CLEAR AS CAN BE. I FORGOT TO CLEAN IT BEFORE I PUT IT ON, BUT YOU WILL SEE IN PERSON JUST HOW NICE IT REALLY IS... THE ENGINE IS A 1600CC DUAL PORT MOTOR THAT HAS RECENTLY BEEN REBUILT BY LOCAL VW SPECIALIST. EVERTHING IS NEW FROM PISTONS AND CLYNDERS, RINGS, BEARINGS, ALL GASKETS AND SEAL, NEW RUBBER GASKET AROUNG MOTOR TIN, CORRECT TIN BEHIND SHROUD (ALWAYS MISSING) TO SEAL OFF MOTOR COMPARTMENT, 009 DISTRIBUTOR, CAP WIRES, ROTOR, PLUGS, LITTLE CHROME TO OFF SET COLOR AND MAKE IT POP, CARBURATOR, FUEL LINES, ORIGINAL AIR CLEANER AND HOSES, FUEL PUMP, TO EVEN NEW BATTERY AND GROUND STRAP. NOT A SPEED DEMON, BUT RUNS GREAT. IT DOESNT LEAK, BUT STILL MARKS ITS SPOT LIKE THEY ALL DO! ALL THE TINS WERE SANDED, PRIMED AND PAINTED ORIGINAL BLACK WITH HEAT RESISTANT PAINT. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LOOKS TO BE A SHADE LIGHTER THAN THE BODY, BUT IS PAINTED UP VERY NICE. AND ORIGINAL METAL ON BOTH SIDES LOOKS TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE. FINALLY, ITS FINISHED OFF WITH A NEW EMPI HEADER SYSTEM WITH A GOOD LOOKING STINGER. NOW I DO HAVE A NEW SINGLE QUIET PACK IF YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE IT THAN THE STINGER. YET, THE STINGER HAS FULL BAFFLE AND RUNS VERY QUIET BUT SOUNDS OH SO GOOOOD. THE UNDERSIDE IS IN AS GOOD AS CONDITION AS THE OUTSIDE WITH NO RUST ISSUES. AND HAS BEEN HAND PAINTED WITH A POR 15 ANTI RUST TYPE BLACK CONDITIONER PAINT FOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENCE. YOU CAN LOOK FOR YOURSELF, ITS VERY IMPRESSIVE. THE INTERIOR LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE REST. THE SEATS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED IN BRAND NEW TMI COVERS IN ORIGINAL TAN COLOR. WITH MATCHING DOOR PANELS, SUN VISORS, KICK PANELS AND MATCHING HIGH QUALITY REAL LEATHER STEERING WHEEL COVER AND VW SUICIDE KNOB. NEW CUSTOM BLACK HEAD LINER THAT WILL NEVER FALL AND MATCHING NEW BLACK TMI CARPET AND ORIGINAL BLACK MATT IN GOOD CONDITION. THE FLOORS HAVE A LITTLE PATCH ON BOTH SIDES FROM P/O AND DID GREAT JOB AND TOPPED OFF WITH RETRO FOOT PEDAL. THREE SETS OF ORIGINAL SEAT BELTS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND FUNCTION GREAT. AND THE ORIGINAL ASH TRAY IS IN THE GLOVE BOX SO I COULD SLID IN A DUAL DRINK AND CELL PHONE HOLDER. ALSO NEW TMI BLACK VIYNAL UNDER THE SEATS. ALL LIGHTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD AS IN THE HEADLIGHTS (HIGH & LOW BEAM), RUNNING LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGANLS ARE OFF AND ON AND BELEAVE FLASHER IS ON ITS WAY OUT. GAS GAUGE IS INTERMEDIATE AS WELL DUE TO OUR WONDERFUL ETHANOL IN OUR GAS. DASH LIGHTS ALL WORK GOOD, SPEEDOMETER, IDIOTS LIGHTS, HORN AND THE WIPERS (HIGH & LOW) ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD. REAR BRAKES COULD USE ADJUSTMENT AND THE EMERGANCY BRAKE. I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT TRYING TO BE THOUGHAL AS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE BUYERS THAT CANT GET HERE IN PERSON. CAUSE BY ALL MEANS, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF, FEEL FREE. YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE LIKE I DID AND WILL HAVE TO BUY IT! IN CONCLUSION, THIS 1968 BAYWINDOW IS THE MOST RARE OF ALL BEING THE FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION AND IS IN INCREADABLE SHAPE. SHE LOOKS, RUNS, SHIFTS (DOESNT POP OUT OF ANY GEARS), DRIVES AND HANDLES GREAT FOR A VW BUS THATS 46 YEARS OLD! SHE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME BETTER THAN ANY OTHER I HAVE EVER SEEN. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO KEEP THIS AND AM VERY MATICOLOUS ABOUT MY VEHICLES; HENCE, I HAVE GOT WAY TOO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS BUS. IM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF TWENTY GRAND!

VW diesel incentives could be fuel for prosecutors
Wed, Sep 30 2015In the 2000s, Volkswagen was among the companies that lobbied the government to get buyers of diesel vehicles a tax credit. The automaker even brought some of these models to Washington to show them to politicians. The incentive eventually passed, and about 39,500 customers of the 2009 Jetta TDI and Jetta SportWagen TDI got a $1,300 benefit – for a total cost of around $51 million. Now, according to Reuters, that politicking might come back to bite the automaker when prosecutors finally get cases to trial. The US Department of Justice, the Environmental Protection Agency, and attorneys general in at least 29 states are already investigating VW, and politicians are pushing for criminal and civil actions against the company. According to Reuters, there could be several legal routes available, too. One option is to bring tax fraud charges, and that would require proving the automaker knew it was making untrue claims about the diesel models. There's also the option of bringing a case under the False Claims Act, which prohibits fraud against the government. According to Reuters, a maximum penalty under the law would be three times the tax credit and another $5,000 for each vehicle that received it. The company is also facing a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled owners. To aid its defense against all of these claims, VW has hired the same firm that worked with BP during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Outside of the US, prosecutors in Germany have just started to build a case against former CEO Martin Winterkorn for alleged fraud. In addition to these potential legal penalties, VW could be fined around $18 billion by the EPA for the emissions infractions. The agency's investigation is getting the added backing of its Canadian counterpart. Although, the actual settlement is expected to be far less.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
VW modular platform strategy goes all-in on EVs
Tue, Jan 7 2014The Volkswagen Group has already revealed or put on sale a broad slate of new electric vehicles: the E-up, the E-Golf (shown above), the Porsche 918 Spyder, the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the XL1. In 2014, there will be at least six more models, including the A3 Sportback E-Tron. And after that? Well, to hear Rudolf Krebs, Group Commissioner For Electric Vehicle Drive Systems, tell it, VW's future is full of plug-in goodness. "With our platform strategy, it is quite easy to bring a lot of electrified vehicles to the market for the different brands in a very short time," he said. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars" That strategy starts with three platforms: MQB for small cars, MLB for midsize models and MSB for sporty and premium products (there's also the NSF for cars like the E-up). Speaking to AutoblogGreen, Krebs said VW has designed modules, things like engines and electric components (think: AC compressor, on-board chargers and battery management systems), to be used across all three platforms and across all brands all. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars," he said. "This is only possible if, at an early stage of the design of new vehicles, we implement the idea that these cars are not only designed for gasoline and diesel powertrains but that we can also include CNG concepts, flex-fuel concepts, pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles. With minor changes in the body in white, we can produce those vehicles, bumper-to-bumper, in one factory." "VW wants to be the leader in the electrification of vehicles" In this way, customers can choose the powertrain that they want, or whatever powertrain their local regulations demand. Politicians have already put a lot of pressure on the automotive industry, with ever-stricter CO2 regulations coming into effect in all of the major markets. In the US, the fuel economy regulation numbers require the equivalent of 101 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer by 2025. Europe, it's 95 grams by 2020. And China, which is asking for 118 grams by 2020, will be a tough scenario, Krebs said. Today, by optimizing conventional technologies and supporting things like CNG and biofuels, more than 300 VW Group models emit less than 120 g/km. A hundred of those are even under 100 g/km. But this is not sufficient, and VW admits that conventional powertrains will not be not enough.
