1969 vw bus.  

USA originally sold in Los Angeles
type 2 transporter baywindow microbus
7 passenger walk thru
It has a strong type 1 dual carb, dual glass pack exhaust that purrs
well maintained with fresh oil turnkey ready to go, runs drives and stops good.
Breaks were just bled and filled with new fluid
It has been a pleasure cruiser for me that you could use as a daily driver.
Being an original west coast bus it is mostly dry...has had some small rust issues that come with almost any 40+year old bus.  Nothing you could put your foot thru on the sheet metal, frame and underchasis is solid minimal rust 
Sitting on brandnew rubber, 2.5" white walls with new beauty rings and moon caps. 
New headliner so ALL window seals except rear hatch been replaced. New windshield installed too.
front door seals are brand new and in fact the doors have to be shut harder than previously because they arent even broken in yet.
I bought replacement shocks, but the ones on are solid and didnt need replacement
motor mounts are good

What you might call the bad or expected:
 could use ball joints replaced if desired
I broke the antenna when covering the bus from a storm so no amfm
driver seat bottom has tear
rear seat not mounted, I take it out most of the time
small ding in the driver rear corner behind the bumper, was there previously not sure why but in my opinion is minor so I never spent the money to fix it.
key was jb welded into the ignition, I have the replacement to change it out.  

She runs great...turns heads and 99% of the drivers out there give respect on the road while driving.  
I can help with international shipping, nearest port is New Jersey, maybe Norfolk VA??
Please only bid if planning to buy. I have been honest in my description and only hope to have a smooth sale with a happy new bus owner. Raleigh is the nearest airport, I can pick you up if needed.

I have a few pics available to upload, if there is a specific area you want to see, send me a message.


On Jul-20-13 at 09:20:29 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have received a few requests for my reserve price, also if I will accept any offers to end the bidding, and my answer is respectfully, no. This bus will sell here and I will ride out the length of the auction. It will not get taken down early...thank you for your interest.  I have removed my local listing and am selling thru ebay so I dont have to do the test drive, tire kicker, "I have half now and the rest in payments?" kind of scenario...I do not have the time with my current schedule to deal with this, thank you for your understanding.

Volkswagen Passat gets classier styling, tech updates for 2016

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Volkswagen revealed a snazzier-looking, better-equipped version of the Passat Monday evening, which will start at $23,260 when it goes on sale as a 2016 model late this fall. The refresh updates VW's midsize sedan, though the changes are mostly evolutionary, and they come as Volkswagen is mired in scandal following charges it cheated on EPA tests. The design features a new hood, grille, rear bumpers, and front fenders. It's also the first VW sedan to offer LED head- and taillights as an option, and the 2016 version is the first Passat to get an R-Line package, which includes black accents, 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and a custom front bumper. "We applied a progressive design strategy with the new Passat, giving the car a dynamic presence and a more sophisticated look," Klaus Bischoff, Volkswagen head of design, said in a statement. "We have integrated several new design elements, including a sculpted, domed hood that significantly sets the car apart from its predecessor." Inside, the cabin gets nicer materials, including chrome and piano-black trim, a new steering wheel, and available heated rear seats. VW's second-generation modular infotainment platform is standard, and it offers swiping and pinch-to-zoom features on most models. Volkswagen's Car-Net system is also available, which allows for smoother smartphone integration. The powertrain lineup carries over and is made up of the 1.8-liter turbo four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbo diesel, and a 3.6-liter V6. It's unclear if the TDI model will be offered at launch in light of VW's recent diesel scandal. VOLKSWAGEN UNVEILS NEW 2016 PASSAT WITH STRIKING DESIGN, INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND ENHANCED VALUE The Chattanooga-built Passat raises the bar in the midsize segment, offering new styling inside and out as well as a host of new connectivity and driver assistance features • Striking new front and rear design • New interior with updated instrument panel and center stack for a more premium feel • Standard MIB II infotainment system includes USB connectivity • Available VW Car-Net® App-Connect supports smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and MirrorLink® • Energy-efficient LED headlights and taillights available for the first time on a VW sedan • New driver assistance systems are standard features on select trim levels • First-ever R-Line® trim for U.S.

Volkswagen caught testing hotter Golf R 400

Wed, May 20 2015

We're getting closer, folks. Last we heard, Volkswagen gave its super-hot Golf R 400 the green light for production. And before that, we were told that if the car got the go-ahead, it would be offered in the United States. So here we are, with a fresh set of spy shots showing what we believe to be the R 400 out testing. Here's one dream that might just be coming true. The prototype seen here sports bigger brakes, different wheels, very low-profile tires, a front lip spoiler, and a wing around back – that last bit looks to be borrowed from the GTI Clubsport. It's not nearly as outrageous-looking as the original R 400 concept, but that's okay with us. Volkswagen's production hot hatches have always been pretty subtle. We love a good sleeper. Under the hood, expect a turbocharged powertrain tuned up to over 400 horsepower. It'll be mated to a dual-clutch transmission and 4Motion all-wheel drive – two parts of the current Golf R package that work very, very well. There's no telling exactly when we'll see the production Golf R 400, assuming it's actually, really, finally happening. All we can do now is wait. And salivate.

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test

Wed, Sep 29 2021

The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.
