Unbelievable 1973 Microbus head turner. Over 400 man hours spent on restoration. Phenomenal one of a kind bus. Make it your show car, daily driver, or both! This is a great opportunity to invest in an iconic piece of history that continues to increase in value every day. The many pictures speak for themselves, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. 904 200 1081 and MAKE US AN OFFER!!! This 1973Volkswagen Microbus began its restoration with us intact, accident free with only minimal dings and dents, a good running driver, and with only minimal surface rust. Only the “common to rust out” battery tray was replaced with new metal. This bus was a true barn find. RESTORATION Bus was completely disassembled inside and out, down to a shell and power washed. All parts were inventoried and inspected for functionality and appearance. 90% of the original German parts were refurbished and reused as opposed to replacing them with a lesser quality aftermarket part usually made in China. BODYWORK Entire bus was sanded. Any dings or dents were repaired. Heavy coats of “Fill-Primer” were applied to even out the body, sanded and prepared for paint. PAINT This two-toned bus was painted with quality DuPont automotive base coat/clear coat products. The upper half and bumpers are painted in a metallic red effect black or Midnight Mocha. Bottom half and interior is a stunning metallic burgundy. Then entire bus was painted with several wet coats of clear. EXTERIOR After paint has cured, the body is wet-sanded with 5000 grit sandpaper and machine polished for ultimate shine. All parts new and refurbished are carefully installed. Every rubber seal and gasket was replaced with new. Some but not all new parts include; side mirrors, light lenses and housings, door handles, and more. Wheels are aftermarket 17” rims with brand new low profile tires. INTERIOR Side walls in the passenger cargo area have been covered with black leather-like vinyl prior to all glass (with new rubber) being installed. Ceiling was coated with an automotive sound-deadening undercoat then lined with beautiful bamboo and black vinyl slats. Floor is also coated with undercoating, new plywood installed then covered with high traction area black carpet. Seat stands, rear cargo and side panels are covered with a flexible automotive black carpet. Dashboard and components were restored and dash painted with a special rubberized paint and reassembled. Stereo is a new Pioneer cd player with aux port and two speakers mounted in the rear seats. 4 new black lap belts in the rear and 2 retractable 3 point seat belts in front. UPHOLSTERY Upholstery was done in house with all new foam and leather-like vinyl. Featuring perforated and pleated black tops, solid black sides and accenting burgundy piping. All rear seat bottom cushions and cup holder/armrest lift up for access to plentiful storage. UNDERCARRAIGE and MECHANICAL Entire underbody was power washed and completely sealed with automotive rust preventative undercoating. All mechanical and electrical components removed in disassembly are carefully inspected, tested and either repaired or replaced. Some, but not all, new components include; misc. steering, brake, axle, shifter and suspension components as well as throttle, clutch, heater, and brake cables. So much more work went into the important mechanics of this bus there is too much to list. ENGINE and TRANSMISSION Powered by a 1700cc "pancake" Porsche Boxer motor which was disassembled and refurbished. Then meticulously reassembled. New Pict 34 carburetor and air cleaner, sport style exhaust, battery and seals, etc. For years we have loved rebuilding and restoring old classics and take tremendous pride in our work and finished products. It gives us remarkable satisfaction to be able to take a 40 year old relic and put it back on the road to be enjoyed by all for many years to come. These VW buses are a great investment and the rate at which they are increasing in value is striking.
We are known to take reasonable offers and remove the bus from auction without notice. Don't loose out on this beauty!!!! ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-i_BTcEj1H-o/Uu13kinunbI/AAAAAAAAU-0/X1pN_xnZAwo/s800/DSC00652.JPG"")

VW CEO talks up 20 new plug-in models in Frankfurt
Mon, Sep 14 2015For years now, Volkswagen has dreamed big, forming plans to become the world's largest automaker. That trajectory includes a big plug-in vehicle push, and the CEO of Volkswagen, Martin Winterkorn, said that his group of companies will bring out 20 more EVs and plug-in hybrids by 2020. The list includes the next Phaeton and the Audi A8. "No commitment to electro-mobility can be any clearer than that," Winterkorn said, according to a VW press release. "Our Group already has the largest connected vehicle fleet on the road. By 2020 we will have transformed all of our new cars into smartphones on wheels." Perhaps most illustrative, Winterkorn admitted that the auto industry has turned a corner. "Technological leadership is no longer solely defined in terms of horsepower and torque," he said. "We are taking the precision, enduring value and quality of our cars into the new, digital world." The VW group is also showing off new plug-in concepts in Frankfurt this week, like the Tiguan GTE and the Porsche Mission E. Winterkorn's prepared remarks do not give out the details of these vehicles, but we'll have all the info from the show floor in short order. Stay tuned. PROF. DR. MARTIN WINTERKORN: "THE REINVENTION OF VOLKSWAGEN" 14/09/15 from Volkswagen Group 20 more electric cars and plug-in hybrids by 2020 announced Group not only has broadest electric fleet, but also largest connected vehicle fleet on the road Customers should benefit from automated driving technologies as quickly as possible Volkswagen taking precision, enduring value and quality of its cars into the digital world Wolfsburg/Frankfurt am Main, September 14, 2015 – In the Volkswagen Group, there is a sense that a new era is dawning. On the eve of the 66th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main the CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, said on Monday evening: "We are in the process of reinventing Europe's largest automaker, laying the technological, economic and structural foundations." The Group Chairman announced there would be 20 more electric cars and plug-in hybrids by 2020 – from compact cars to the next Phaeton and Audi A8: "No commitment to electro-mobility can be any clearer than that." He said the Group already had the broadest electric fleet in the automobile world, and added that Volkswagen was also at the forefront when it came to the future-oriented field of digitisation: "Our Group already has the largest connected vehicle fleet on the road.
Who wants to pay a million dollars for a VW Beetle?
Mon, Jun 1 2015The Volkswagen Beetle was always envisioned as a cheap mode of transportation, but now one is being offered for over $1 million by a dealer in the company's home base of Wolfsburg, Germany. So just what makes this Beetle so special? It's not the first one made, and it's not the last one made – but it comes close: This particular example is an Ultima Edicion – one of the final Bugs made in Mexico before production ended even there in 2003. It's decked out in beige with a black fabric interior and none – repeat, none – of the bells and whistles. With less than 75 miles on the odometer, it offers one wealthy buyer the rare opportunity to get an original Beetle (not some modernized incarnation thereof) in factory-fresh condition, which no one has been able to do for over a dozen years now. Does that make it worth the million-euro ($1.1M) asking price? Not if you ask us, no. But then we wouldn't count ourselves among the most dedicated Beetle fanatics out there.
