This bus began its restoration with us intact, accident free with only minimal dings and dents.  This bus was a true barn find.

 the original German parts were refurbished and reused.

BODYWORK

PAINT

This two-toned bus was painted with quality DuPont Nason automotive base coat/clear coat products.   The upper half and bumpers are painted in Jet Black.  Bottom half

and interior is a stunning metallic Candy Apple Red.  Then entire bus was painted with several coats of clear.

 roof rack, antenna, and more.  Wheels are 17” rims with brand new low profile tires.    

INTERIOR

Interior cargo area has been covered with black leatherette 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 support slats.  Floor is also coated with undercoating, new plywood installed then covered

 suspension components as well as throttle, clutch, and brake cables.   So much more work went into the important mechanics of this bus there is too much to list, but

 feel free to ask any questions.     

ENGINE and TRANSMISSION

Powered by a 2.0 Liter or 2000cc "pancake" Porsche Boxer/914 motor which was disassembled and rebuilt.  Then meticulously reassembled.

  New Progressive Holley Weber carburetor and air cleaner,  battery, starter, etc.  Transmission shifts through all gears smoothly.  Entire clutch assembly is brand new. 

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.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013


Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
