Your bidding on a California Black Plate 1966 Volkswagen Standard Microbus


It was Originally delivered in Sea Blue and Cumulus White, it has been repainted roughly 15 years ago in a different shade of blue and white . 

The bus is pretty straight and not much rust, there is a dent on the front nose and there was some filler used when it was repainted .  The only rust that I can see is on the front floor where it was patched by 2nd to last owners prior to 2001, this patch was a amateur job and should be removed and done correctly. Also there are a few small isolated areas on the outside edge of rear floors close to inner rocker. Also a small area in the battery tray. Really the bus is pretty darn dry for it's age.

Last owner bought it in 2001 and did nothing but spend money on mechanics, she had a New engine installed at a cost of $ 3252.19 on July 12,2002 at mileage 29523 , she stopped driving the bus roughly 3 to 4 years back.  The current mileage is 46112, so it has roughly 16500 miles on this engine .  Prior to not driving it she also had New Brakes installed some years back, New steering box and one of the reduction box's rebuilt , along with the shift linkage rebuilt and a few other things . I believe new tie rods were installed and one thing past owner told me is that it needs a alignment... front tires are balding and evidence this .  Trans shifts up and down through all gears like it should . 

We just checked the timing, adjusted the valves, bled and adjusted the brakes. the motor fires right off and sounds good and It has clean oil in it. The bus drives decent, but could use a few small things to improve it.  It has been converted to 12V and wipers are still 6V, lights work, brakelights work, horn works, right turnsignal is not working and neither are inside domelights. Even the gas gauge works !  There is a bunch of extra wires around up front from a previous old stereo system and what not.

 I drove it around the corner to 711 and put $9.01 in it .  You will NEED a new battery however as this one is dead

The bus currently is not registered and last tags on plate are from 2010, I believe it is Non opt, but am not 100% sure on that.  If the bus is sold over seas the plate does not go with it.

Back seat is from a bay Window and center leg has been cut so it is sagging, a new headliner was installed by 2nd to last owners .  This was purchased by the last owner as a father and son project. When you look at the bus thats kinda the vibe I get, some things done, but really it needs much more work thrown at it to make it a better bus . 

1 key does lock both front doors and back hatch, but not the cargo door. 


A pretty decent bus in todays market that you can get in and drive and fix it up as you go .


Sold as Is , as in life No guarantees ... 


International Shipping is not a problem , Port of Oakland is a hour away .

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. They start off with what it was like to be at the reveal for the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 out in Las Vegas. From there, they explore news of the 2024 Acura Integra Type S being revealed to have 5 more horsepower than the Civic Type R. And to round out the news section, there's an Explorer EV out, but it's only for Europe. After that, the two discuss the cars they've been driving, including the 2023 BMW XM, VW Jetta Sport with a manual transmission, our long-term Toyota Sienna minivan and what it was like to charge our long-term Kia EV6 on a Tesla Supercharger. Lastly, the pair spend some money to help a listener buy a car for their daughter who is just starting to drive.

VW issues orders for police version of e-Golf

Thu, Sep 11 2014

If the Toyota Prius could be used (in fiction, anyway) as a quiet way to do a drive-by shooting, then a pure electric vehicle should have some silent benefits for the police. It's happening in the real world thanks to the new police-spec VW e-Golf. On display at an international police equipment conference in Germany this week (the Internationalen Fachmesse fur Polizeiausrustung), the 5-0-ready EV has a special paint job as well as the required top lights and digital communications gear. VW says the special e-Golf also stands ready to serve the mission of emissions reduction. The powertrain is the same as what you'll find in the civilian e-Golf, which means an 85-kW electric motor that can zip up to 62 miles per hour in 10.4 seconds and a li-ion battery that provides something between 80 and 118 miles of range. We imagine using this little car for a high-speed car chase will shrink that down a bit. Volkswagen Konzern prasentiert Fahrzeuge mit Spezialausstattung auf Polizei-Fachmesse Internationale Premiere: Der e-Golf* als Polizei-Einsatzfahrzeug Der Volkswagen Konzern prasentiert eine breite Palette seiner Fahrzeugmodelle mit speziellen Polizei-Sonderausstattungen auf der 8. Internationalen Fachmesse fur Polizeiausrustung. Vertreten sind die Marken Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, SKODA und Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge. Die Volkswagen Leasing GmbH komplettiert als Finanzdienstleister den Konzernauftritt. Die Fachmesse findet vom 9. bis 11. September 2014 auf dem Messegelande in Leipzig statt. Als Messehighlight wird der e-Golf als Polizeieinsatzfahrzeug prasentiert. Damit verfolgt Volkswagen auch in diesem speziellen Fahrzeugsegment das Ziel der Schadstoffreduktion. Die Ausstattung umfasst neben der Sondersignalanlage unter anderem Digitalfunk und das klassische Erscheinungsbild in typisch blauer Beklebung. Ausgestellt werden weiterhin ein Golf Variant, ein T5 und ein Audi Q5 als Funkstreifenwagen sowie ein SKODA Octavia Kombi RS und ein SEAT Leon FR in der zivilen Variante. Fachbesucher finden den Volkswagen Messestand in der Halle 1, Stand H02. Der e-Golf uberzeugt mit einem wegweisend niedrigen Verbrauch von 12,7 kWh/100 km. Der Elektromotor leistet 85 kW/115 PS und entwickelt aus dem Stand maximal 270 Nm Drehmoment. In 4,2 Sekunden werden 60 km/h erreicht, nach 10,4 Sekunden 100 km/h. Die Reichweite liegt je nach Streckenprofil, Fahrweise, Einsatz von Komfort- und Nebenverbrauchern sowie Zuladung zwischen 130 und 190 Kilometern.
