Wonderful 1969 Vw Bus

Many Upgrades & New Parts Added to enhance your driving buzz!

I aquired this bus locally in S. Florida. It was originally from California.
The body was in excellent shape for its age. 
This Bus received a full work up from top to bottom.
I will do a rundown of all work performed.
I have driven it for over a year now. All finishing work such as paint and
suspension etc were all performed within a few months ago.

Engine: Engine is original stock 1600 single port.
The engine was rebuilt buy the previous owner.
They did not detail the tins and components but the motor
runs excellent and drips no oil ( if thats possible).
I installed an original bosch vacuum distributor
I also installed a new carb to air cleaner rubber neck.
New Pic 30/31 Solex Oem carb.
The battery is new and the voltage reg is a new bosch.
The engine is correct and the way it was in 69.

The transmission was upgraded with a rebuilt late model trans out of
a late 70's bus. It has a better ring and pinion and it shifts smoother too.
Much better trans than stock.

Suspension: The entire suspension system is new.
Front: New Disc Brakes off of a 72 Bus. New rotors calipers and pads.
New tie rods. New Ball Joints top and bottom. New drag link, New hoses for brakes New snubbers and sway bar bushings, Kyb Shocks. Basically everything was replaced with New.

The Rear: The same with the rear. New Cv Joints, Rebuilt Drum brake system, Kyb Shocks , hoses, etc.

All German parts were used, no chinese stuff.

The Body, A new paint job was added. Premium Primer and Topcoat.
Refinished in Original Montana Red With Cloud White.

Seals:  All New Seals Throughout: All windows, slider, hatch, engine, lenses, etc etc.

The side vent windows were replaced with original VW Sliders Out of a late model bus. Really nice air flow and hard to find.

A New deluxe Trim Kit was added to the perimeter of the belt line.
It's stunning and really sets this bus off.

The glass is in excellent shape on this bus

The entire undercarriage was refinished in the stock grey that was used at the factory. It was also primered.

A Custom original style stereo was added. At the cost of $240. It looks old but went into the stock uncut dash and it has usb and aux hookup with digital display. Super cool. Alpine front speakers and kicker in the rear speakers under the seat set in original seat base plate.

Interior: Way Cool interior custom done by me. Door panels were a new kit covered in a dashiki type print. Original arm rests are still attached.

A 48 star 1930's flag hangs from the ceiling. The original headliner is still there. It is in decent shape but has a couple holes. New hatch covers installed.

New front rubber mat, Original mid section rubber mat is there and in good Shape. A nice multicovered rug is over it.

Very cool spiral beads hang over the walk through entrance way.

The rear seat was recovered in original smurf print material. 

The inside is way cool and really takes you back. The custom Hippy print curtains also set this bus way off.

Back to driving. This bus drives absolutely excellent. It tracks straight at 65 and never lets up. Suspension is better than new and is super reliable turnkey everytime.

I have added 4 new white wall tires, mounted on original 15" Vw rims off an early split window. There is also a spare with original Vw Cover.

The original jack is also included.

All guages work and all functions work too. I installed a custom Tach mounted to the dash. It can be removed and I did not cut anything.

Wipers, all lights, turn signals, hazards, horn, etc etc work properly.

It is really a one of a kind bus and whomever wins will be very happy. No dissapointments here. This bus is everything and more. Many cool upgrades and many many new parts. A lot of time and money was put in to restoring this bus. 
The paint is super smooth and was polished to perfection

Being sold at No Reserve.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

Daily Driver: 2015 Volkswagen CC

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Volkswagen CC Executive, reviewed by Seyth Miersma. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. And don't forget to watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Hi, guys. This is Seyth with Autoblog, and I'm driving the 2015 Volkswagen CC. The version of the car I'm in is the VR6 4motion car, so it's got a six-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. This six-cylinder is actually a little bit of an odd duck at this point for the class. It's a 3.6 liter V6. It makes 280 horsepower, 265 pound-feet of torque. It's really living in a world that's been [00:00:30] overtaken by potent, two-liter turbos. I think something that's particularly difficult, especially in light of what I know about the Volkswagen family, the new engines getting great fuel economy. The 1.8T and obviously the TDI are real champs in that regard. Unfortunately, this VR6 is really sucking down the premium. These days, a 20 MPG combined rating is not particularly good. This definitely isn't a sports car. If you throw it hard into a corner, it leans a little bit, you can feel some roll [00:01:00] through the suspension. Handling is tidy, but it's not particularly precise. Of course, it's not really meant to be. This is a car that's meant to be great on the highway, great cruiser, look pretty stylish, and with a good powertrain, it can be exciting enough. Because you're not getting anything else that's very sports car-like about this car, other than the power delivery, and even there it's not quite on-pace with some of the sporty sedans that you can buy for right around the same money. It just makes for an interesting mix; something that's a little bit fast, [00:01:30] not very fuel-efficient, not a great handler, not a premium badge. Let's cut down right to it. This car is $44,400 and some change. Again, the VR6 4motion Executive Trim level, which means it pretty much gets everything you can get in a CC. We've got leather seats; they are heated. They have a massaging seat on the driver's side. I've got some 18-inch wheels that look pretty good. Big head unit with touch-screen and [00:02:00] navigation, satellite radio, better sound system. Just in general, the car feels very well-appointed. It feels like an entry-level luxury car.

Tanner Foust drifts in with new VW Passat [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Tanner Foust, like many drifting and rallycross names, may have had a long track record with Ford, campaigning Blue Oval drifters in Formula D, the X Games and the Global RallyCross Championship. He won a few medals with Nissan too. But these days he's all about the Volkswagens. He drives a Beetle in the aforementioned GRC, but is now set to return to Formula Drift with the Passat you see here. The Top Gear USA co-host's new ride is ostensibly based on the German sedan we all know, but instead of a 1.8 turbo, a V6, a TDI or even a W8, this one packs a 7.4-liter V8. That mammoth mill sends about 700 horsepower to the rear wheels through a four-speed transmission, but will churn out a good 900 hp on nitrous. In short, it should be better suited towards drifting than the Passat 4Motion this writer tried to slide so many times in his youth. The beast is sponsored once again by Rockstar Energy, and we're looking forward to watching Tanner use it to try and retake the titles he won in 2007 and 2008.
