1960 Mango Walk Thru Most Metal Work Done !!! on 2040-cars
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
|
This is a 1960 walk thru Mango bus that has had most all of the lower metal work replaced and the paint touched up very nicely to match the original color .The bus has a later beetle motor that runs strong and the bus drives and stops as is . I have a link to many pics of the different metal work which is all very well done as far as the body goes it is very solid . The doors still need a lot of work , The drivers door frame is very rusty I think it needs to be replaced or maybe use this skin on another frame. There are two passenger doors the one on the bus now is ok but has dings but matches the bus . The two side doors both need work the inside top of the rear side door is very rusty . The hatch door has had some welding and is in OK shape but still needs some work . The body has dings and a lot of surface rust on the upper parts but it is solid and has been treated with something to treat and stop further rust , IT IS NOT CRUSTY IT IS SOLID ONLY A COUPLE SMALL PIN HOLES . I have most window parts but missing a vent window and a couple side windows the glass is busted . The Passenger back corner was dented but has been dollied back out fairly smooth and the lower bottom corner is new metal but has not been Painted it has just surface rust . The long outter rocker has been welded but no bondo was put there just the welding smoothed and the touchup paint so its a little wavy but again it matches the look of the bus.The nice fellow I bought the bus from did all the work and had on planned on leaving it pretty much as is as far as the paint goes which it does look cool or you could touch up as much of the rusty parts as you wanted but I would try to keep it an original paint mango bus. I only have the drivers seat back frame no other seat parts. The bus does shift but it needs all new shift bushings but all gears work. The brakes do work fine and has had some brake work you can see in the pics. The wiring looks like it will work but most has not been tried out . It does have a very beat up back bumper. Some of the underside needs to be rust treated and painted but all the rusty metal has been replaced. The Bus will start , drive and stop but needs work still to be a driver . This is a cool bus . I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE IT ONLY COMES WITH A BILL OF SALE IT HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD IN MANY YEARS . This may still be a long thread on the Samba about all the work done to this bus with many details about the work . Price is firm if interested you can call if you like 850 264-5395 BILL in tallahassee |

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
