This  was Volkswagen's top-of-the-line transporter. The Deluxe was essentially a normal Microbus with an extra window added to each side. These "hardtop" Deluxe Microbuses are rarer than the Samba version, and are often called "13" window buses. In the 7-passenger version, the back seat is a full bench seat, but the front seat is a "walk-thru" configuration, and the middle seat is only 2/3 length to allow access to the back seats, from the front seats.        

My son purchased the Bus, in January of 1989 from a fellow student at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA. Throughout that year he replaced the front drum brakes, brake cylinders/shoes, starter & generator, replaced front & rear bearings. 

The transmission was rebuilt in 1993 by a shop in Reading, PA, don't remember the name.

In September 1993 a new 36 hp 1600 cc VW engine was installed by Frank Hauser Foreign Car Service, Morgantown, Pa. At that time he adjusted left front link pin, removed right front king pin assembly. Custom made king pin bushing, machined king pin to fit bushing. Aligned front end. Van was then flat bedded to me in Long Island, New York. The van has been insured, registered and on the road this entire time. It has been garaged since then, as well.

2002-New, GOODYEAR  INVICTA steel belted radials. 2003-Replaced front wheel cylinders. More recently New front brake shoes, New SOLEX 30 Pict carburetor, coil, new seat padding and covers.

 All old original parts saved. Extra parts that go w/ the Bus: New rear brake shoes, various brake lines & tune-up parts.  


~ CONDITION ~

 Exterior:  Original, unrestored showing wear. Paint is chalky & panels have scratches, bumps & dents as seen in pics. All glass is good & doors open & close w/ no leaks. Rust along bottom edges. Lights, wipers & horn work. All lenses OK, trim pieces & bezels present w/ wear. New tires.

Interior: Dash in good shape, radio & middle seat missing. Mats only in front, front seats are very nice having been redone, rear bench, so, so. Panels are fair & floors have rust & holes.

Engine/Driveline: A rebuilt Type 3 c.1966 -1973, # T021672X was installed in 1993 @ 72716 miles (invoice pics below), now has 74905, read 174905. Engine was adjusted & maintained as per specs after it was installed & runs strong w/ no oil burning. Trans rebuilt & any suspension parts replaced/rebuilt, as were the brakes. Solid mechanically w/ no drips or leaks

Undercarriage: RUST! In this instance, pictures do tell the story. I’m being very honest & upfront in disclosing the Bus’s problems. It’s structurally sound although the outriggers are shot. These as well as all VW parts can be easily sourced & welded in.

Road Test/Mechanically: The videos coupled w/ a current New York Inspection demonstrate & validate its roadworthiness. It drives & handles very nicely, capable of being driven anytime, anywhere.

 

SUMMARY

This is a Classic 13 Window VW Bus that I regret selling, but need the room & must downsize. I’m sure a lot of you have had similar situations where you have the best intentions to do a full resto, but over time priorities change & the time & effort dissipate. These 13 Window Buses w/ the "Split-Window" are rare & are a real part of history. Ones in no problem condition exceed $30K as I'm sure you know, & of course Show Quality ones have reached six figures.  

Even comes with a Grateful Dead window sticker. Far Out!

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.

New Audi design chief Massimo Frascella shaped cars for Jaguar Land Rover

Sat, Feb 17 2024

At the Audi brand, style and design have long been a high priority; think the super sleek and sexy A7 sedan, the Bauhaus-inspired TT coupe, the single-frame grille that instantly identified the marque with its down-the-road graphics. So when the Bavarians install a new head of design, that’s also worth a look. Massimo Frascella is that person, a 52-year-old Italian designer who this summer will succeed Marc Lichte. Lichte ran Audi design since 2014 and will take up a new role within the Volkswagen Group. Frascella, a student at the Istituto d`Arte Applicata & Design in Turin, ignited his career at Stile Bertone, and his resume after that evolves impressively. He subsequently held positions at Ford Motor Company and Kia, and since 2011, Frascella has held senior positions at Jaguar Land Rover. He was responsible for the creation of several models: Discovery Vision Concept (2014), Discovery Sport (2014), Discovery (2016), Velar (2017), Evoque (2019) and Defender. In 2019 he became creative director of Land Rover and in 2020 design director. He was also instrumental in the development of the range of new electric Jaguars that are in the works. “Joining Audi is a very special moment for me,” Frascella said. “I am deeply honored to assume the role of chief creative officer and to guide such a talented team in shaping the future of the brand to new heights of innovation and distinction. I believe in the emotional power of design to inspire, connect, and drive change, and I am here to nurture and promote creativity as the beating heart of our brand.” Looking back a couple of decades, it was one of FrascellaÂ’s predecessors who helped to cement AudiÂ’s reputation in automobile design: Walter de Silva. De Silva was appointed head of Audi design in 2002. From 2007 to 2015, he supervised the design strategy for the entire Volkswagen group, including the TT, the Scirocco, the Passat and the Golf. Not a bad list of achievements, but in a interview several years ago, de Silva said that he considered the 2007 Audi A5 coupe the pinnacle of his automotive design art, citing its “sex appeal, the shape of the lights, the architecture.” Design/Style Audi Jaguar Land Rover Volkswagen Automotive History

Volkswagen rules out Eos successor

Fri, Jan 16 2015

When Volkswagen introduced the Eos back in 2006, hard-top convertibles were all the rage – in North America, in Europe and around the world. But the trend, billed at the time as the best of both worlds, has long since subsided, leading to VW axing the Eos several months ago. And don't count on it getting a successor at some point down the line, either. At the Detroit Auto Show earlier this week, VW R&D chief Heinz-Jakob Neusser told Autocar that the Eos is down for the count. In fact it is "maybe the first model we take out of the market" in a reversal of the momentum that has seen the German automaker expand its lineup incrementally over the past several years – although the Chrysler-built Routan minivan was also canceled around the same time. The place the Eos occupied in VW's North American lineup is largely being taken by the more charismatic Beetle Convertible, and in Europe and other markets by the Golf Cabriolet that's still based on the previous-generation hatchback. The Eos, however, isn't the only hard-top convertible withdrawn from the market in recent years. Tin-top cabrios like the Lexus IS and SC, Cadillac XLR, Chrysler 200, Pontiac G6 and Volvo C70 have all gone the way of the dodo – as have Euro-market coupe-convertibles versions of models like the Ford Focus, Opel Astra, and Peugeot 207. The arrival of the Buick Cascada just goes to show that soft-roofed convertibles have won out, particularly as far as four-seat cabrios are concerned. The one notable exception where folding hard-tops are still gaining traction is among mid-engined exotic supercars like the Ferrari 458 and McLaren 650S, both of which opted for solid folding roofs instead of fabric ones. We've yet to see, however, which approach Lamborghini will take with the Huracan Spyder or Audi will with the next-generation R8, the predecessors of both of which featured fabric roofs.
