1967 Vw 21 Window Sunroof Deluxe Type Ii Bus Volkswagen Samba on 2040-cars
Gainesville, Florida, United States
1967 VOLKSWAGEN 21-WINDOW DELUXE MICROBUS All interior panels are the original, Aero Papyrus
material, which is not available in reproduction form. It still has the
original spare tire cover, though it has a tear. The side kick-panel for the
correct two-thirds middle seat is missing. All the mats, both front and back
rubber mats, as well as the sisal mat in the cargo area are original to the
bus. The fuel gauge, wipers, lights, signals, and flashers work perfectly. The
clock was working until recently (contacts probably just need cleaning). I have
not tried to use the washer bottle, but the setup is all there and in very good
condition. It still has the original 12 volt sticker on the dash. The glass is
all original. The passenger windshield has a “baseball” crack, but the previous
owner was waiting to find a correctly marked replacement. This is a December
'66 bus, so it doesn’t have backup lights and has the ’66-style radio knobs.
Otherwise, it exhibits all the '67, one-year-only, bus characteristics, 12v,
etc. The seats were redone years ago using Lenny Copp, West Coast Classic seat
covers, which are still in very good condition. The pop-outs were removed,
frames resprayed Cumulus White and all new rubber was installed last year. A
fresh single-port 1600 engine was rebuilt and installed by Jeff Leininger of
Jeff's Bug Shop, Houston, in 2006. It currently has approximately 10,000 miles
since the rebuild. It runs very well and has been as reliable as a Swiss watch.
At about the same time, the brakes, master cylinder, drums, wheel bearings, tie
rods, and other suspension components were rebuilt or replaced. It has a fairly
fresh set of tires (fronts 2013, rears 2012). It has a fresh battery, generator
and regulator. The prior owner has driven it, along with his family, to Bulli
Brigade (annual national VW event in St. Petersburg, FL) regularly since 2006,
including last November without incident. The guiding philosophy during my
and the previous owner’s ownership was to leave this bus as untouched and
original as possible, knowing and appreciating that they are only original
ONCE! Except for fixing things as needed to keep the body, interior and running
gear in tip-top shape, that philosophy has been honored. To that end, one could
hop inside and drive anywhere with confidence. This bus will not disappoint!! (Note: Some of the photos do not show the 2/3 middle seat. It was only removed for the photo so it would not obstruct. It IS shown in one photo as it currently installed. This is the proper "1967-only" 2/3 middle seat with the '67-only ashtray on the back of it and IT IS INCLUDED in the sale!) On Jun-22-14 at 14:45:43 PDT, seller added the following information: Please note that this vehicle is listed for sale elsewhere. Therefore, I reserve the right to cancel bids and end this eBay listing early if the vehicle sells through those efforts and the reserve amount has not yet been met. |

VW's Winterkorn to stick around through at least 2018
Thu, Sep 3 2015Volkswagen may yet to have found a new chairman, but it's not about to get rid of its chief executive any time soon. The German automaker has announced its intention to renew Martin Winterkorn's contract through the end of 2018. That is, assuming that the Supervisory Board heeds the recommendation of its own Executive Committee when the full 20-member board meets on September 25. 68-year-old Winterkorn joined the Volkswagen Group back in 1993 after a decade and a half at Bosch. He was named head of Audi in 2002, and chairman of the Board of Management (effectively the chief executive officer) of the entire Volkswagen Group in 2007. Just a few months ago he faced off against Ferdinand Piech – chairman of the company's supervisory board and grandson of Ferdinand Porsche – that resulted in Winterkorn's victory and Piech's resignation. The executive committee's endorsement, then, is effectively a vote of confidence in Winterkorn's leadership. It still leaves unresolved the question of who will ultimately take over as chairman to succeed Piech. Winterkorn was touted for a potential promotion, but if the supervisory board renews his contract – currently set to expire next year – he'll be staying right where he is and a new chairman will need to be found. The chair is currently filled on an interim basis by Berthold Huber, former head of the union that was instrumental in Piech's ousting. Wolfsburg, 02 September 2015 Resolution of the Executive Committee of the Volkswagen AG Supervisory Board The Executive Committee of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG unanimously agreed a resolution for submission to the Supervisory Board at its meeting on September 25, 2015 under which a new contract as Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG for a term until December 31, 2018 should be concluded with Professor Dr. Martin Winterkorn. "Together with Professor Martin Winterkorn at the helm we will continue on our successful path of recent years and systematically implement the goals of Strategy 2018", Berthold Huber, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG, said.
VW lawyers up with firm that defended BP
Wed, Sep 23 2015The string of bad news for Volkswagen shows no sign of slowing yet, especially with the recent resignation of CEO Martin Winterkorn. For aid in its legal defense in the US over its ongoing diesel emissions scandal, the automaker has now employed Kirkland & Ellis LLP, which was the same law firm BP used for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, according to Automotive News. VW is surely hoping that things go easier for it than BP. After the massive oil spill, the company paid $4 billion to settle criminal allegations and another $18.7 billion for the other federal and state claims, Automotive News reports. We'll see. Based on fines for each of the 482,000 diesel vehicles with this evasive software in the US, VW could be on the hook for $18 billion from this lapse. In addition, 11 million units are potentially affected across the globe, and the company is already setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.25 billion) in expected costs. The automaker's stock on the German exchange is being hit hard by this scandal. The original discovery of high pollution levels in VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine began with researchers last summer, and the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board had been working on the problem for months before the EPA issued its notice of violation on September 18. A criminal investigation has now begun. The day before his resignation, Winterkorn issued a video where he apologized profusely for the scandal and promised to make things right.
The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
