1968 Deluxe Walk Through VW Bus

Project - Not running - Engine is removed

M - Plate codes show a build date of 5/28/68 with paint colors L90D Pastel White upper and L555 Titan Red lower. Picked up by the first owner at the factory in Germany , meant for the US market.

The paint shows primer and original paint rub through in several areas , as pictured.

The body has typical non-structural surface rust in some exposed ares and is overall very solid , as pictured.

The right rear corner and adjacent battery tray are rusted through. The drivers floor and lower windshield frame also need attention , as pictured.

The rest of the bus , undercarriage , rockers , doors , drip rails , roof , are solid , as pictured.

The windshield is cracked. All the other glass is present and in good condition. The stainless vent frames are exceptionally nice , as pictured.

The deluxe trim is complete. The front emblem is MINT , as pictured.
(Note: The front emblem is not mounted to the bus. I think it's best done by the new owner at the time and method they choose)

The dash is uncut. All the seats are present , as pictured.

The front door panel handle cups , armrests , and vent ducts are included , as pictured . These "loose" items will be nicely boxed and placed inside the bus.

The engine was removed and disassembled for a rebuild. The engine case number is U0190875 ,, The Head numbers match 311 101 375 c ,, As far as I can tell , the engine parts look to be in order . I don't see any broken parts or cracks or unusual wear. A machine shop will need to make a real assessment of the condition.
The pictured disassembled engine and related parts will be will be carefully boxed and placed inside the bus.

The transmission is complete and although it has been sitting for sometime now , It was working well at the time the engine was removed.

The brake pedal has lost pressure and will need to be sorted. The emergency brake works.

The steering is tight and the bus rolls freely.

I have been faced with the need to find another storage facility so I've reluctantly decided to list my bus for auction.

The bus is CA registered non-op with a clean CA title in my name.

This bus is truly a great investment opportunity for the right owner to get back on the road and enjoy or do a full restoration. The value of this first year production bay window deluxe bus is guaranteed to climb.

Pictures are worth thousand words , I have around 200 detailed pictures on Photobucket , Please look them over. All the pictures are recent . Everything pictured is included, nothing more, nothing less. The Photobucket link is http://s899.photobucket.com/user/306bullet/slideshow/1968%20VW%20Bus

I encourage potential bidders to see the bus in person if possible.

The bus is located in Orange CA 92867 ( near the 55 and 91 ) , a few miles from Disneyland

I'm happy to answer questions , If I'm unable to answer my phone I will call you back , Steve 714-454-5356

MotorWeek recalls the glory days of the VW Cabriolet

Sun, Apr 26 2015

Remember the car that the rich, very attractive girl in your high school got on her 16th birthday? Was it a Volkswagen Cabriolet? But time marches on, and the boxy convertibles have attained a certain quirky coolness in the modern day. MotorWeek weighs in with a look at the 1989 model in the latest entry in its Retro Review series. MotorWeek actually comes away rather impressed with the Cabriolet, especially its handling. The show doesn't even complain about the big roll bar over the center of the car that has always looked more like a basket handle than a safety aid. Host John Davis must have enjoyed driving the droptop VW, too – despite his very '80s windbreaker and polo shirt ensemble, he was sporting quite the tan in this clip. The small, inexpensive convertible segment has largely disappeared today, but as MotorWeek shows by comparing the Cabriolet to the Chrysler LeBaron and Chevrolet Cavalier, it wasn't always this way. Take a ride in VW's droptop to see how it scores.

VW may make Bentley a subsidiary of Audi

Sun, Oct 25 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen plans to make British luxury carmaker Bentley a subsidiary of its Audi division as it seeks economies of scale among its top-end brands, German trade publication Automobilwoche reported. Bentley, for now overseen by the head of VW's Porsche business, Oliver Blume, will from next year be part of Audi, where VW group Chief Executive Herbert Diess believes it has more potential, Automobilwoche cited company sources as saying. Synergies could include using Audi technology for a new Bentley SUV, it added. Volkswagen, which declined to comment on the report, is reviewing the future of its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati motorcycles as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters this month that Volkswagen was working on plans to prepare Lamborghini for a stock market listing. Related Video: Audi Bentley Volkswagen
