A Factory Original Sundial!  Almost everything on this vehicle is from the factory or Sundial.  All of the interior, paint, windows, trim, engine, transmission and even the spare tire is original.  This bus has only had two owners and stored in a garage for its entirety.  This beauty has been meticulously maintained over its lifetime and now it is time to pass it on to someone who can continue to do the same.  I have most maintenance records from the first oil change to the original owner's manual and dealership brochures.

EXTERIOR:
There is some body damage that was done years ago. The sliding door was backed into in New Mexico in 1978, I believe.  There is a "kink" in the door but it still slides, latches and seals.  The left rear quarter panel hit a trash can in Washington in the late 80's.  The repair that was done is fine but they had a hard time matching the paint.  The brakes, shocks and bearings will need to be done soon but are still in drivable condition.  I just installed brand new tires, spark plugs and performed an oil change. The body is rust free.  All of the door locks work and are keyed the same as the ignition.  The lights, seals and windshield wipers are in excellent condition.  And the glass is in great shape and, I believe, factory original.

INTERIOR:
There are a few flaws in the interior.  There is a small 1/2" tear in the headliner and the "vinyl" on the firewall is starting to de-lam.  Other than that, the interior is perfect.  The dash is rot free with fully working controls, the wood in the camper is in good shape and the floor has been covered since the early 70's.  The pump for the sink works.  I even have the factory jack!  All of the decals that came from the factory are still in place.

This 46 year old VW that has less than 100,000 miles on it and has been to every state in the continental U.S. except two!

Addendum 4/29/14 - Upon closer inspection, there is a slight gap in the upper left corner of the sliding door when closed. It does fully close and latch, but is not completely sealed.   There is also an oil drip, but no major leaks.  The carburetor was just rebuilt and the bus has its original oil-bath aircleaner.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The 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.

VW internal investigation finds 'no evidence' against suspended engineers

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Volkswagen is still working out the chain of events that led to emissions-evading software being installed in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide and deciding who was responsible for the treachery. So far, the German automotive giant's internal investigation hasn't publicly named many suspects, and three suspended executive-level engineers have been found not to be culpable in the wrongdoing, according to an anonymous insider speaking to Reuters. VW knows that the software began being installed in the EA 189 engine in 2008. The internal investigation has found that the emissions-evading tech was created because the powerplant was found to fail US standards. Plus, the diesel mill wasn't meeting cost targets, according to Reuters. The automaker responded by suspending over 10 employees, but three top engineers among them might not have been involved. Those put on leave include Heinz-Jakob Neusser from VW, Ulrich Hackenberg from Audi, and Wolfgang Hatz who led Porsche's research and group-wide engine development. The internal detective work hasn't turned up any evidence against these three men. In addition to VW's own inquires, government investigators in both the US and Germany are taking a serious look into the company's actions, too. So far, the automaker is setting aside about $7.3 billion to pay to fix the vehicles with the evasive software. Depending on what authorities find, the costs could grow quickly. Beyond the financial implications, the scandal has led to a serious shakeup in VW's corporate structure. Related Video:
