“KNOW THE STORY, SHARE THE DREAM, GET INVOLVED”

What you are looking at is a 1969 Volkswagen transporter bus that has been fully restored by EMC in Ventura California.

From the first day this bus came into the shop (March 18^th 2013) till now, it has undergone an extensive 1 year full restoration all in the hopes to bring this “one of a kind” vehicle back to life to live again for another 40+ years!

We knew from day one that this bus will need a lot of work, time and commitment to get it to the high level of quality we are aiming for. So what better way to show to the people the transformation this bus received than providing them with HUNDREDS of pictures? So we did! And I mean hundreds of pictures! From day one till now we snapped pictures of all the stages this bus has gone through. You will be truly amazed on how this bus went from 40+ years of age all the way up to dealership quality!

And most of all, the story of this bus goes deeper than “just a restoration” it is my story behind it. I truly believe that the person interested in this bus is not just “buying” the vehicle; but rather you are knowing my story, believing my dream and getting involved. Let’s share this adventure together.

Upon purchase of the vehicle you will receive a complimentary RESTORATION portfolio!

THE RESTORATION

“We have touched, refurbished, restored, replaced, examined everything on this bus”

BODYWORK-

Started with stripping the complete exterior, then cutting out all visible cancer and then was repaired with all original German metal. All body work done in metal with hammer and dolly, NO bondo was used, and any found on the vehicle was removed, minimal glaze was used to even the surface area after hammer and dolly work, then was sealed. High build primer was applied, sanded, and prepared for paint.

PAINT-

A gallon of single stage off white paint was applied in multiple coats on the top half and the complete interior of the bus then a gallon of beryl green was applied in multiple coats on the bottom half and into the engine compartment, then the exterior was color sanded and polished to give a long lasting shine. The engine compartment was finished off in black.

The rims were stripped to bare metal and painted to a durable shine with the same color applied to the bumpers. Then the complete under carriage including fender wells were prepped and painted with black under carriage spray to preserve and prevent rust and protect from gravel damage.

INTERIOR-

After the complete interior was removed all surface areas were prepped, and had a generous coat applied of rust converting and encapsulating black paint called POR 15.

Upholstery- the original upholstery material was removed from the frames and then the metal was prepped and coated with POR 15, reupholstered with high grade durable vinyl and tweed. A new vinyl headliner was installed of the original color and pattern. All new panels were purchased and wrapped to match the unique style of the seats.

ALL factory floor mats were replaced with NEW rubber copies of the original to provide original feel and durability. All vent windows were rebuilt to achieve original functionality and were reinstalled with high quality German seals.

Window regulators were cleaned and greased to provide smooth travel. Interior lights, handles, and cranks were replaced with quality reproductions to give the original feel and look.

EXTERIOR-

Fresh set of new tires p195/75R14 polished original deluxe trim, original glass, and every window and door seals replaced with brand new German seals. NEW windshield, original side glass, new stainless steel side mirrors, new head light rings, new VW emblems. Rebuild all vent windows.

DRIVETRAIN-

We started by stripping the 1600 engine down to the bare block. Took all the engine tins and stripped them down to bare metal and then did any needed repairs, sprayed them completely with the factor style black paint. The engine checked for tolerances then reassembled with new pistons, and barrels. The heads were machined and had all the parts restored or replaced with high quality replacement parts. The engine was reassembled with a real German gasket kit. The original carburetor and the distributor were rebuilt. A new and complete clutch system was installed. The transmission had the fluid removed, tolerances checked, and then rebuild gasket kit was installed. All new brake parts were installed.

DISCLAIMER-

Actual mileage is unknown. The mileage listed is what was read off the guage that was in the vehicle when the restoration ended. The bus is sold as is and has no warranty. If any issues come up with this bus within the first 30 days and is located within 200 miles of my location Ventura, Ca I will be happy to come and help resolve them.

VW quite interested in solid-state batteries for EVs

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Volkswagen is about to make a decision about which advanced battery technology the automaker will seriously investigate to give its electric vehicles more range. VW will decide by July if it will use solid-state batteries made by US-based QuantumScape Corp. in future EVs, according to Bloomberg News. Last year, VW bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape, which was founded by ex-Stanford University researchers. The lure is that QuantumScape's solid-state batteries may provide a single-charge range of as long as 430 miles. That's more than three times the current range of the VW e-Golf electric vehicle the company recently started selling to the public and is substantially longer than the single-charge range of the Tesla Model S electric sedan. The batteries are also fireproof, making VW's potential decision one with an eye towards more vehicle safety. Solid-state battery technology, in which solid lithium electrodes are used instead of liquid electrodes such as those in lithium-ion batteries, are the subject of research at other automakers and suppliers as well. Toyota says they could be here by 2020. Recently, the cordless vacuum cleaner maker Dyson acquired a $15-million equity stake in Michigan-based battery maker Sakti3 with the idea of using the startup's solid-state batteries in its products. General Motors also has a minority stake in Sakti3, which was spun off from the University of Michigan.

Volkswagen kills planned 10-speed DSG

Sat, Sep 19 2015

If there are two things in this wild and crazy industry that keep growing, they are the size of cars and the number of gears in their transmissions. It wasn't ten years ago that cars with six forward gears – either manually or automatically shifted Â– were a relative rarity. Now, there are a multitude of sub-$30,000 cars with at least a six-speed automatic. But while eight- and nine-speed automatics are becoming increasingly common, no automaker has delivered a production ten-speed automatic (which may be a good thing, considering the reception to most nine-speed gearboxes). Ford and General Motors were collaborating on one as recently as April 2013, and Hyundai has was allegedly working on one way back in 2011. Most recently, though, Volkswagen announced a ten-speed, dual-clutch automatic in November 2014. And now, less than two years later, the project has apparently been shelved. That's according to our Vegemite-loving friends at Motoring.com.au, which report that both the cost and complexity of project has proved unfeasible for VW. "In the end, we had to balance what our priorities were with our transmissions and other things are more important and more urgent," an unnamed source at the Frankfurt Motor Show told the Aussie website. The ten-speed DSG was slated for a number of three- and four-cylinder models from VAG's entire range of affordable vehicles. It was also, allegedly, to feature in the ultra-high-performance Golf R400, Motoring reports. It's unclear how its cancellation will impact the company's future projects, if VW will look elsewhere for its small-car gearboxes, of if there's another Â– perhaps conventional Â– new transmission in the pipeline. Currently, VW's highest gear-count dual-clutch is the seven-speed DSG, shown above with company CEO Martin Winterkorn.

Volkswagen Beetle special edition concepts hit NY [w/poll]

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Buying a retro hatchback or convertible like a VW Beetle is nothing if not a fashion statement, and nobody knows that better than Volkswagen itself. Which is likely why the German automaker is bringing four concept versions of the Bug to the New York Auto Show this year. Most intriguing of the quartet – to our eyes at least Â– is the Beetle R-Line concept, which takes a more performance-oriented approach. It's got 20-inch alloys riding on a wider track, an aero pack including a rear diffuser and spoiler, and black trim that looks great in contrast to the white pearl finish. The interior has been upgraded, as well, with sport buckets, carbon trim and yellow details, and the concept is powered by the 2.0-liter TSI engine with 217 horsepower. The R-Line concept won't be taking the stage alone, however, joined as it will be by the magenta-sprayed Pink Color Edition hatch, the beach-themed Wave and jeans-wearing Denim edition convertibles. Though all are billed strictly as showcars for the time being, VW admits it will be gauging public reaction to all four to determine potentially putting them into production for public consumption. So, that in mind, have a look at all the concepts in the gallery above, and tell us which one you like best in the poll below. VOLKSWAGEN AT THE 2015 NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW - Four Beetle Special Edition concepts introduced: Beetle Convertible Denim, Beetle R-Line, Beetle Convertible Surfer, and Beetle Pink Color Edition - All-wheel-drive Golf SportWagen Alltrack announced for production in 2016 - Volkswagen celebrates 60 years of Beetle heritage New York, New York - Volkswagen of America, Inc., today announced that it will produce the all-wheel-drive Golf SportWagen Alltrack for the U.S. market beginning in 2016, and showed four unique Beetle and Beetle Convertible models that help to commemorate Volkswagen of America's 60th anniversary. Golf SportWagen Alltrack Coinciding with the arrival of the all-new Golf SportWagen, currently available in dealer showrooms, Volkswagen is pleased to announce that the all-wheel-drive Alltrack model will go on sale in 2016 as a 2017 model. "We have heard from dealers and customers that they want to see a Golf SportWagen with the all-terrain capability that comes from all-wheel drive," said Michael Horn, President and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
