1964 Double cab.

- 1600 Dual Port built by Jeff Wilson at Mears Metal Products (http://www.mearsracing.com/) with less than 1500 miles since he built the motor.  This bus is mechanically sound and goes down the road.

- Original Canvas structure included for the coverd wagon look (Canvas is long gone) which is amazing to still have this.

- 85k we believe original miles as the odometer works

- 12 volt conversion

- Progressive Weber Carb

- Tires as new

- Brakes excellent

- Reduction boxes sealed and do not leak

- This bus drives and stops and goes down the road without issue

This is my fathers and he has had this since the mid 90s.  this bus is stored the last 40 years and sees less than 100 miles a year.  It has been repainted on the outside and the paint is showing it's age.  It photo graphs beeter than it looks in person.  I do not want to say Nicest VW in city etc. because condition is relative to someones expectations.  It can be seen in person in Minneapolis, MN so please understand we are making our best attempt to accurately describe this bus.

The Good:

- One of the best motor builders in the world is a family friend and built this engine as a favor

- Mechanically Sound

- Original Canvas metal frame and wooden bows

- This bus even accelerates up hill and is a great driver. 

- Tailgate and folding sides all solid

The Bad:

- Paint is showing it's age (Chiping paint on drivers side where folding gate drops.  Chipped paint where seat belts fall out and hit the side)

- Drivers side eye window latch broken

- Rubber seals around windows / doors deterating

- Some corrosion underneath. it was addressed and undercoated

- Canvas missing for covered wagon (You can get new canvas as the Frame and structure is included)

- It was a exterior repaint in the early 80's

- 1964 this is not a restored bus and will show flaws that are normal for a 50 yearold vehicle

 

This bus can be inspected by serious buyers, it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime for any reason.  Please understand I am not looking for advice or knowledge and would appreciate only serious inquires and not someone who is looking for a friend. The bus can be shipped overseas it has a clear Indiana title in prior owners name. It can stay for a few weeks as shipping is figured out as long as it is payed in full. Once this goes back to storage - that is where it will stay and I will wheel it out in 20 years and try again.

Volkswagen, Bosch reach diesel settlement worth $1.6 billion

Wed, Feb 1 2017

Volkswagen Group of America and automotive parts maker Bosch reached a settlement in which the two companies will pay a combined $1.6 billion because of their roles in the automaker's diesel-emissions scandal. VW, Europe's largest automaker, will pay about $1.2 billion to either repair or buy back vehicles. Bosch said separately that it will pay more than $300 million to owners of diesel-powered Volkswagens, Audis, and Porsches. The settlement stems from emissions issues related to about 78,000 VW-made cars and SUVs with 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines that were sold in North America. VW will recall and repair about 58,000 vehicles made for the 2013-through-2016 model years. The company will also buy back, offer a trade-in credit, or terminate the leases for about 20,000 cars for the model years 2009 through 2012. The older impacted models are the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7, while the newer ones are the Touareg and Q7 as well as Audi's A6, A7, A8, A8L, and Q5 models, and finally the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. Previous reports estimated the payout at closer to $1 billion. The US settlement follows one reached last year between VW and US regulators in regards to VW's 2.0-liter diesel engines. That settlement was estimated to cost VW about $15 billion and impacted owners of about 500,000 vehicles. VW has had a stop-sale on its diesel vehicles in the US since late 2015 after it was discovered that VW installed software in its diesels that allowed those vehicles to cheat emissions-testing systems. VW on Wednesday also reiterated that it would contribute $225 million towards environmental-remediation efforts in the US. Volkswagen of America CEO Hinrich J. Woebcken, in Wednesday's statement, said that "we will continue to work to earn back the trust of all our stakeholders and thank our customers and dealers for their continued patience as this process moves forward."

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
