The rest of the floor is in good condition with minimal cancer below side doors and bottom behind driver's side door. Driver's side rear is smashed in, but Bus comes with replacement panel (hard to find and EXPENSIVE). Damage has not effected driveability. Was driven daily by my son for over 3 years and previous owner drove it from Redding, CA to LA and back with no handling issues.Rear bumper is included, but will not fit with current exhaust system. Bus starts, runs, drives and stops. There is a problem with the idle - it either idles too high or dies when you come to a stop. Can't seem to get it right, but a mechanic or someone with the know-how can probably fix it easily. Wipers are not currently hooked up, but 12V wiper motor and arms are included. Already set up for Safari Windows in front (windows not included)"

This is a great little '64 bus with great potential.  This was supposed to be a Father-Son project, but the son wasn't as excited about the restoration as Dad. So, we put a new engine and trans, fixed a few things and reupholstered the seats and he drove it.  The rest of it just never got finished.   The bus starts, runs, drives and stops.  It has an idle problem. it either idles too high or dies when you stop.  Can't seem to get it right, but a mechanic or someone mechanical should be able to correct it easily.  It has been converted to 12V system.  Windshield Wipers are not installed, but wiper motor and wiper arms are included.  Minor cancer in typical places and hole in driver's side floor.  The only major issue with the body is the driver's side rear.  It was hit and mangled pretty badly.  Previous owner(s) tried to pound it out, but it's still ugly.  However, a hard to find (and expensive) replacement panel is included with sale (see pictures).  I just don't have the time to fix it and have several other projects. Engine has been updated to 1641 CC motor and Freeway Flyer transaxle.  This makes it fun and really surprises other drivers at stop lights!  All in all it's a good starter project and could actually be a fairly painless restoration. This Bus has a clear CA Title and is currently on CA Non-Op status - which, if you have ever had to deal with will save you a bunch of money as well as a WHOLE lot time.  Ready to drive after registration, but would want to go through everything before taking off on a cross-country tour......  Not trying to represent this as something that it's not, so PLEASE ask questions if you have them.

VW's credit ratings could take a beating

Fri, Sep 25 2015

In addition to a significant drop in its share price already, Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal is continuing to have major financial repercussions on the German automaker. According to The Detroit News, credit rating agencies like Standard & Poor's and Moody's changed their forecasts on the company to negative, and Fitch has considered doing so, as well. Volkswagen appears to have the money to cover the costs of this ordeal, but the agencies question the effect that this has in the long term. "Moody's concern, however, is that Volkswagen's alleged breach of US environment rules and, especially, the process by which that breach occurred, will have an adverse effect on its reputation and credibility within the global passenger car markets," the company wrote in a note to investors, according to The Detroit News. VW has initially set aside $7.25 billion to fix things, but the potential shakeup of top executives has caused some investor uncertainty, too. The actual costs for VW to deal with this scandal are still unknown. In the US, the Department of Justice has begun a criminal investigation, and with other automakers the government has settled for $900 million against General Motors and $1.2 billion against Toyota. Attorneys general in 29 states have started looking deeper, according to The Detroit News, and regulators in Europe, South Korea, and Canada have commenced their own probes, as well. Related Video:

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
