Here is your chance to own a very original 1968 Arizona Yellow Deluxe Van , This is a rare color combo that was only for 1968 . I purchased this great Vw bus from the second owner . Who told me the original owners owned this vehicle till just last year . I do not have records of these things, but the previous owner was a very honest person, so I believe her.. She had told me stories of how all the original owners children learned to drive in this vehicle and was loved by the original owners for over 40 years .

When I purchased the vehicle it was ready for some overhauling . I went through all the braking system, starting with all brake lines , wheel cylinders , brake shoes ,and had all the brake drums turned .
The body of this van is pretty amazing still retaining 95% of its Original Paint . It has had a couple touch ups over the years but is a very solid driver . Yes it does have a little paint fading ,couple dings here and there .But overall has pretty strong paint . I honestly love the way it looks and is nice enough to turn heads and not so nice your afraid to leave it in a parking lot . 
The front and rear floors did have replacement pieces welded in and floors resprayed the original color . The rocker panels and good and solid , and is in overall good condition .
The motor is a rebuilt 1600cc with a new alternator, new carb and distributor . the transmission was also gone through at the time of the motor rebuild . So if i had to describe how this bus runs and drives down the road . All I would say is Amazing ! It truly drives like and brand new Vw bus.
The interior is 100% Original, all seat covers , door panels , mats ,and headliner . and are in surprisingly good condition . The tires are brand new with less than 100 miles on them . Also a brand new roof rack was added . And looks great .
If you are looking for a Vw Bus in very good Original Condition with loads of character don't pass this one up . It drives so great who ever wins this auction will not be disappointed ..

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?

Fri, 16 May 2014

The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
