California id plate still present below Westfalia plate. The bus is arrow strait. There are some minor dings and dents. There is NO BONDO on this van. I chose not to touch up the paint and let the van wear its dings and scrapes with pride. I took the van to a very good detail shop to have the paint polished. It turned out beautiful. This van has been mainly garaged or kept under cover all these years. The battery tray does have some corrosion (not rust).

The heater works extremely well in this bus do to the factory VW bus heater boxes. Rare factory tow hitch. I spent countless hours preserving this rare bus. I have regretfully decided to sell this bus out of my personal collection. I intentionally did not do any paint touch up on the body. I spent hours removing small areas of primer put over the nicks and scratches on the paint to reveal the amazing og paint. I did not clear coat over the dings, instead I keep the bus stored inside my shop and keep a light coat of grease over the nicks and a few of the small dents/scrapes to prevent surface rusting. I know this seems a bit extreme but I wanted to be able to say this bus has 100% original paint. The interior was kept as original as possible. only replacing the seat upholstery, door panels and a few other odds and ends. When you see the pictures of this bus you will see all the imperfections are shown with pride on this bus. There are many things I have done to this bus I have not listed as there is to much to list. With the updated 1776 Super Street motor, freeway flyer transmission and suspension and brake work this bus runs and drives amazing with quite a bit more power and better gearing than stock making this bus perfect for cross country/ long distance driving. No expense or man hours were spared on this build. 1971 is the most sought after year for collectors as its the last year for the upright motor, first year of the disc brakes and still retains the classic bumpers and low lights. Feel free to call with any questions as there is way to much to list. Very hard to find a documented rust free California bus in this kind of original condition. This bus has 85k original miles as documented on the service stickers on the driver side door jamb. This is a no story's bus with no hidden problems like so many other "restored buses" on the market today. This is the perfect center piece for any VW collection. **** I can have this bus shipped to your front door at whole sale cost I also can ship world wide ** Over 270 Additional pictures and information as well as other nice VW buses can be seen on my web site WESTCOASTSAMBA .

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
