Amazingly Rust Free Vw Deluxe Bus 13 Window 15 23 21 Window Clone Straight Samba on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
Very rare Bus. Excellent bus to do a 21 window clone with. Needs almost NO METAL WORK!!
The Bus has been tapped in the front and rear drivers corner only. Neither will require any metal replacement. Note the front valance has perfect curve and has no damage. It is skin only. Same with the rear corner. All taps with a hammer, no panel replacement. A qualified metal worker with a stud welder can pull these two dents and have them completely repaired in a day. From there notice all absolutely flawless door gaps. You cant find this in 2014. This is here because I knew what this Bus was a dozen years ago when I saved it from its destined to be used at that time. At that time I couldn't believe what I had. It has probably no miles on it, everything is in super nice shape and nothing really shows much use, just a lot of Az sun:) It is a good thing that i got distracted with my a.d.d. on a 21 window. I kept this Bus to clone a 21 with because it is a very perfect Bus. To graft in a top would be simple and this is the nicest framed and bodied Bus that i have ever come across in a deluxe so i have kept it. Lucky for the highest bidder, deluxe roofs are now being reproduced for around $5k, complete!!
And, most of the 21 windows that you've seen in the last few years are cloned copies. 3 of 4 Buses rolling out at famed Wcc are now cloned 21s! This is a very accepted way to have a 21, even M code plates are being reproduced. I am moving on to restore Porsches at a very highly acclaimed shop in S.F. and need to clear my yard. By definition; a barn find. Coming from the backyard of a Vw restoration shop owners personal barn.
I've been rolling in the dirt since before I could drive with rare early Vws and here is one of the best boned Buses that I have ever seen! Cheers! To the details...
The bus comes with no engine. I can supply a core 1600 single port complete engine for $1000. It is complete with all time, exhaust, etc but has locked up and been stored in the elements. Excellent core to start with. It is not original to this Bus but us an excellent core engine as it is complete down to the stock Bus exhaust tip.
Any questions please call me @ 650-863- seven969.
Vehicle is also available locally and has been presented to a group of friends and may sell locally, I may pull the ad and end the auction early in that event.. Please contact me with interest so I know to keep it up.
I have a clear title for the Bus. These are very rare Buses to come by. The last one that I saw anywhere near the condition sold for over 17k. That Bus was rusty and needed over 10k of metal work and a ton of time to be where this Bus is.
This Bus will sell. Be sure to get your bids in early!
Thanks,
Christopher

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
