Vw Bus 13 Window Walk Through Microbus With Own. Manuals And Service Booklet on 2040-cars
Tiffin, Ohio, United States
|
You are bidding on my pride and joy 1965 walk through bus. I had planned on restoring this beauty, but 3 kids later I don't see this happening in the near future. I want it to go to someone who will appreciate as much as me and my kids. The bus comes with the original owners manual and service booklet. It has a clear Ohio title. Someone that i knew owned the bus and his daughters ran it out of oil in 1972. As a punishment their father put it in their building and let it sit until i rescued it in approximately 2005. It has been in my garage since, with the exception of trips to the VW mechanic.
It is a Project 13 window Deluxe Microbus (Gus the Bus). This bus has all parts. The rear bumber is bent and not attached to the bus. The original engine is sitting in the bus. We replaced it with an engine from a 1973 beetle and converted it to 12 volt. It needs an ignition lock cylinder, unless i am able to locate the keys. They are around here somewhere. It needs brakes. It does roll and turn freely. This bus does run and run well. It also has a brand new exhaust system. The engine that is in it has been gone through by a Volkswagen mechanic and is solid. I tried to take lots of photos please feel free to ask me questions. Pick up only in Ohio. Cash accepted. Cashiers check, title released upon clearance by my bank. |

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
