Vw Bus Double Cab 1964 Volkswagon (crew Cab) on 2040-cars
Shakopee, Minnesota, United States
|
1964 Double cab. - 1600 Dual Port built by Jeff Wilson at Mears Metal Products (http://www.mearsracing.com/) with less than 1500 miles since he built the motor. This bus is mechanically sound and goes down the road. - Original Canvas structure included for the coverd wagon look (Canvas is long gone) which is amazing to still have this. - 85k we believe original miles as the odometer works - 12 volt conversion - Progressive Weber Carb - Tires as new - Brakes excellent - Reduction boxes sealed and do not leak - This bus drives and stops and goes down the road without issue This is my fathers and he has had this since the mid 90s. this bus is stored the last 40 years and sees less than 100 miles a year. It has been repainted on the outside and the paint is showing it's age. It photo graphs beeter than it looks in person. I do not want to say Nicest VW in city etc. because condition is relative to someones expectations. It can be seen in person in Minneapolis, MN so please understand we are making our best attempt to accurately describe this bus. The Good: - One of the best motor builders in the world is a family friend and built this engine as a favor - Mechanically Sound - Original Canvas metal frame and wooden bows - This bus even accelerates up hill and is a great driver. - Tailgate and folding sides all solid The Bad: - Paint is showing it's age (Chiping paint on drivers side where folding gate drops. Chipped paint where seat belts fall out and hit the side) - Drivers side eye window latch broken - Rubber seals around windows / doors deterating - Some corrosion underneath. it was addressed and undercoated - Canvas missing for covered wagon (You can get new canvas as the Frame and structure is included) - It was a exterior repaint in the early 80's - 1964 this is not a restored bus and will show flaws that are normal for a 50 yearold vehicle
This bus can be inspected by serious buyers, it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime for any reason. Please understand I am not looking for advice or knowledge and would appreciate only serious inquires and not someone who is looking for a friend. The bus can be shipped overseas it has a clear Indiana title in prior owners name. It can stay for a few weeks as shipping is figured out as long as it is payed in full. Once this goes back to storage - that is where it will stay and I will wheel it out in 20 years and try again. |

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
