1971 Volkswagen 'WALK-THRU' Bus....I'm listing this vehicle for a friend. She's an older lady that bought it about 15 years ago, drove it for about a year and parked it in a covered carport at her home. From what I can see this is an all original bus, except the radio. Overall condition of the body is very good (never been cut). No major dents (and very few small ones, if any at all), sliding door is in good working condition, deck lid and rear hatch open and close with no problems, both driver and passenger doors open and close with no problems, windows roll up & down, side windows open & close, all glass in good, original condition. Tires are good, stock steel rims with hubcaps...this van has the fold-up bed, fold-up table. The interior is all original, all vinyl in good condition (rear seat vinyl is good, it's just covered with blanket - sorry). Original wood panel headliner fair condition...dashboard is good, has a radio (not stock). As far as I know all electrical works. Good battery...brakes are good, e-brake good transmission is good...As you are aware, if your a Volkswagen person, almost every Volkswagen has some rust issues....some are very rusty, and some have very little rust. I looked this bus over (body and frame) floors are very solid, front end (nose) is good (might have emblem) and with just minor surface rust...this one is very solid, with very little rust! Now about the motor...it's a 1600 duel port, standard engine...it does run, however it hesitates. She took it to the local Bugformance (in San Jose) and they noted on her paperwork that the distributor vacuum pod not correct ...recommend fresh air hoses. Not sure of exact mileage, odometer reads: 58048.0 She has the receipts for recent work done. This bus is currently registered and insured, pink slip is clear. Please review all pictures....if you have any questions, or would like a picture of a particular area please email me. My name is Bruce and you are welcome to call my cell number 408 317 8076. If your local and would like to see the bus, please call for an appointment. And to be clear, this bus is being sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS. Overseas buyers welcome, east coast buyers welcome. Once you have made contact with a shipper I will be available to meet and assist your shipper. Bottom line: this is a nice original bus - good luck bidding!

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
