Here is a 1960 VW, Bus Double Door Camper. It has been sitting in a barn since 1989 when it was parked because of a bad motor. I bought it from the Older guy that drove it from California in 89. He removed the motor way back then and never got to fixing it or doing anything with the bus. When I bought it the motor was still sitting next to it inside the barn. We loaded it inside before towing it out. The rear California Black plate &  dealer plate surround are not included. The front plate & partial surround is included. This bus was manufactured  Dec. 23rd of 1959.  For a Jan 1960 delivery. It is a 215 model . There are camper windows installed , wood trim & paneling, some cabinet brackets & holes, Awning mounts on both sides of the roof, delivered Grey in color. All this leads to it being an aftermarket camper conversion, NOT a Westfalia Camper. The bus comes just as it is shown. It didn't have any camper interior when I got it. The previous owner says his Aunt & uncle had removed all the interior for more usable space as a van. The miles are 43268 on the odometer , The previous owner thinks they are correct. He acquired the bus from his aunt out on a Farm in California. The engine # that is inside the bus is D 1449943.

The bus is really solid. There are only a few minor areas of rust to deal with. There was an area of the inside cargo floor that was rusted out and some critters made a home inside the belly pans. The critters urine & feces ate through a small area of the belly pan. I cut out the bad section of cargo floor to clean the nest & crap out of there. There is a picture showing this area. The battery tray area is bad, pic also. The pass side front floor section & a small area of the inside dogleg ( see pics). The drivers side rear panel from the cargo door lower hinge back to the rear corner has some dents & rust. I have tons of pictures but, I can only load 24. I have a few videos of me going along under the bus with a hammer hitting all over the place to show how solid it is. If you are seriously interested , get me your email and I'll send you all the additional pics & vids. This bus rolls easy, Parking brake works, tires hold air. You could be driving this with minimal work while you pick away at it or do a full resto. Sky's the limit....

This bus being a 215 Model Double Door Panel , MAKES it pretty rare. I don't really want to sell it but , I have way to many Other projects & vehicles and I wouldn't get to this for a long time. I think my reserve is very fair for this bus. If you are serious about making a Buy it Now offer , Then go ahead and shoot me a message. I AM WELL AWARE  OF WHAT THE MARKET IS ON THESE VW's ! I have also had many vehicles come & go from all over the world. So, rest assured this would be a smooth transaction for you. I will be around for assistance, loading for transport. This is also being offered locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking & good luck bidding !!!! NH DOESN'T title vehicles over 15 years old. This will come with a current reg. & a Bill of sale. You can verify this on the NH RMV website. I have sold many, many vehicles like this and There have been no issues for the buyers.

Piech's dismissal from VW came after failed coup to oust Winterkorn

Mon, Apr 27 2015

When the Volkswagen board ousted its chairman Ferdinand Piech over the weekend, we knew right away it had something to do with disapproval of chief executive Martin Winterkorn. And now we have more details of how that struggle reportedly came to a head. According to Reuters, Piech undertook a cloak-and-dagger campaign to oust Winterkorn as CEO, even after having publicly endorsed the top executive's leadership of the company. Piech reportedly focused on other members of his family – descendants of Ferdinand Porsche and majority stakeholders in Volkswagen – to install Porsche chief Matthias Mueller as group CEO in Winterkorn's stead. But Piech failed in his campaign, and was given an ultimatum by the board: either show yourself out or we'll kick you out. And so he resigned. A big part of Winterkorn's rescue and Piech's failure reportedly came at the hands of labor representatives on the VW board, like Berthold Huber who was appointed as acting chairman following Piech's departure. That may leave Winterkorn still in charge, but may leave him beholden to the unions even more than before. Winterkorn has been undertaking a concerted campaign to cut overhead costs at VW, but the trade unions have reportedly been blocking many of the steps the chief exec has proposed. The next big question is who will ultimately replace Piech in the long term at the head of the board table. Winterkorn could get the nod, leaving the company to find a new CEO to take his place. Another likely scenario, however, would be another member of the Porsche/Piech family taking the helm and leaving Winterkorn in place. Whether Ferdinand Piech ultimately sells his 13.2 percent stake in the company (likely to other members of his family) or holds on to it and exerts influence behind the scenes is an open question. One way or another, any major appointment at the head of either the management or supervisory board will require support from the Porsche/Piech family, from the works council of labor representatives and from the state government of Lower Saxony, so the process of filling Piech's vacancy will likely prove anything but straightforward.

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries

Mon, Dec 8 2014

VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry.

Head of dieselgate clean up set to leave Volkswagen after a year on the job

Thu, Jan 26 2017

After just over a year on the job, Volkswagen's compliance chief Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt is set to leave the automaker by the end of the month. In an announcement, Volkswagen confirmed the departure, saying the separation was due to a difference of opinions regarding the role and duties of the compliance chief. Automotive News Europe reports that there were frequent clashes between Hohmann-Dennhardt and senior Volkswagen employees. Hohmann-Dennhardt was brought in on last year to help manage the cleanup in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. She came over to Volkswagen from Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz. Before that, she served as a judge in Germany's constitutional court. Volkswagen hasn't announced a replacement.
