After much thought, I have decided to list my 1965 VW Bus for sale.  It turns heads everywhere and brings lots of attention.  It is affectionately known as "Surf Patrol".  Born in Hawaii, I have restored this with an island theme even with two murals on the underside.  I love the islands and can imagine this bus as the perfect vehicle to drive around and check out beaches.  I will constantly try to update the listing as often as I think of more to add but I am not under any pressure to sell.  I did not make it to the last 3 shows that I wanted to attend which are part of the reason I am listing the bus.  I think that even though I love this bus, there might be someone out there that will love it the same and have more time to take it out.  With my oldest in high school sports and my youngest in middle school sports, time is hard to come buy and I love going to their games.  There are some little things here and there that still need attention, but it is a great bus. This bus is stored 100% of the time in my locked garage.  I also will include the car cover.  

Some of the features are as follows:  2387 cc Bergmann engine-hydraulic valves (don't need adjustment), dual empi carbs, remote oil cooler, braided oil lines,-dyno'd at 166hp, A-1 sidewinder exhaust (ceramic coated), 1.5qt additional oil sump, breather box, ragtop, modified roof rack to fit in the garage, custom gauge panel in dash, chrome 5 spoke empi wheels, Rancho Performance pro street transmission powdercoated in mercedes silver, new gas tank, headlights, turn signals, Banjo steering wheel,  restored middle seat, (previous owner didn't have the middle seat, they had a table) seat belts throughout, new rear end, dual master cylinder, safari front windows and side pop out windows, custom interior carpeting, interior panels and drapes.  I do have receipts for nearly everything since I have owned the bus.  I do have the stock wheels that match the bus though they need some attention.  I also have the original rear drums and lots of other vw stuff that I will package up and send with the bus.  (oil change gaskets, misc gaskets, misc parts, etc)    I do reserve the right to end this auction early as it is for sale locally as well.  I will not be disclosing the reserve price either, so don't both asking. I will relist if it doesn't sell and will be adding to the listing as necessary, either pics or descriptions.  In the event of a sale, I will hold title until payment is made in full.  If payment is not received within 7 days, I will re-list the bus.

German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.

Automakers drop support for Trump effort against California emissions

Tue, Feb 2 2021

WASHINGTON — Toyota, Fiat Chrysler (now known as Stellantis following its merger with Peugeot) and other major automakers said on Tuesday they were joining General Motors in abandoning support for former President Donald Trump's effort to bar California from setting its own zero emission vehicle rules. The automakers, which also included Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Subaru, said in a joint statement they were withdrawing from an ongoing legal challenge to California's emission-setting powers, "in a gesture of good faith and to find a constructive path forward" with President Joe Biden. The automakers, along with the National Automobile Dealers Association, said they were aligned "with the Biden administrationÂ’s goals to achieve year-over-year improvements in fuel economy standards." Nissan in December withdrew from the challenge after GM's decision in November shocked the industry and won praise from Biden. On Monday, the Justice Department asked the U.S. Appeals Court for the District of Columbia to put the California emissions litigation on hold to "ensure due respect for the prerogative of the executive branch to reconsider the policy decisions of a prior administration." Biden has directed agencies to quickly reconsider TrumpÂ’s 2019 decision to revoke CaliforniaÂ’s authority to set its own auto tailpipe emissions standards and require rising numbers of zero-emission vehicles, as well as Trump's national fuel economy rollback. Asked to respond to the automakers' action, White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy said in a statement that "after four years of putting us in reverse, it is time to restart and build a sustainable future, grow domestic manufacturing, and deliver clean cars for America." California Governor Gavin Newsom praised the automakers on Twitter for "dropping your climate-denying, air-polluting, Trump-era lawsuit against CA" and urged them to join the voluntary framework. TALKS WITH BIDEN Separately, an industry trade group on Tuesday proposed to start talks with Biden on revised fuel economy standards that would be higher than Trump-era standards but lower than ones set during the prior Democratic administration. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026, well below the 5% yearly boosts under the Obama administration rules it discarded.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
