This is a 1969 Bay Window Volkswagen (Type II) Transporter Panel Delivery (whew…I think I covered all of the possible names). This VW panel delivery is not only an early bay window bus, but also a rare find in the US. Due to the lovely Chicken Tax (google it) commercial Volkswagen’s commercial vehicles are harder to find here, because they were (and still are) very expensive to import. This is registered and insured in Kansas and tags will expire in June. It has been in Volkswagen original colors Neptune Blue and Ivory White. It is customized with an Eberspacher gasoline underbody heater. The heater is in great shape but needs a fan and a glow plug replaced to be functional. Poking around I found both of these items for less than $200 combined, so if you live somewhere cold this is a must have! This van features the walk-thru front seats for easy access to the cargo hold and a standard sliding side door on the passenger side. The cargo area on the bus is great if you’re a delivery guy. The original advertisement even boasted about how this model was “All business.” If you originally purchased this bus for leisurely drives and the option for some overnight camping, you were out of luck. You get the best of both worlds when you purchase this restomodded VW panel delivery. I’ve modified the interior with passenger seating by installing a ’74 double pullout rear z bed, and also installing a ’72 dash. There is an Allison electronic ignition installed so you won’t be required to adjust the points. The engine has been replaced with a 1600CC oil cooled motor, with a 4 speed transmission, has a Weber two-staged carb, and currently less than 10,000 miles on this engine. Rear engine seals have been replaced along with the clutch. Lucky for you, this has been garage kept and maintained and boy does she shine. This is a great bus as an everyday driver and starts right up with a charged battery. I had planned on finishing up fully restoring it, but life happens. This bus is perfect for anyone wanting a bus to personalize, without having to put all of the work into restoring it. This bus is essentially a blank canvas ready to be made into whatever dream you have for it. The windowless panels definitely allow for some awesome paint jobs, and this bus is ready to be customized as an off-roader too, as the rear-wheel wells were customized at some point and will allow for larger/taller/wider wheels. This car made sense as a single dude…but now my rapidly expanding family requires a more modern vehicle. It may need some adjustments as it has only been driven once or twice a month lately, but the motor runs and the brakes stop. The rims are VW stamped standard wide 5 rims. The half-moon domes are missing, but the clips are present to make attaching them a breeze. The rear tires are Tiger Paws and the front tires are Pirelli Street tire. Both are in good condition with lightly worn tread. Original drum brakes are working fine. All lights on the vehicle work and ventilation system is in working condition as well. There is an aftermarket roof vent that was installed. This is brand-new and doesn’t leak. The body of this panel delivery is in excellent shape after all metal being restored. All necessary rust has been restored and only normal surface rust on the undercarriage is present. The front bumper was not reattached as it was too badly damaged and the wingsteps were missing. It can still be attached; you would just need to put a little more work into it. I have additional parts that I will be including with the sale as well: A Brazilian made 009 distributor complete with extra cap, points, and condenser, a rear interior spare tire cover (black plastic w/ VW logo), front VW logo is included but not attached, rear “Volkswagen” type logo included but not attached, original am/fm antenna (working), a rolling VW engine stand, extra lens covers and rings for back lights, and rings only for front lights, and a grey canvas “Rocky Mountain Motorworks Cover”. The interior is almost complete, and would just need some finishing touches to look pristine. The window seals, felts, and scrapers have all been replaced. The rear-hatch and side-door seals are in good shape. Seats up front are from a ’72 bus. They are high back bucket seats. They need new upholstery and padding, but all mechanical parts are in working condition. They currently have sheepskin covers which work great, look cool and are included with this purchase. The double rear z bed offers different seating arrangements so it can be customized to meet different needs. Concerts or campouts, this bus will get you there and back. This is a great driver and with a bit more work will be choice. Whether this bus is for you or your child as they venture out into the world, memories will be made that will last a lifetime.

Coronavirus prompts VW to stop production throughout Europe
Tue, Mar 17 2020FRANKFURT — Volkswagen Group, the world's biggest carmaker, is suspending production at factories across Europe as the coronavirus pandemic hits sales and disrupts supply chains, the company said on Tuesday. The German carmaker, which owns the Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat and Skoda brands, also said that uncertainty about the fallout from coronavirus meant it was impossible to give forecasts for its performance this year. "Given the present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants, production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by group brands," Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Tuesday. Volkswagen's powerful works council concluded it was not possible for workers to maintain a safe distance from each other to prevent contagion and recommended a suspension of production at its factories from Friday. Production will be halted at VW's Spanish plants, in Setubal in Portugal, Bratislava in Slovakia and at the Lamborghini and Ducati plants in Italy before the end of this week, Diess said. Most of its other German and European factories will prepare to suspend production, probably for two to three weeks, while Audi said separately it would halt output at its plants in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Mexico. Volkswagen's vast factories in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in Puebla, Mexico, and plants in Brazil were not affected, but that would depend on how the coronavirus spreads, VW said. Volkswagen has 124 production sites worldwide of which 72 are in Europe, with 28 in Germany alone. "2020 will be a very difficult year. The coronavirus pandemic presents us with unknown operational and financial challenges. At the same time, there are concerns about sustained economic impacts," Diess said. Â Production in China resumes Volkswagen Group sold 10.96 million vehicles last year, putting it ahead of Toyota based on the latest figures from the Japanese carmaker. Globally, VW employs 671,000 people and it delivered 4.86 million vehicles to European customers in 2019. Only last month the car and truck maker based in Wolfsburg, Germany, predicted that vehicle deliveries this year would match 2019 sales and forecast an operating return on sales in the range of 6.5% to 7.5%. "The spread of coronavirus is currently impacting the global economy. It is uncertain how severely or for how long this will also affect the Volkswagen Group.
Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Audi announce Takata recalls
Wed, Feb 10 2016Daimler, Volkswagen, and Audi will recall nearly 1.7 million total vehicles in the US to replace their Takata airbag inflators. The Japanese parts supplier and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced in late January that several automakers would need to fix around five million more vehicles, and the various companies have been releasing the details since then. Daimler has a recall for 841,000 vehicles in the US, including 705,000 from Mercedes-Benz and 136,000 from the company's van division. Reuters reports the affected models consist of 2005-2014 examples of the SLK-Class, C-Class, E-Class, M-Class, GL-Class, R-Class, and SLS-Class. The vans comprise the 2007-2014 models of the Dodge, Freightliner, and Mercedes Sprinter. Autoblog reached out to Mercedes USA to confirm these details, and we're awaiting a reply. Daimler expects the repair campaign to cost 340 million euros ($382 million at current rates). The company will book the costs as part of its financial year 2015 results, and net profit for that year will fall to 8.7 billion euros ($9.8 billion). Volkswagen's recall covers 680,000 vehicles in the US to replace their driver side airbags. The affected models have Takata's SDI and PSDI-5 inflators, which could rupture in an crash, but the automaker isn't aware of any explosions for these parts in its products. This campaign includes: 2006-2010 Passat Sedan and Wagon (German Production) 2012-2014 Eos 2010-2014 Golf 2010-2014 Jetta SportWagen 2012-2014 Passat (U.S. Production) 2009-2014 CC There are also 170,000 Audi vehicles with the SDI and PSDI-5 inflators in the US, but there are no reports of the parts rupturing in the company's models. The affected products are: 2005-2013 A3 2006-2009 A4 Cabrio 2009-2012 Q5 2010-2011 A5 Cabrio VW and Audi are still working to identify the specific VINs for these vehicles. Afterwards, they will notify affected owners. Ford, Mazda, and Honda already announced details for their new round of Takata repairs. VW and Audi also recalled a small number of Tiguans and Q5s to replace their side airbag inflators from the Japanese company. NHTSA still expects BMW and Saab to detail expanded safety campaigns.
VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
