1973 Panel van up for bidding. This van is in very good shape for the year. The sliding door operates nicely as the track and supporting metal has been replaced, the driverside floorpan has also been repaired. The entire electrical system has been rewired and everything works as the factory intended some features like the headlights even better. It has new modern fuse and relay panels and metri-pack connectors throughout. The front end is tight and it rides very nicely down the road. The RA08 tires are nearly new as well as the front brakes including the rotors, rear brakes are also in fine working order. The front doors have new handles and locks. The windshield is recently replaced and is perfect. The fuel system including the tank and pump are new and the tank has a liner in it to keep it rust free for years to come. Interior is in fair shape, has a decent stereo. Trans works well and shifts well. The engine is a 1700 pancake style and has dropped a valve, so currently it is not running. With the addition off a rebuilt engine this bus is a daily driver, everything else mechanically is really in good shape. I have lots of parts and panels that go with, including a battery tray and driver side rocker repair panel, both of which it could use but not in dire need. The frame and underside are in amazing shape compared to most vehicles of this vintage. New clutch cable as well as the sleeve at the tranny that wears out. Heating system is in need of repair, I never drove it in the winter so it never bothered me. Some dumb@$$ previous owner cut holes in the rear panels but they have been repaired, one fairly well, one not so much but can be fixed up easily. Not really that noticeable but not that great either. If you are looking for a solid vintage bus to drive or build a project around this is the one you want. Panel vans are fairly rare and in my opinion super cool looking as vws go. I will help with shipping arrangements if necessary, at winners expense. Full payment within 3 days of auction end. Acceptable payment methods are, cash, cashiers check. Contact me to discuss other payment methods. Also feel free to contact me with questions

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
