Shakopee, Minnesota, United States

1964 Double cab.

- 1600 Dual Port built by Jeff Wilson at Mears Metal Products (http://www.mearsracing.com/) with less than 1500 miles since he built the motor.  This bus is mechanically sound and goes down the road.

- Original Canvas structure included for the coverd wagon look (Canvas is long gone) which is amazing to still have this.

- 85k we believe original miles as the odometer works

- 12 volt conversion

- Progressive Weber Carb

- Tires as new

- Brakes excellent

- Reduction boxes sealed and do not leak

- This bus drives and stops and goes down the road without issue

This is my fathers and he has had this since the mid 90s.  this bus is stored the last 40 years and sees less than 100 miles a year.  It has been repainted on the outside and the paint is showing it's age.  It photo graphs beeter than it looks in person.  I do not want to say Nicest VW in city etc. because condition is relative to someones expectations.  It can be seen in person in Minneapolis, MN so please understand we are making our best attempt to accurately describe this bus.

The Good:

- One of the best motor builders in the world is a family friend and built this engine as a favor

- Mechanically Sound

- Original Canvas metal frame and wooden bows

- This bus even accelerates up hill and is a great driver. 

- Tailgate and folding sides all solid

The Bad:

- Paint is showing it's age (Chiping paint on drivers side where folding gate drops.  Chipped paint where seat belts fall out and hit the side)

- Drivers side eye window latch broken

- Rubber seals around windows / doors deterating

- Some corrosion underneath. it was addressed and undercoated

- Canvas missing for covered wagon (You can get new canvas as the Frame and structure is included)

- It was a exterior repaint in the early 80's

- 1964 this is not a restored bus and will show flaws that are normal for a 50 yearold vehicle

 

This bus can be inspected by serious buyers, it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime for any reason.  Please understand I am not looking for advice or knowledge and would appreciate only serious inquires and not someone who is looking for a friend. The bus can be shipped overseas it has a clear Indiana title in prior owners name. It can stay for a few weeks as shipping is figured out as long as it is payed in full. Once this goes back to storage - that is where it will stay and I will wheel it out in 20 years and try again.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
