1969 VW Bus Westfalia This is a unique one of a kind custom restored bay window bus. We purchased and restored this one owner NEVADA bus (for my son who is 18) that is now off to college and needs a car with a/c. Our loss is your gain. Bummed but certainly not desperate. This is a super clean and straight, safe and solid 98% restored bus. This is a "TOP 20 of Show" winner and a very reliable daily driver. It has an original Nevada title and hence has little to no rust issues. Bus has current Nevada registration and Nevada tags. Camper pop-top was removed for a "beachy hard-top classic look". This Bus also has a new custom interior by Gene Gonzalez along with a state of the art sound system complete with blue tooth and a 10" base box that rocks. Photos speak for themselves. We (Me, my son and his Uncle) spent nearly 2 years rebuilding and restoring this bus. Basically went through each and every aspect of it and either renewed or replaced with new OEM parts. Too many to list but we do have most all receipts and records. New parts and components list available upon request for any and all serious buyers. PAINT/ BODY This one owner bus was stripped down to the shell, media blasted and then given a professional 2 stage window out paint job by Premier Auto Customs with no orange peel (There is small dings on back left corner. Nothing a bit of touch up paint couldn't fix). The bus was repainted the classic two tone look using the original VW Montana Red and off-white. Under carriage was sand blasted and we addressed the minimum rust issues it had. We then prepped and painted it as well. Installed over $300 in dyna-mat alone. Original chrome bumpers, detailed front beam , all new suspension, shocks, cv joints, brake lines and much, much more. All window & door seals were replaced with OEM German seals. Custom white european dash (cracking near the bottom by the parking brake) and hand painted steering wheel and brand new windshield too. Mom even made us add a deluxe custom frontal impact roll cage to the interior for her baby boys safety. INTERIOR This interior is a custom Gene Gonzalez design. The front seats were taken apart, re-stuffed and reupholstered. All seats have custom seat belts, no rips and are in near mint condition. All cabinets have been taken out and the bench seat has been extended to both sides. All interior panels were replaced with matching white panels. Custom white headliner too. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION Completely re-built 1600. Was a single port that we converted to dual port. New carb, distributer, alternator, battery, fly wheel , muffler exhaust, etc, etc. Painted the tins to match the bus. See Photos link above So as you can tell this is not your average '69 Westfalia Bus. This bus is in excellent condition with little to no rust. This was a full two year restoration. This bus has been garaged. Interior is in amazing shape and brand new. However,the bus still needs a couple of things. Namely a clock in the dash, rear view mirror, heater knobs and assorted knick knack stuff. This bus is a time capsule that you just don't see every day. This bus would be the perfect center piece for any VW collection. This bus can be used for car shows and or a daily driver. Feel free to call with additional questions. I have pictures before and after the restore. Come drive this sweet piece of nostalgia! Serious buyers only /or call/text to Steven Brooks (702-466-4805) |

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.
Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
