You are bidding on a 1973 Volkswagen Type 2b Bus, also known as a Transporter, Kombi, Bay Window, or Late Bay Van. We purchased this van in 2009 as a project for my daughter, who wanted a “hippie van”. Now she’s about to graduate from college and it’s time to move on to the next project. When we bought it, it had “good bones” but needed some cosmetic help. Over the years we’ve cosmetically and mechanically “refreshed” the van. It’s been driven very little, but runs and drives great, even at highway speeds. It has low miles (68,000), and the body is straight. It also has the interior pieces in place for the rare A/C setup (not hooked up). Body/Cosmetics...We completely repainted the exterior and door jams. We gutted, sanded, and painted the interior floors and put down black and white check vinyl flooring in the middle/back and new carpet up front. We built a custom L-shaped lounge in the back, complete with new seat belts (also have original back bench if you want it). We reupholstered the front seats to match the back lounger and installed new seat belts, door panels, kick panels, and sun visors. We installed a nice Kenwood stereo with new speakers in the doors and under the back lounger. We replaced the front windshield (old one was cracked) and all the rubbers around the windows and doors. Mechanical...The engine (original, as far as I know) has always run well and has needed no work (but does leak a little oil). We have put in a new shifter and replaced the shift tubes and linkages to make it shift better. It has a new alternator. As you may know, factory installed gas tanks were made in such a way that they rust over time and clog the fuel system. We had our fuel tank removed and sent off to be completely cleaned and dipped (galvanized) to permanently eliminate that problem. We also installed a new fuel sending unit while the tank was out. It has new tires (<500 miles) and new exhaust/muffler. Good luck, and please, serious bidders only (someone who can pay for the car, as directed, if you are the winning bidder). Please, no scammers! |

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016
Mon, 13 Jan 2014On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
VW's Skoda says Ukraine partner making wire harnesses again
Tue, Mar 22 2022PRAGUE — Skoda Auto, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Tuesday its supply partner in Ukraine had decided to restart production of wire harnesses which should allow the Czech carmaker to resume production of its electric ENYAQ iV model. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has added to supply chain problems for global automakers — which were already struggling with semiconductor shortages that have cut production — with a break in deliveries of wire harnesses from the war-torn country. While Skoda, the Czech Republic's biggest exporter, said it expects the supply of semiconductors to improve in the second half of 2022, it said the war in Ukraine and supply bottlenecks will put a significant burden on its operating business. Skoda's 2021 deliveries fell 12.6% year-on-year and earlier this month it stopped production of the ENYAQ because of harness shortages, saying that two other models were at risk because of the lack of availability of the component. "Our partner ... in Ukraine decided to restart production of wire harnesses this week, with full service and full security for workers there," Karsten Schnake, Skoda's board member for purchasing, said during its online 2021 earnings presentation. Wire harnesses form a key part of a car's electrical system, which group and guide cables inside the vehicle. "We decided to double the production in case something is going wrong, and this production will be ramped up in an alternative factory," Schnake said, adding that work there would start in three or four weeks. "Hopefully we can restart production of ENYAQ one or two weeks later when we have wire harnesses," Schnake said. Skoda delivered 878,200 cars worldwide in 2021, the first time that this had fallen below the 1 million mark since 2013. Nevertheless, the VW group brand's sales revenue rose 3.9% to 17.7 billion euros ($19.5 billion) in 2021 and operating profit rose 43.2% to 1.1 billion euros ($1 billion) as it took cost measures. Skoda did not give a financial or production outlook, saying there were still considerable uncertainties as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and the impact on its Russian operations. Skoda, like VW, has suspended production and other business activities in Russia, which was its second-largest market last year, with 90,400 vehicles delivered.
