California id plate still present below Westfalia plate. The bus is arrow strait. There are some minor dings and dents. There is NO BONDO on this van. I chose not to touch up the paint and let the van wear its dings and scrapes with pride. I took the van to a very good detail shop to have the paint polished. It turned out beautiful. This van has been mainly garaged or kept under cover all these years. The battery tray does have some corrosion (not rust).

The heater works extremely well in this bus do to the factory VW bus heater boxes. Rare factory tow hitch. I spent countless hours preserving this rare bus. I have regretfully decided to sell this bus out of my personal collection. I intentionally did not do any paint touch up on the body. I spent hours removing small areas of primer put over the nicks and scratches on the paint to reveal the amazing og paint. I did not clear coat over the dings, instead I keep the bus stored inside my shop and keep a light coat of grease over the nicks and a few of the small dents/scrapes to prevent surface rusting. I know this seems a bit extreme but I wanted to be able to say this bus has 100% original paint. The interior was kept as original as possible. only replacing the seat upholstery, door panels and a few other odds and ends. When you see the pictures of this bus you will see all the imperfections are shown with pride on this bus. There are many things I have done to this bus I have not listed as there is to much to list. With the updated 1776 Super Street motor, freeway flyer transmission and suspension and brake work this bus runs and drives amazing with quite a bit more power and better gearing than stock making this bus perfect for cross country/ long distance driving. No expense or man hours were spared on this build. 1971 is the most sought after year for collectors as its the last year for the upright motor, first year of the disc brakes and still retains the classic bumpers and low lights. Feel free to call with any questions as there is way to much to list. Very hard to find a documented rust free California bus in this kind of original condition. This bus has 85k original miles as documented on the service stickers on the driver side door jamb. This is a no story's bus with no hidden problems like so many other "restored buses" on the market today. This is the perfect center piece for any VW collection. **** I can have this bus shipped to your front door at whole sale cost I also can ship world wide ** Over 270 Additional pictures and information as well as other nice VW buses can be seen on my web site WESTCOASTSAMBA .

Winterkorn will leave remaining VW posts by end of the month
Tue, Oct 13 2015After stepping down as chief executive of the Volkswagen Group last month, Martin Winterkorn still retains a few key positions within and related to the German automaker. According to the latest reports, he's set to resign from those positions as well in the coming days. Aside from his former position as chairman of VW's executive board, Winterkorn has also served (and continues to serve at present) as chairman of the supervisory boards of Audi, truck manufacturer Scania (which is owned by VW), and the group's Truck & Bus division (of which Scania is part alongside Man). He's also the chief executive of Volkswagen's largest stakeholder Porsche SE, having taken up the position after the Porsche/Piech family enterprise acquired its majority stake in the group that also subsumed the sports car manufacturer. In what could prove a strong indicator of things to come, and according to the report from Reuters, Winterkorn was not present at a recent meeting of Audi's board. In his place, the meeting was presided over by deputy chairman Berthold Huber. The former labor leader also served as interim chairman of the VW board after Ferdinand Piech's departure but before CFO Hans Dieter Potsch was named to the post. The companies in question have yet to make any announcements regarding Winterkorn's remaining positions, or confirm the reports regarding his future. However parties close to the automaker and its owners reportedly expect the resignations from those positions to come as well before the end of the month, if not before the week is out.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
8 new cars that are selling below MSRP
Thu, Nov 30 2023Car shopping has been a frustrating activity for many people in recent years, as strained new car inventories have led to markups and elevated prices across the board. It’s been difficult to find vehicles at anywhere near a reasonable price, and some in-demand models are still listed at a premium today. iSeeCarsÂ’ most recent study looked at several aspects of the new and used vehicle markets and found a handful of models that are selling at a discount – a rarity in todayÂ’s world. Most of the vehicles selling below MSRP in October were electric, though the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80 made the top eight. To be clear, weÂ’re not talking about huge discounts here – the Kia EV6 was selling with the largest discount of 3.1%. The other models on the list include: Kia EV6: -3.1 percent off MSRP Ford F-150 hybrid: -2.8% Hyundai Ioniq 6: -2.7% Nissan Armada: -1.8% Hyundai Ioniq 5: -0.9% VW ID.4: -0.6% Kia Niro EV: -0.3% Infiniti QX80: -0.2% Electric and hybrid vehicles like the Kia and Ford have been selling at a premium for a long time, as they experienced stronger than expected demand and had challenging early production runs. That theyÂ’re now selling at a discount could indicate wavering buyer demand, but itÂ’s too early to start sounding any serious alarm bells. Though some models are getting cheaper, the industry average is still heading in the wrong direction. The average MSRP of new cars sold last month was $42,510, while the average sales price was $46,077. That 8.4% overage is surprising to see so many months after the worst of the pandemic has passed. iSeeCarsÂ’ executive analyst Karl Brauer had a few words of encouragement, however, saying, “There are still very few ‘dealsÂ’ in the new car market. Shoppers looking to pay below MSRP for a new car will have to do their research, but a small number of models can be bought below sticker price.” Green Ford Hyundai Infiniti Kia Nissan Volkswagen Car Buying cheap cars
