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) |

Audi buys Ballard fuel cell patents for $80 million
Wed, Feb 11 2015While some auto companies (e.g., Toyota and Hyundai) are giving away some hydrogen fuel cell patents, others are paying a pretty penny to gain access to the H2 tech. Audi announced today that it has purchased a suite of fuel-cell patent from Ballard Power Systems. The deal between Volkswagen Group and the Canadian fuel cell pioneer is worth over $80 million US. Unsurprisingly, the value of Ballard's stock shot up about a dollar (to $2.61 as of this writing) on the announcement. VW and Ballard will also extend their development agreement, originally scheduled to end in 2017, to March 2019, and possibly another two years after that. Thus far, the deal – which revolves around the "design and manufacture of next-generation fuel cell stacks" for VW's H2 demonstration program – and Ballard says it is a leader in "critical areas of fuel cell product design – including the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), plate and stack components – along with certain testing and integration work." At the LA Auto Show last fall, VW showed off a Golf SportWagen and a Passat with a hydrogen hybrid HyMotion powertrain as well as a Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron Quattro. Audi buys fuel-cell patents from Ballard Power Systems Development agreement with Ballard extended until 2019 Audi's Head of Development Prof. Hackenberg: "The entire VW Group will use these patents." Ingolstadt/Burnaby, February 11, 2015 – AUDI AG has acquired a package of patents relating to fuel-cell technology from Ballard Power Systems Inc. In addition, the Volkswagen Group has extended its cooperation with the Canadian clean energy company until 2019. The purchase of these patents will provide new impetus for the development of fuel-cell drive systems at Audi, VW and the Volkswagen Group. As explained by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG and responsible for the steering of the development departments of all brands in the VW Group: "Audi is acquiring these strategically important patents for the entire group and will make them available to all the brands. In this way, we are securing crucial expertise that will provide new impetus for the further development of this technology." Ballard Power Systems Inc. is based in Burnaby, Canada, and is one of the world's leading companies in the technology of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
Who wants to pay a million dollars for a VW Beetle?
Mon, Jun 1 2015The Volkswagen Beetle was always envisioned as a cheap mode of transportation, but now one is being offered for over $1 million by a dealer in the company's home base of Wolfsburg, Germany. So just what makes this Beetle so special? It's not the first one made, and it's not the last one made – but it comes close: This particular example is an Ultima Edicion – one of the final Bugs made in Mexico before production ended even there in 2003. It's decked out in beige with a black fabric interior and none – repeat, none – of the bells and whistles. With less than 75 miles on the odometer, it offers one wealthy buyer the rare opportunity to get an original Beetle (not some modernized incarnation thereof) in factory-fresh condition, which no one has been able to do for over a dozen years now. Does that make it worth the million-euro ($1.1M) asking price? Not if you ask us, no. But then we wouldn't count ourselves among the most dedicated Beetle fanatics out there.
Volkswagen plans expansion, tech center in Chattanooga
Tue, Apr 7 2015Volkswagen is expanding its growing Chattanooga, TN, factory by even more than the original plans after winning the local government's approval. The German automaker announced its intention last year to invest $900 million to add 538,000 square feet of floor space to the plant, which would add 2,000 new jobs. The company just went back to the city for permission to increase the expansion by a further 130,153 square feet for an even larger body shop. The extra construction is estimated to cost around $18 million. VW spokesperson Catharina Mette described the decision as "a cost-saving option," to Autoblog. "Taking this action now saves money while giving us flexibility as we integrate the MQB platform in the future," she said. By the end of 2016, the Chattanooga plant will begin production of VW's forthcoming crossover, which should look similar to the Cross Coupe GTE concept. VW has further plans for the research, development, and planning center near the factory. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, some of the designers and engineers will start work at a temporary facility there next week. A permanent location will open in 2017 with a test track and space to perform crash evaluations. The engineering center is meant to speed up the rate of vehicle development to bring models to the North American market more quickly."This will be the central entity in all the US, and hopefully all of North America," Matthias Erb, who oversees the center, said to the newspaper.
