FOR SALE IS THIS 1968 VW BUS WITH LOTS OF MILES.....YOU MAY HAVE SEEN US AT VARIOUS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA VW SHOWS OR THE OREGON COUNTRY FAIR....

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET...THIS BUS HAS BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS, IT RAN WHEN IT WAS PARKED, THE MOTOR STILL TURNS OVER WHEN YOU USE A WRENCH ON THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY. THE MOTOR HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT AND THE LAST REBUILD WAS WITH 88mm SLIP IN PISTONS FROM NIPPON PISTON RING COMPANY. I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE THE HEADS WERE PURCHASED BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GERMAN PARTS THAT I HAD. THERE MIGHT STILL BE A FEW MILES LEFT IN THE MOTOR BEFORE A REBUILD IS NECESSARY. THE ENGINE CASE IS A VW UNIVERSAL REPLACEMENT CASE THAT HAS NO NUMBERS STAMPED ON IT

WE PARKED IT WHEN MY MOTHER IN LAW CAME TO LIVE WITH US AND WE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW SUV THAT SHE COULD GET IN AND OUT OF AND NO ONE WANTED TO DRIVE THIS OLD GIRL ANYMORE

THE FRONT SEATS CAME FROM A VOLVO. NO SEAT BELTS. TIRES ARE LIKE NEW. LOTS OF LITTLE GOODIES ARE ON THIS RIG AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES. I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN BELTLINE TRIM SETS IN MUCH WORSE CONDITION THAN THIS GO FOR $200 +. THE WINDOWS(AIR CONDITIONERS) ROLL UP AND DOWN ALTHOUGH THE REGULATORS ARE STIFF FROM SITTING FOR 10 YEARS---THEY SHOULD BE CLEANED AND LUBED....THE SLIDING DOOR RUNS SMOOTHLY AND LATCHES WELL. TWO DIFFERENT KEYS ARE NEEDED TO LOCK HER UP SECURELY DUE TO REPLACING DIFFERENT LOCKS/HANDLES DURING THE YEARS THAT WE DROVE HER, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL LOCK RIGHT NOW WITHOUT A BIT OF CLEANING/LUBE

THE BODY HAS SOME MAJOR RUST ISSUES WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW WELL IN THE PICTURES

I AM SURE YOU WILL WANT TO GO THROUGH THE BRAKES ETC. BEFORE DRIVING THIS, BUT IT DOES ROLL

I WELCOME INTERNATIONAL BUYERS BUT REQUEST THAT YOU CONTACT ME WITH THE NAME AND PHONE NUMBER OF YOUR SHIPPING AGENT BEFORE BIDDING. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN AGENT, I CAN RECOMMEND ONE THAT I HAVE WORKED WITH PREVIOUSLY.

THIS VEHICLE MUST BE REMOVED FROM MY PREMISES BY 1 DECEMBER 2013 OR ADDITIONAL $20.00/DAY STORAGE CHARGE WILL BE ADDED

Audi will submit emissions fix for 3.0 TDI V6 to EPA and CARB

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Audi will develop a software update for the emissions control system on Volkswagen Group's 3.0 TDI V6 and will submit the changes to the Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board for approval. If the government regulators accept it, the tweaks could end the emissions problems for an estimated 85,000 of these engines in the US in Audi, Porsche, and VW models. However, the stop-sale still covers these vehicles until further notice. Audi admits in its statement to failing to disclose three "auxiliary emission control devices" on the V6 to regulators, and US law considers one of these systems a defeat device. VW Group offered the engine in the US on the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7 since the 2009 model year. The mill was also available on the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. The EPA filed a violation against the 3.0 TDI on November 2 because the agency reported that the engine's software contained a defeat device to circumvent emissions tests. The regulator recently extended that notice to cover these powerplants in the US from the 2009 to 2016 model years. Audi's statement vaguely estimates the price of this problem to be in the "mid-double-digit millions of euros," and the automaker could face financial punishment by regulators. "Determinations regarding potential penalties and other remedies will be assessed as part of the investigation EPA has opened in conjunction with the US Department of Justice," an EPA spokesperson told Automotive News.

That is the result of the discussions held between a delegation from AUDI AG and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The updated software will be installed as soon as it is approved by the authorities. The three brands Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen are affected. Audi estimates that the related expense will be in the mid-double-digit millions of euros.

Former Porsche execs acquitted of stock manipulation charges

Fri, Mar 18 2016

A German court acquitted former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and former CFO Holger Harter of stock manipulation charges, according to Bloomberg. Prosecutors alleged the men hid plans to takeover Volkswagen while publicly denying their intentions to investors. The presiding judge didn't find any merit to those claims, though. "There is nothing to the allegations, absolutely nothing," Judge Frank Maurer said, according to Bloomberg. "There was no secret plan to take over VW." Rather than Porsche taking over VW, the exact opposite eventually happened, and both execs stepped down. Investigators first indicted Wiedeking and Harter for alleged stock manipulation in late 2012. A court in Stuttgart dismissed the case in 2014 because of a lack of evidence, but an appeals court later overruled that decision. The current trial finally began in October 2015. If convicted, Wiedeking faced up to 30 months in prison, and Harter could have received up to 27 months, Bloomberg reported. Prosecutors also wanted one million euro ($1.1 million) fines from them and 807 million euros ($910 million) from Porsche. The acquittal might not be the end of this long-running case, though. In Germany, prosecutors have the right to appeal a ruling, and the lawyer hasn't made a final decision yet. If the court thinks there's a reason, the former execs could be back in front of a judge at some point in the future.
