The rest of the floor is in good condition with minimal cancer below side doors and bottom behind driver's side door. Driver's side rear is smashed in, but Bus comes with replacement panel (hard to find and EXPENSIVE). Damage has not effected driveability. Was driven daily by my son for over 3 years and previous owner drove it from Redding, CA to LA and back with no handling issues.Rear bumper is included, but will not fit with current exhaust system. Bus starts, runs, drives and stops. There is a problem with the idle - it either idles too high or dies when you come to a stop. Can't seem to get it right, but a mechanic or someone with the know-how can probably fix it easily. Wipers are not currently hooked up, but 12V wiper motor and arms are included. Already set up for Safari Windows in front (windows not included)"

This is a great little '64 bus with great potential.  This was supposed to be a Father-Son project, but the son wasn't as excited about the restoration as Dad. So, we put a new engine and trans, fixed a few things and reupholstered the seats and he drove it.  The rest of it just never got finished.   The bus starts, runs, drives and stops.  It has an idle problem. it either idles too high or dies when you stop.  Can't seem to get it right, but a mechanic or someone mechanical should be able to correct it easily.  It has been converted to 12V system.  Windshield Wipers are not installed, but wiper motor and wiper arms are included.  Minor cancer in typical places and hole in driver's side floor.  The only major issue with the body is the driver's side rear.  It was hit and mangled pretty badly.  Previous owner(s) tried to pound it out, but it's still ugly.  However, a hard to find (and expensive) replacement panel is included with sale (see pictures).  I just don't have the time to fix it and have several other projects. Engine has been updated to 1641 CC motor and Freeway Flyer transaxle.  This makes it fun and really surprises other drivers at stop lights!  All in all it's a good starter project and could actually be a fairly painless restoration. This Bus has a clear CA Title and is currently on CA Non-Op status - which, if you have ever had to deal with will save you a bunch of money as well as a WHOLE lot time.  Ready to drive after registration, but would want to go through everything before taking off on a cross-country tour......  Not trying to represent this as something that it's not, so PLEASE ask questions if you have them.

Volkswagen Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech resigns

Sat, Apr 25 2015

Ferdinand Piech, Volkswagen Group's chairman of the supervisory board, has resigned from the company. His wife, Ursula, has also left her position on the board. A statement put out by VW in German said the move was due to the fact that "mutual trust is no longer present," and the board's deputy chairman, Berthold Huber, will be interim chairman. It's been just two weeks since Ferdinand Piech told Germany's Der Spiegel magazine that he didn't want Group CEO Martin Winterkorn to become the next chairman and that he was keeping the CEO at a distance. That public comment surprised just about everyone, and led to a meeting in Piech's office in Austria. The leadership committee supported Winterkorn, and that was backed up by official, pro-Winterkorn messages from VW labor leaders and the German state of Lower Saxony. After that meeting, Piech agreed to support Winterkorn in public, but it was widely suspected that the fight wasn't over. Now it might be. This is not a changing, but rather an explosion of the guard. Piech lived for VW, and he and his Porsche kin still have a 51-percent stake in the Volkswagen Group. Frankly, we have a feeling that this still isn't over. The official statement from VW in English is below. Statement of the Executive Committee of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG Wolfsburg, 25 April 2015 -- The Executive Committee of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG discussed again today in detail the situation of the Volkswagen Group. 1.: The members of the Executive Committee have unanimously determined that in view of the background of the last weeks the mutual trust necessary for successful cooperation no longer exists. 2.: For this reason Professor Dr. Ferdinand K. Piech has resigned with immediate effect from his position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and from all his mandates as a Supervisory Board member within the Volkswagen Group. In addition, Ms. Ursula Piech has resigned with immediate effect from all her Supervisory Board mandates within the Volkswagen Group. 3.: The position of Chairman of the Supervisory Board will be temporarily assumed by the Deputy Chairman Berthold Huber. Mr. Berthold Huber will chair both the Supervisory Board meeting on May 4 as well as the Annual General Meeting on May 5, 2015. 4.: Under the chair of Mr. Berthold Huber the representatives of shareholders and employees will in close cooperation determine the candidate for the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.

Taxpayers wasted $51 million on VW diesel credits

Wed, Sep 23 2015

The scope of Volkswagen's diesel emission rules evasion continues to widen with 11 million vehicles now potentially affected around the world, and the company is setting aside over $7 billion to start paying for it all. However, the costs could go even deeper. In a piece that's well worth a read, an analysis by The LA Times finds that the government distributed as much as $51 million in green car subsidies to buyers of these models in 2009 – the first year of the dishonest engine management software. The short-term effects of this scandal on VW are already quite dire. On September 21, the company's stock fell over 20 percent at one point on the German exchange, ended down 17.8 percent that day, and have continued to tank. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency has forced a stop-sale on 2015 and 2016 diesel models with the 2.0 TDI, and the agency has begun analyzing the 3.0-liter V6 TDI in the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, and Porsche Cayenne to look for similar issues. The Justice Department has also started a criminal investigation, and the automaker has instituted its own external probe, as well. The emissions irregularities were first discovered by researchers at West Virginia University and the International Council on Clean Transportation. The EPA and California Air Resources Board were eventually made aware and launched their own investigations.
