 Restoration just completed on this extremely Original Rust Free Lotus White 1968 Volkswagen Westfalia!  This was a very rust free bus prior to restoration.  The only new metal that was required was a patch panel for the passenger side cabin floor, this was purchased from "Bus Depot" and professionally installed.  This bus spent its life in Dry Oklahoma before I purchased it for Restoration.  Starting from the ground up, this bus is riding on Brand New tires with less than 500 miles on them.  The tires are mounted on powder coated rims that were painted the same factory color of Lotus White as the bus.  The rims are sporting Brand New Early Dome VW hub caps.  The interior of the bus is in exceptional condition.  All of the camping components work as they should except the sink which has a crack and I was unable to source one during the restoration.  However, the icebox seals nicely and works perfectly. The Westfalia cabinets open and close as they should as do all of the windows and doors.  This bus also received new sub floor and flooring during the restoration.  The sliding door works perfectly and the upper and lower tracks are in great condition.  The front seats are in wonderful shape and free of any rips or tears as are the rear cushions.  This bus also comes with the rear laundry net as well as the childs cot that goes across the cabin.  The downstairs bed sleeps two adults comfortably on the Z-bed while the upstairs cot sleeps one on a cot that is in great shape with good canvas.  The pop top canvas tent is brand new and was also professionally installed.  The cabin area is very clean, all of the gauges and lights, wipers, turn signals function as they should.  This bus is powered by a very strong running dual port 1600 motor that received an extensive tune-up during the restoration including new distributor cap/rotor, plugs, oil change, etc...This bus starts first turn of the key every time!  I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere!  The bus also has new brakes all the way around and the transmission shifts smoothly through all of the gears.  This is a very tight driving bus.  This bus also received a brand new windshield and lots of new rubber seals including the front and rear windows as well as new rubber seals around the front turn signals and rear tail lights.  Now onto the exterior of the bus.  The pop top and luggage rack were removed, repainted and new bottom seals were installed.  The bus was prepped for paint, primered and painted with three coats of the Original Factory color of Lotus White.  Then the bus received two coats of clear and was buffed to the shine that you see in the pictures!  I have included some pictures of the restoration process but have many more available upon request.   This bus is gorgeous, the pictures don't do it justice it is ready for camping or VW shows.  Please don't hesitate to call or email with any questions regarding the bus.  Shipping and all associated costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I can assist as I have shipped vehicles all over the world.  I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Please call Dave at 316-299-1596.  Clean and Clear title in hand.

VW Golf R pre-order sells out in less than 11 hours

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Volkswagen fans had to be pretty quick if they wanted to ensure their pre-order for one of the first 500 units of the 2015 Golf R to enter the US. The German brand opened the books online at at 12:01 AM EST, and according to company spokesperson Leigh Anne Sessions speaking to Autoblog, by around 10:30 AM EST all of them were snapped up. VW's pre-order page currently shows these vehicles as no longer available, and the company confirms the news on Twitter, as well. There's still a chance to get an early Golf R by signing up for the waiting list and hoping one of the 500 orders falls through. VW Customer Care will contact people if there's an opening. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This entire allotment of the Golf R comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with VW's adaptive damper system, navigation, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and more. To further sweeten the pot, the company is also giving these folks a watch, key chain and certificate with their vehicle's VIN. The 500 models were priced at $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery, but only $500 was required to reserve one online. The amount was refundable if a person backed out.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
