1969 Volkswagen Deluxe Bay Window Bus on 2040-cars
Meridian, Idaho, United States
You are looking at a 1969 Volkswagen
Deluxe Bus. This is a good ol bus, runs and drives great. The steering and
brakes are good. The motor and transmission are strong. This bus has a very
nice running 1600 dual port motor, and a nice quiet 4 speed transmission that doesn’t
pop out. It doesn’t leak much oil. The man I got this bus from said it only had
about 10,000 miles on the motor. The
interior has a Westfalia camper kit installed, with front walk through seats. The
upholstery is original and in good shape. The headliner is original and has a
few tears. As you can see in the pictures,
this old bus has some rust on the rocker panels and the upper front lower dog
leg. There are a couple rust places underneath, but not bad to repair. The right
rear upper panel, by the vent, has had some bodywork which wasn’t repaired
properly and is off by an inch and a half, it doesn’t look very bad though. All
the glass is good, the front windshield has a small star in it. All of the lights work, wipers
work, dimmer switch is not working and the heater is unhooked. The stereo works
good, and the speakers in the cab sound pretty decent. This bay window bus has 14
inch tires and original stock wheels. The radial tires have good tread, and aren’t
cracked. This good old VW bus has had some
scrapes and cracks, but is still very presentable as is. There are a lot of
good times left in this bus, and we are selling it for a good price, so have
fun bidding. Thanks for looking, Jack

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
