1971 Volkswagen 'WALK-THRU' Bus....I'm listing this vehicle for a friend. She's an older lady that bought it about 15 years ago, drove it for about a year and parked it in a covered carport at her home. From what I can see this is an all original bus, except the radio. Overall condition of the body is very good (never been cut). No major dents (and very few small ones, if any at all), sliding door is in good working condition, deck lid and rear hatch open and close with no problems, both driver and passenger doors open and close with no problems, windows roll up & down,  side windows open & close, all glass in good, original condition. Tires are good, stock steel rims with hubcaps...this van has the fold-up bed, fold-up table. The interior is all original, all vinyl in good condition (rear seat vinyl is good, it's just covered with blanket - sorry). Original wood panel headliner fair condition...dashboard is good, has a radio (not stock). As far as I know all electrical works. Good battery...brakes are good, e-brake good transmission is good...As you are aware, if your a Volkswagen person, almost every Volkswagen has some rust issues....some are very rusty, and some have very little rust. I looked this bus over (body and frame)
floors are very solid, front end (nose) is good (might have emblem) and with just minor surface rust...this one is very solid, with very little rust!  Now about the motor...it's a 1600 duel port, standard engine...it does run, however it hesitates. She took it to the local Bugformance (in San Jose) and they noted on her paperwork that the distributor vacuum pod not correct ...recommend fresh air hoses. Not sure of exact mileage, odometer reads: 58048.0 She has the receipts for recent work done. This bus is currently registered and insured, pink slip is clear. Please review all pictures....if you have any questions, or would like a picture of a particular area please email me. My name is Bruce and you are welcome to call my cell number 408 317 8076. If your local and would like to see the bus, please call for an appointment. And to be clear, this bus is being sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS.  Overseas buyers welcome, east coast buyers welcome. Once you have made contact with a shipper I will be available to meet and assist your shipper. Bottom line: this is a nice original bus - good luck bidding!

2023 CES Editors' Picks

Mon, Jan 9 2023

Over the past few years, it has become more and more clear that the Consumer Electronics Show is a car show. And this year that reality is more clear than ever. Not only did established automakers show off seriously important vehicles, but a traditional electronics company brought a car that gives an idea of its intents (with the help of establishment car company). With so many car reveals, we had to rank our favorites. Our picks for this show are entirely electric. Or at least, they are on paper, since many are concepts. Considering the name of the show, it would be a little strange if they weren't. In fact, not only are many of our favorites concepts, they all are save for one. See how they shook out below. VW ID7 camo View 28 Photos 5. Volkswagen ID.7 "The ID.7 definitely got lost in the crowd at CES. That it was camouflaged definitely didn't help, even if that camo was electroluminescent (BMW trumped it big time with its color-changing Dee). Nevertheless, this is a close-to-production hatchback-ed sedan, not unlike today's Arteon, with an extra-long wheelbase courtesy its EV architecture. It should be a solid answer to the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, and even if people obviously prefer SUVs now, VW says there is still a market for sedans. I know I'd probably prefer one." –Senior Editor, West Coast and Reviews, James Riswick Peugeot Inception concept View 12 Photos 4. Peugeot Inception "It's not often that show debuts surprise us. While Peugeot teased the Inception ahead of CES, its unveiling seemed almost incidental. But just look at this thing; it's like an electric French Mustang with someplace important to be. I don't buy into the stupid 'It's not a wheel!' thing that Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson described as providing a video-game-like drive experience, but that bit of silliness aside, this is a really promising design study. Give us more of these and fewer tall boxes, please." –Associate Editor Byron Hurd Afeela prototype from Sony Honda Mobility View 11 Photos 3. Afeela by Sony Honda “Ever since Sony showed off an impressively put-together concept car at CES a few years ago, IÂ’ve been anticipating the companyÂ’s next move. Apparently, that next move is “Afeela.” No, I donÂ’t love the name. The specs from SonyÂ’s original concept car give me hope that this prototype sportback (itÂ’s a hatchback!) will be fun to drive, though.

If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini

Mon, Dec 7 2015

If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
