Offered for your consideration at NO RESERVE is one of the COOLEST 1973 7 passenger Volkswagen buses available. May we present to you my PATINA QUEEN! What a AWESOME bus to say the least! 

You gotta love the awesome patina fade this one sports. Wearing its most desirable Orient blue and Pastel White with a awesome ivory interior. It was never hacked, altered, or abused. It has always been a West Coast bus. It's rare being an original factory air conditioning bus. However the air conditioning is not currently functional, good news is all the air conditioning parts are present. This is a very RARE option to say the least! We recently acquired this bus from the second owners and reluctantly selling as my wife wants and automatic.

It was sleeping for many years. It just had a completely rebuilt engine and carburetors. It runs and drives nice. it t has a near perfect headliner, all interior is present and nice, front seats have aftermarket covers as the the original material is aged. 

The body is AMAZING for being over 40 years old, just look at the pictures. Nothing like a nice original paint bus with a nice body oooooozzzzing with original Patina! 

This is your window of opportunity to purchase the Patina Queen Looking to own the shows? Or be the center of attention? This is sure to do the trick. Leave it stock, or lower it on Porsche Fuchs? Narrow beam etc. The possibilities are endless. The more you look, the more this bus will blow your mind. Please remember this is not a restored bus; it has some dings, scratches, and minor paint touchups over the years, which is common for being over 40 years-old. Again, don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own Patina Queen. 

Remember, A restored bus is a dime a dozen, a survivor like this is priceless and hard to find as most of them have been restored, and altered. Thanks for taking the time to read the description.

VW pulls Lamborghini and Bentley from the Paris Motor Show

Tue, Sep 20 2016

It's been slightly more than a year since the news that Volkswagen had intentionally cheated on diesel emissions testing broke. Since then, the company's reputation and image have suffered and it has struggled to regain its footing and composure. The automaker is shelling out billions in fines, so cost cutting is inevitable. Today, Reuters reports that Volkswagen subsidiaries Lamborghini and Bentley won't bring their elaborate displays to the Paris Motor Show next week. Auto shows can cost automakers millions of dollars, especially for supercar and luxury car brands that constantly try to compete and one-up with each other. Much of the money and fanfare goes to catering the media, and if an automaker has nothing new to reveal it can be difficult to justify the expense. The company told Reuters that it plans to attend smaller events that focus more on potential buyers. The Volkswagen group as a whole has shifted it's focus, both when it comes to products and auto shows like Paris. Next week, the automaker will be focusing on electric vehicles and electromobility. The company plans to reveal a new EV with 373 miles of range, eclipsing both the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt. Volkswagen has plans for 30 new electric vehicles by 2025. Lamborghini and Bentley aren't the only major automakers skipping Paris. Ford, Volvo, and Aston Martin have all decided to save money and focus their efforts elsewhere. Related Video:

VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.
