Up for auction is my 1958 Double Door Panel. Built in late 57 i have had this bus for quite a while and drove it all over a few years back but know it just sits and we have other projects to tend to so sadly we must let it go. I have a clean California title in my name and it has been " NON-OPT" since 2007.I bought it from an older gentleman who bought it and let it sit in his yard. When i bought it it didn't have a motor, trans or wheels and tires and it had a complete camper kit in it........I bought it but he kept the camper kit so here is what i have done: 

 
BODY: It has a bad nose, it needs a skin as i bought it this way, missing the windshield glass it has its typical rust in front floors, driver side dog leg and inner and outer rocker. The passenger side has already had the inner and outer rocker replaced, lower cargo doors replaced and the belly pan on that side fixed.It has the wrong year engine lid, taillights and has the camper windows cut in. On a good note The rear wheel wells have never been cut, it does have its original front doors, 2 cargo doors, rear hatch and what i believe is its original front pressed bumper. It does have the large "Sekurit" logo on the door and hatch windows and has the correct door handles,headlights,front emblem, and has a single outlet "church key" rear apron. The body still needs plenty rust repair and bodywork but overall it is a good start.

INTERIOR: Or lack there of. It has its original seat, steering wheel, column, pedals and wiring. Wrong year speedo and someone has put in a factory gas gauge. But it has the correct shifter, panel divider and little bits.

ELECTRICAL: The original loom has been repaired. The headlights, taillights, turn signals, dome lights, dash lights etc all work and the charging system charges as well.

ENGINE: It is a stock 1600 single port that was rebuilt several years ago but runs great and never has given me any trouble. I have tried to use all german parts when i put this motor in. Recently rebuilt the carb, installed a new bosch starter and rebuilt dist with all new wires, plugs etc. It has a sachs clutch in it that works great as well.

TRANSMISSION: I bought it at the same time as the motor from a friend who upgraded from stock to a larger motor. So i bought his motor and trans. The trans was rebuilt as well as the reduction boxes and works fine............unknown mileage on both engine and trans.

BRAKES: Just redone. German drums turned, new shoes, hardware, seals, wheel cylinders, hoses and master cylinder with brake switch. All parts german except master and all from Wolfsburg West.

WHEELS\TIRES. Painted ghia wheels with brand new 205/75/15 radials with custom painted early style hub caps.

While this bus still rough and needs things to be totally driveable it is a good start. I will include a box of extra bits and pieces that go with it.

Note: There is no reserve or "buy it now" just a straight auction so bid to win. Feel free to ask any questions.

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market

Wed, Oct 30 2019

FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.

When Android Automotive goes in the dash, Google wins — and automakers lose data

Tue, May 22 2018

You've gotta hand it to Google for the way the Silicon Valley tech giant has made indelible inroads into the car on multiple fronts. The most obvious is with its pioneering self-driving car technology that's caused car companies to get their act together on autonomous vehicles — and also collaborate with Google. Google has more directly extended its influence and data-mining capabilities into the car with its Android Auto smartphone-projection platform that most major automakers have adopted along with Apple's CarPlay. And now it's preparing to dig even deeper into dashboards by deploying its open-source operating system, Android Automotive, beginning with Audi and Volvo. Volvo recently announced that its next-generation Sensus infotainment system will run Android Automotive as an OS and include Google's Play Store for cloud-based content, Maps for navigation and Google Assistant for voice recognition, which can even command a car's climate control. By embedding Google in the dash, Volvo says owners will get an improved connected experience. "Bringing Google services into Volvo cars will accelerate innovation in connectivity and boost our development in applications and connected services," Volvo senior vice president of R&D Henrik Green said in a statement. "Soon, Volvo drivers will have direct access to thousands of in-car apps that make daily life easier and the connected in-car experience more enjoyable." Having Android Automotive onboard could benefit drivers — and provide a big win for Google, since it opens a deep and lucrative new data-mining vein for the company. But it's a wave of a white flag for car companies when it comes to delivering their own cloud-based content and services. It also represents a massive data giveaway and, for Audi, a reversal of earlier reservations about letting Google get too much access to car data. Not long after Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were introduced in 2014 and most automakers eagerly embraced the technologies, several German automakers second-guessed their decision when they realized what was at stake: data. At a conference in Berlin in 2015, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler said car owners "want to be in control of their data, and not subject to monitoring." A few months earlier, Stadler stated that "the data that we collect is our data and not Google's.
