Full Front Bench Seat (non Walk Through) Rare on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
This is a fairly rare 1972 double sliding door panel van. It's an actual Kombi model built as a commercial vehicle by VW. The front seat is the full width, 3 passenger, non walk through type that makes this bus even more rare. I'm helping sell this on eBay for a friend who is the legal owner and everything is true to the best of my knowledge. I've taken several pictures trying my best to show all the flaws. It's possible I might have missed something and if I did it wasn't intensional. I've also driven the bus and here's what I found. The engine is a GE code 2000cc with hydraulic lifters retrofitted from either a 1978 or 1979 fuel injected bus. It starts right up and has a lot of power. There is a small oil leak and I'd guess that's from leaking push rod tube seals which are easy to replace. When running, the idle "hunts" and I believe this is caused by either a bad brake booster or maybe just the brake booster vacuum line has a leak, an easy fix. When shifting there is a slight gear grind going into third. The bus has some rust issues and the pictures should display that pretty well I think. The mileage is unknown but quite high. I can help arrange worldwide shipping for the buyer. A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours via Paypal. The balance is due in 7 days via bank wire transfer. Please see my feedback and rest assured that I am an honest seller with 100% feedback rating. Full set of pictures can be viewed here: http://s433.photobucket.com/user/aeromech32254/library/Scott1972DoublesliderPanel Here's a statement from the owner:
I am the third owner of this van. It was originally imported by and
for the use of an Idaho VW dealer in 1972. It was purchased from that dealer in
1973 by one of the shops mechanics. I purchased the van from him around 1985. This
van carries a heavy pay load and has been a work vehicle all the time I have
owned it. Ithas carried wood, stone, compost, nursery inventory and more.
Around 1995 my mechanic replaced the engine and gas tank with one's out of a
van from the late 70's. I also had him add gauges and an external oil
filtration system made by amzoil. It's location history is approximately:
1972-1976 –
1976-1993 -
1993-2011 -
2011-present -
Since being driven to
This is the only bay window double door
slider I have ever seen with the bench seat. It came stock with 3 seat belts.
Feel free to ask questions. All information is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

Matthias Muller officially named VW Group CEO
Fri, Sep 25 2015While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.
BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development
Tue, Dec 9 2014Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
