1974 Volkswagen Bus Hardtop Up for auction is our 1974 Volswagen Bus Here is what I know about it... I am the 3rd owner of this Bus, it was originally purchased in California in 1974 and was only occasionally driven. Around 1994 it was purchased by an older gentlemen in California who used it for about 18 years on the weekends for the swap meets. It sat in a garage for a couple years and became a home for mice and various other critters. I purchased it from the second owner and breathed life back into it. Here's what it has and has recently been done...
I had the bus in a local shop here for about 3 weeks and had the motor pulled and gone through to get it running good. Had everything I listed above replaced and/or repaired. All the electrical in the bus works, with he exception of the horn. It runs strong, shifts smooth, and brakes good. This bus has the ORIGINAL 40 year old German paint job which I believe is called Mango and in is in great shape. The body is straight but does have a few small dings here and there with a few touch ups also. The paint is solid and is right on the verge of a great patina if your in to that look. I was planning on painting it but opted to leave the original 40 year old German paint on it. When I found this bus, the interior was in bad shape, the bus had been taken over by mice which destroyed the seats, headliner, and a few panels. I replaced the damaged panels with high quality ABS plastic panels and recovered the entire back area with a black burlap. I do have the original panels which I will include if you want them. Seats were stripped and the front covered in new foam and grey cloth seat covers. Seats need to be reupholstered in OEM material though if you are planning to go for all original restoration. This bus has almost zero rust, there is a small rust spot starting on the battery tray, and under the driver floor boards, but both are small. All glass and rubber is original. We drive this bus every weekend and have a great time. If you are serious about this bus, I will help you schedule a third party inspection if you would like. I have bought and sold several VW's on eBay and have 100% feedback. If you would like any specific pictures that I have not posted, just message me with a text or email and I will be happy to send them to you. Bus has clear Nevada title, current registration, and insurance. Thanks for looking and please feel free to contact me with any questions. Serious bidders only. Please don't bid if you don't intend to purchase. It takes time and money to do this. Bus is sold as is with no warranty. I will work with you to get the Bus picked up or shipped, and will include all original parts that I have. Thanks for looking and happy bidding! Travis |

Giorgetto Giugiaro sells shares in legendary styling house to Audi
Sat, Jul 4 2015Giorgetto Giugiaro undoubtedly stands among the great automotive designers of the 20th century, having penned the original Volkswagen Golf and Delorean DMC-12, among countless others. However, the great stylist is now longer an employee or even an owner of the company that bears his name. According to Automotive News, Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio, sold their remaining 9.9 percent of Italdesign Giugiaro to Audi on Sunday, June 28, and the two resigned from the business the following day. The news about this just came out, though. The exact reason that the two men left the company hasn't been made entirely clear. According to Automotive News, a statement said that Giorgetto Giugiaro went "to dedicate more time to his personal interests." Italdesign Giugiaro remains open and intends to keep growing, though, the same announcement asserts. After stints at Bertone and Ghia, Giugiaro founded Italdesign in 1968. He created some masterpieces there, including '70s wedges like Maserati Merak, Lotus Esprit, and much more. The 2000s weren't so kind and 90.1 percent of the company was sold to Volkswagen Group in 2010. Former Audi design boss Wolfgang Egger took over styling duties there in late 2013, but he only lasted for about a year, leaving in late 2014. Since the sale, Italdesign has continued to work, including with the Gea concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and the very mean-looking Parcour in 2013. Giugiaro's designs are still highly prized, as well. On September 5, Bonhams is auctioning the Maserati Boomerang concept by him and expects to get around $4 million for it. The gallery above offers a few more examples of his and Italdesign's concepts for VW Group over the years.
Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group
Mon, Jul 5 2021ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
