Vw Bus/van Kombi - Great Condition Bay Window Hardtop 1974 on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
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 |

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
US prepares to sue Fiat Chrysler over diesel emissions testing
Thu, May 18 2017NEW YORK - The Justice Department plans to file a civil lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV over excess diesel emissions as early as this week if no agreement is reached with the Italian-American automaker, two sources briefed on the matter said on Wednesday. The Environmental Protection Agency in January accused FCA of illegally using undisclosed software to allow excess diesel emissions in about 104,000 cars and SUVs, the result of a probe that stemmed from regulators' investigation of rival Volkswagen AG. The EPA and California Air Resources Board have been in talks with FCA about the excess emissions and whether the agencies would approve the sale of 2017 FCA diesel models. A federal judge in California has set a May 24 hearing on a series of lawsuits filed by owners of vehicles against Fiat Chrysler and the Justice Department is expected to file its action by then if no agreement is reached. FCA said on Wednesday it believed that any litigation would be "counterproductive" to ongoing discussions with the EPA and California Air Resources Board. The company added that "in the case of any litigation, FCA US will defend itself vigorously, particularly against any claims that the company deliberately installed defeat devices to cheat U.S. emissions tests." The Justice Department took the same procedural step in early 2016 against Volkswagen, nearly four months after the German company admitted using software to emit excess diesel emissions in nearly 500,000 vehicles. The Justice Department has had an ongoing criminal investigation into FCA's conduct since last year, Reuters reported in January. The probe has turned up internal emails written in Italian and other documents about engine development and emissions issues, sources briefed on the probe said. U.S. regulators said FCA failed to disclose engine management software in 104,000 U.S. 2014-2016 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with 3.0-liter diesel engines. The European Commission has launched legal action against Italy for failing to respond to allegations of emission-test cheating by Fiat Chrysler in a procedure that could lead to the country being taken to court. The EPA has said the maximum possible fine against FCA could be $4.6 billion. In February, FCA said it had received requests for information and subpoenas from U.S. federal and state authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, for diesel issues.
