Up for sale at "No Reserve" except for a low starting price, is a very nice, clean, original, unmolested 1970 Camper Van. This is a California Van from the Lancaster desert area with no rust outside of light surface rust on the bumper guards, and wheels. The Van originally belonged to my parents who bought it with only a few thousand miles on it. As their daily driver it racked up quite a few miles, but was very well maintained. Because of an inaccurate speedometer I am not sure of the exact mileage on the van. At some point the engine was replaced with a German remanufactured engine. We have most of the maintenance records from the time it was new. A light restoration would bring it back up to near perfect condition, with little work, given it's age and mileage. The original owners manual is still in the glove box, and the original tool kit is still under the back seat.

The van starts, runs and drives very well. We brought the car back to Kansas with the intention of going through it, and keeping it for ourselves. With all of our other car projects the van went to the "back burner" and has just been setting. It is time to let someone else give it the attention it deserves. You would be hard pressed to find another VW this nice, and original. Smoke-free environment. This will make someone a really nice camper.

We have tried to include enough photos to show the overall condition with the areas that need attention. Although I feel this vehicle is very reliable, and would drive it anywhere, it is a 44 year old collector vehicle and should be viewed as such. If you are not familiar with the care and maintenance that these older VW's require, this may not be the car for you.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

Former chairman Piech opposing his nieces' VW board nominations

Fri, May 1 2015

Someone needs to option the rights to the Ferdinand Piech story for an HBO series, because it perfectly mixes the corporate intrigue of Mad Men with the family drama of The Sopranos. Plus there are some cool cars. In the latest episode, Piech isn't happy with Volkswagen's appointment of two of his nieces – Julia Kuhn-Piech and Dr. Louise Kiesling Â– to replace he and his wife on the automaker's supervisory board. The recently ousted chairman could try to stop them. According to German publication Bild, Piech thinks his two relatives lack the necessary automotive experience to serve on the board. Therefore, he suggests one-time Ford Premier Automotive Group boss Wolfgang Reitzle and former Siemens manager Brigitte Ederer to take the seats. However, a VW spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that there were no objections to the women's appointment, except for this story from Germany. Piech's nieces are already officially appointed to the VW supervisory board, and it's approved by the Braunschweig Local Court in Germany. His only real option to challenge them would be to file a lawsuit, according to Automotive News Europe. While the new appointees don't have their uncle's decades of history in the auto industry, they do have business experience. Dr. Kiesling has a degree in vehicle design from the Royal College of Art in London and is the managing director of an Austrian textile maker. Kuhn-Piech works in real estate sits on the supervisory board of German truck maker Man.
