1971 Vw Volkswagen Bus Double Cab Pick Up Truck on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
Project condition. It runs and drives with gas can. Tank is out. Dash is out. A lot of things are out, windows, windshield etc. Has Most all parts, some new, some original, but in good shape. Parts are in the truck and ready for shipping. We got this truck on trade a few days ago and watched as all parts one at a time were placed inside the vehicle or placed inside the bed. All parts are believed to be there for finishing the truck to driver condition, however we are not experts. What we can tell you is that 2 years ago the last owner paid $6,500 for the truck then purchased approx $1,500 in additional parts for the restoration. He and his wife bought a restaurant and have no free time to finish the truck so it was traded in. Rust yes, here and there. Pans bad, yes still bad not done however, a lot of bad spots have been done properly like bed and back seat area. We have seen it run 3 days ago up and down in the owners neighborhood hooked up to gas can. Tank is good, glass is good, dash is fine, and most all used parts are in good enough shape to use in restoration. If you plan on a show car new parts would need to be ordered. Really cool truck do not know much about them but but it sure has brought us alot of traffic to our location these past few days. This is a no reserve auction buyer responsible for pickup or delivery within 2 weeks we are limited on space. Good luck thanks for taking your time.

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
