1974 Volkswagen Transporter window passanger bus.

Make it what you want- A cruiser to the beach, surfer bus, art bus, family camper, a daily driver, Needs a loving home.

This is a great chance to own a vintage bus that you can easly make it what you want. It has been owned by a old man for the past 20+ years, and now it has been owned by my 67 year old dad. Since my father bought it unfortunately he has stopped driving it. It has been sitting for about a year. I put fresh oil in it and new fuel and charged the battery on 12-07-13. It starts right up and goes in all gears and breaks good. But it does need some tlc.

The Bad- To be honest I will describe the bus best to my ability but it is sold as-is and how it is. The bus is sold with current 2014 reg from California and a clear title. It needs to be towed bcs it has set for a year and it needs tlc..

1-it needs tune up bcs the dual carbs back fire etc

2-needs some interior cleaning and needs all new seat coverings because they are torn up. See photos.

3-needs little adds and ends just like any old vw, for example radio is not working and needs a new one, 30 year old car that needs to be restored to look and run like new if that is what you want. 

4-only has ignition key so it needs door key, but it is easy to rekey bcs one key opens and closes all the locks etc. My dad only had one key for the ignition bcs he never locked it.

5-Car paint is not perfect it has little dings etc, most buses have rust all over but this one is nice and dry. It does have some surface rust (including one spot on driver floor where their is a little hole). See All pics to evaluate condition for your self.

 

The Great-

1-2.0 litter engine that should go 75 mph with out a problem when tuned etc... ( not sure of the mileage but the prior owner said engine was rebuilt and now it has approx 30 to 40k miles on it. Has pancake style engine just like in a Porsche 914.

2-Bus is yellow and white - and the paint looks great but it is 30 years old.

3-Great start for a dream bus. Floors are good, bus has all bumpers and even the battery tray is solid.

4-All windows are good, doors open and close good, sliding door is great.

5-Stops and goes in all gears, well the transmission with axels was rebuilt about a year ago.

6- Has rear seat that you can take out and sleep in the bus or make it what you want, all seats really need to be recovered. Door panels are okay but it all needs a little love.

7-Well this is your chance to own a great bus project that can be a daily driver easly. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AND SEE THE BUS BEFORE BIDDING OR ANY QUESTIONS ARE OKAY. THE BUYER MUST REALIZE THAT THE BUS IS 30+ YEARS OLD AND IS SOLD AS-IS.  $500 DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PURCHASE VIA PAYPAL ETC. THE REST MUST BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS VIA CASH, BANK TRANSFER ETC.. PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU CAN'T BUY IT BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO PUT A CAR ON EBAY. I WILL SELL BUS ANYWHERE. SEE MY PRIOR CAR SALES, SOME OVER 10K AND BUYERS WERE ALL 100% SATISFIED. I SOLD FEW CARS TO EUROPE AND OWNERS WERE VERY HAPPY. 916-969-0334 Paul. Car is located in Loomis-California-USA.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
