We are selling our Bus that we recently imported to Canada from California. It is not registered in Alberta yet and would need minor work to pass inspection which I will be happy to share with you. The odometer reads 23000 miles but true miles cannot be verified.

The Good:

The exterior was recently painted in vintage VW Green and a roof rack installed. All window glass is clear, crack free, and sealed. She looks amazing just like back in '79.

The interior is mostly original and has been well-taken care off. The two bench seats are original beige while the two front bucket seats were replaced at some point. There are seat belts for all 7 seats.

Electrically the system is sound with most lights, signals, and wipers working.

The engine starts and runs great. It is a GE code 2.0 litre engine. It was just tuned and new fuel lines installed. You can shift through all gears with ease.

The tires are in good condition. Brakes good.

Areas of Need:

There are some electrical parts not working - some lights, horn, and washer fluid spray.

The vent/defrost system is not hooked up and would need some parts if you wanted it in working order. The heater boxes are still on the Bus.

From what I can tell, the repairs are not too expensive and any knowledgeable VW owner should be able to tackle most of them on their own. I believe it is 95 % complete in overall restoration and would love for someone to finish the restoration and enjoy and appreciate her value.

Please contact me with any questions or if you would like to see her for yourself.

Shipping not included. Paypal or cash accepted.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.

$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.
