1968 Volkswagen Westfalia on 2040-cars
Belle Plaine, Kansas, United States
|
Restoration just completed on this extremely Original Rust Free Lotus White 1968 Volkswagen Westfalia! This was a very rust free bus prior to restoration. The only new metal that was required was a patch panel for the passenger side cabin floor, this was purchased from "Bus Depot" and professionally installed. This bus spent its life in Dry Oklahoma before I purchased it for Restoration. Starting from the ground up, this bus is riding on Brand New tires with less than 500 miles on them. The tires are mounted on powder coated rims that were painted the same factory color of Lotus White as the bus. The rims are sporting Brand New Early Dome VW hub caps. The interior of the bus is in exceptional condition. All of the camping components work as they should except the sink which has a crack and I was unable to source one during the restoration. However, the icebox seals nicely and works perfectly. The Westfalia cabinets open and close as they should as do all of the windows and doors. This bus also received new sub floor and flooring during the restoration. The sliding door works perfectly and the upper and lower tracks are in great condition. The front seats are in wonderful shape and free of any rips or tears as are the rear cushions. This bus also comes with the rear laundry net as well as the childs cot that goes across the cabin. The downstairs bed sleeps two adults comfortably on the Z-bed while the upstairs cot sleeps one on a cot that is in great shape with good canvas. The pop top canvas tent is brand new and was also professionally installed. The cabin area is very clean, all of the gauges and lights, wipers, turn signals function as they should. This bus is powered by a very strong running dual port 1600 motor that received an extensive tune-up during the restoration including new distributor cap/rotor, plugs, oil change, etc...This bus starts first turn of the key every time! I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere! The bus also has new brakes all the way around and the transmission shifts smoothly through all of the gears. This is a very tight driving bus. This bus also received a brand new windshield and lots of new rubber seals including the front and rear windows as well as new rubber seals around the front turn signals and rear tail lights. Now onto the exterior of the bus. The pop top and luggage rack were removed, repainted and new bottom seals were installed. The bus was prepped for paint, primered and painted with three coats of the Original Factory color of Lotus White. Then the bus received two coats of clear and was buffed to the shine that you see in the pictures! I have included some pictures of the restoration process but have many more available upon request. This bus is gorgeous, the pictures don't do it justice it is ready for camping or VW shows. Please don't hesitate to call or email with any questions regarding the bus. Shipping and all associated costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I can assist as I have shipped vehicles all over the world. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Please call Dave at 316-299-1596. Clean and Clear title in hand.

VW's Skoda says Ukraine partner making wire harnesses again
Tue, Mar 22 2022PRAGUE — Skoda Auto, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Tuesday its supply partner in Ukraine had decided to restart production of wire harnesses which should allow the Czech carmaker to resume production of its electric ENYAQ iV model. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has added to supply chain problems for global automakers — which were already struggling with semiconductor shortages that have cut production — with a break in deliveries of wire harnesses from the war-torn country. While Skoda, the Czech Republic's biggest exporter, said it expects the supply of semiconductors to improve in the second half of 2022, it said the war in Ukraine and supply bottlenecks will put a significant burden on its operating business. Skoda's 2021 deliveries fell 12.6% year-on-year and earlier this month it stopped production of the ENYAQ because of harness shortages, saying that two other models were at risk because of the lack of availability of the component. "Our partner ... in Ukraine decided to restart production of wire harnesses this week, with full service and full security for workers there," Karsten Schnake, Skoda's board member for purchasing, said during its online 2021 earnings presentation. Wire harnesses form a key part of a car's electrical system, which group and guide cables inside the vehicle. "We decided to double the production in case something is going wrong, and this production will be ramped up in an alternative factory," Schnake said, adding that work there would start in three or four weeks. "Hopefully we can restart production of ENYAQ one or two weeks later when we have wire harnesses," Schnake said. Skoda delivered 878,200 cars worldwide in 2021, the first time that this had fallen below the 1 million mark since 2013. Nevertheless, the VW group brand's sales revenue rose 3.9% to 17.7 billion euros ($19.5 billion) in 2021 and operating profit rose 43.2% to 1.1 billion euros ($1 billion) as it took cost measures. Skoda did not give a financial or production outlook, saying there were still considerable uncertainties as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and the impact on its Russian operations. Skoda, like VW, has suspended production and other business activities in Russia, which was its second-largest market last year, with 90,400 vehicles delivered.

Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map
Thu, May 31 2018BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.
