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 to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.

Lincoln Aviator returns, VW ponders pickups, and Subaru Forester endures

Mon, Apr 2 2018

NEW YORK – Volkswagen is taking a hard look at a pickup truck, the Lincoln Aviator is back, and you love old Subarus (we'll explain). The New York Auto Show returned last week with flair and a wide range of promising reveals. Let's break down some of the big news, plus a few things you might have missed. News: Ford is fortifying Lincoln with the Aviator SUV Views: Doing a mid-size SUV is obvious. Calling it the Aviator wasn't. I like it. Using Navigator design cues, this thing looks the part and should give Lincoln some energy and sales volume. Not playing in the midsize SUV segment has been a mistake for Ford's luxury brand, and the Aviator should fill a much-needed hole. Props to Lincoln for dusting off the Aviator name, most recently used on a rebadged Ford Explorer built in 2003-2005. It sounds classy and historic, like something from 1930s, even though it only dates to the tail end of the " Friends" era. Speaking of names, when the MKC gets a new one, Lincoln should dust off Zephyr, a moniker it actually used in the '30s and then briefly in the early 2000s. Why use the Aviator name? Jim Farley, Ford's president of global markets, said it's about reminding consumers that Ford has traditionally built strong SUVs. "I think in a way the legacy is falling in love with what we do best," he said. "We wanted to go back to our roots. We know how to do this well." Farley also said the Aviator could prove to be Lincoln's bestseller. The Aviator was well-received in New York, earning our Best in Show award and garnering cautiously optimistic reactions from some analysts. "Lincoln ran this experiment once before ... differences in the market conditions, stronger differentiation and appetite for utility vehicles may prove a different story for this Aviator," IHS analyst Stephanie Brinley said. View 19 Photos News: VW surprised the car world with the Atlas Tanoak pickup concept Views: Good move. VW should build this. The concept is based on a longer version of the Atlas platform and would take aim at the midsize truck segment. VW is using this prototype to "gauge the reactions" of automotive influencers, but make no mistake, the Tanoak is totally doable. Using Atlas bones and mechanicals punched up with rugged styling and some soft-road capability, the Tanoak would grow VW's portfolio in a smart way. The Atlas Cross Sport concept, also revealed in New York, signals that Atlas expansion is already underway.

VW teams up with legendary electronic musicians Kraftwerk for 3D Autobahn concert

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Electronic music fans know Kraftwerk. To paraphrase a famous TV anchor, they're kind of a big deal. The band is in the midst of an eight-concert show at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, which includes a full 3D accompaniment. Why, you ask, is this on Autoblog, then? Well, Volkswagen is sponsoring it, highlighting the role that its iconic Beetle played on the band's equally iconic fourth album, Autobahn. And besides, it's Friday afternoon, and who doesn't want to listen to the soothing synth notes of early EDM pioneers? Check out the featurette on the connection between VW and Kraftwerk, and then for giggles, scroll down and give the first track of Autobahn a listen. This content is hosted by a third party.
