Here is your chance to own a very original 1968 Arizona Yellow Deluxe Van , This is a rare color combo that was only for 1968 . I purchased this great Vw bus from the second owner . Who told me the original owners owned this vehicle till just last year . I do not have records of these things, but the previous owner was a very honest person, so I believe her.. She had told me stories of how all the original owners children learned to drive in this vehicle and was loved by the original owners for over 40 years .

When I purchased the vehicle it was ready for some overhauling . I went through all the braking system, starting with all brake lines , wheel cylinders , brake shoes ,and had all the brake drums turned .
The body of this van is pretty amazing still retaining 95% of its Original Paint . It has had a couple touch ups over the years but is a very solid driver . Yes it does have a little paint fading ,couple dings here and there .But overall has pretty strong paint . I honestly love the way it looks and is nice enough to turn heads and not so nice your afraid to leave it in a parking lot . 
The front and rear floors did have replacement pieces welded in and floors resprayed the original color . The rocker panels and good and solid , and is in overall good condition .
The motor is a rebuilt 1600cc with a new alternator, new carb and distributor . the transmission was also gone through at the time of the motor rebuild . So if i had to describe how this bus runs and drives down the road . All I would say is Amazing ! It truly drives like and brand new Vw bus.
The interior is 100% Original, all seat covers , door panels , mats ,and headliner . and are in surprisingly good condition . The tires are brand new with less than 100 miles on them . Also a brand new roof rack was added . And looks great .
If you are looking for a Vw Bus in very good Original Condition with loads of character don't pass this one up . It drives so great who ever wins this auction will not be disappointed ..

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents

Tue, Dec 22 2020

WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar.  Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
