1973 Panel van up for bidding. This van is in very good shape for the year. The sliding door operates nicely as the track and supporting metal has been replaced, the driverside floorpan has also been repaired. The entire electrical system has been rewired and everything works as the factory intended some features like the headlights even better. It has new modern fuse and relay panels and metri-pack connectors throughout. The front end is tight and it rides very nicely down the road. The RA08 tires are nearly new as well as the front brakes including the rotors, rear brakes are also in fine working order. The front doors have new handles and locks. The windshield is recently replaced and is perfect. The fuel system including the tank and pump are new and the tank has a liner in it to keep it rust free for years to come. Interior is in fair shape, has a decent stereo. Trans works well and shifts well. The engine is a 1700 pancake style and has dropped a valve, so currently it is not running. With the addition off a rebuilt engine this bus is a daily driver, everything else mechanically is really in good shape. I have lots of parts and panels that go with, including a battery tray and driver side rocker repair panel, both of which it could use but not in dire need. The frame and underside are in amazing shape compared to most vehicles of this vintage. New clutch cable as well as the sleeve at the tranny that wears out. Heating system is in need of repair, I never drove it in the winter so it never bothered me. Some dumb@$$ previous owner cut holes in the rear panels but they have been repaired, one fairly well, one not so much but can be fixed up easily. Not really that noticeable but not that great either. If you are looking for a solid vintage bus to drive or build a project around this is the one you want. Panel vans are fairly rare and in my opinion super cool looking as vws go. I will help with shipping arrangements if necessary, at winners expense. Full payment within 3 days of auction end. Acceptable payment methods are, cash, cashiers check. Contact me to discuss other payment methods. Also feel free to contact me with questions

VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China

Thu, Oct 30 2014

With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.

Jack Kevorkian's old van up for sale in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, Aug 25 2015

With Halloween fast approaching, a Detroit pawnshop is offering a macabre automotive memento to park in your garage – Dr. Jack Kevorkian's Volkswagen Bus (pictured above in 1990). The van is currently a broken-down heap with the interior a mess, but the title and registration proves Dr. Kevorkian's ownership. The pawnbroker is hoping to get $40,000 for the ghoulish ride, according to an interview with Fox 2 News. If you're unfamiliar, Dr. Kevorkian rose to prominence in the '90s when he helped with 130 assisted suicides. It earned him the nickname Dr. Death, and he was eventually convicted of second-degree murder in 1999, serving eight years in prison. He died in 2011. Kevorkian's VW has had quite a history. The van was reportedly due to be destroyed in 1997 but somehow avoided the crusher. A retired VW parts dealer put the bus on eBay in 2010, but the vehicle was removed for violating the site's policy against selling "murderabilia." The VW eventually went to auction, but this report said that it hasn't moved in over two years. The video below shows the decrepit vehicle currently, and the gallery above has period photos from the Associated Press. This content is hosted by a third party.
