Up for auction is my 1958 Double Door Panel. Built in late 57 i have had this bus for quite a while and drove it all over a few years back but know it just sits and we have other projects to tend to so sadly we must let it go. I have a clean California title in my name and it has been " NON-OPT" since 2007.I bought it from an older gentleman who bought it and let it sit in his yard. When i bought it it didn't have a motor, trans or wheels and tires and it had a complete camper kit in it........I bought it but he kept the camper kit so here is what i have done:

BODY: It has a bad nose, it needs a skin as i bought it this way, missing the windshield glass it has its typical rust in front floors, driver side dog leg and inner and outer rocker. The passenger side has already had the inner and outer rocker replaced, lower cargo doors replaced and the belly pan on that side fixed.It has the wrong year engine lid, taillights and has the camper windows cut in. On a good note The rear wheel wells have never been cut, it does have its original front doors, 2 cargo doors, rear hatch and what i believe is its original front pressed bumper. It does have the large "Sekurit" logo on the door and hatch windows and has the correct door handles,headlights,front emblem, and has a single outlet "church key" rear apron. The body still needs plenty rust repair and bodywork but overall it is a good start.

INTERIOR: Or lack there of. It has its original seat, steering wheel, column, pedals and wiring. Wrong year speedo and someone has put in a factory gas gauge. But it has the correct shifter, panel divider and little bits.

ELECTRICAL: The original loom has been repaired. The headlights, taillights, turn signals, dome lights, dash lights etc all work and the charging system charges as well.

ENGINE: It is a stock 1600 single port that was rebuilt several years ago but runs great and never has given me any trouble. I have tried to use all german parts when i put this motor in. Recently rebuilt the carb, installed a new bosch starter and rebuilt dist with all new wires, plugs etc. It has a sachs clutch in it that works great as well.

TRANSMISSION: I bought it at the same time as the motor from a friend who upgraded from stock to a larger motor. So i bought his motor and trans. The trans was rebuilt as well as the reduction boxes and works fine............unknown mileage on both engine and trans.

BRAKES: Just redone. German drums turned, new shoes, hardware, seals, wheel cylinders, hoses and master cylinder with brake switch. All parts german except master and all from Wolfsburg West.

WHEELS\TIRES. Painted ghia wheels with brand new 205/75/15 radials with custom painted early style hub caps.

While this bus still rough and needs things to be totally driveable it is a good start. I will include a box of extra bits and pieces that go with it.

Note: There is no reserve or "buy it now" just a straight auction so bid to win. Feel free to ask any questions.

VW spending $10 million on EV infrastructure, calls on Congress for help

Tue, Feb 10 2015

It must be the season of big EV infrastructure announcements. In the last few days, we've heard from Bollore in France, PG&E in California and now VW. The German automaker says it will spend a total of $10 million on electric vehicle charging infrastructure by 2016. That includes the previously announced ChargePoint investment VW made with BMW and work the automaker is doing to get chargers for cars like the e-Golf installed as its dealerships. But Jorg Sommer, Volkswagen of America'sl VP of product marketing and strategy, said today in Washington, DC that automakers need help from the federal, state and local governments to turn electric mobility into a thing. Speaking at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress, Sommer said VW would like the Feds to support fast charging networks in urban areas as well as interstate corridors and that governments should "commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a US Government priority," he said. He also suggested that the plug-in vehicle multiplier credits under the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations should be extended beyond the 2021 model year. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA TO INVEST $10 MILLION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE BY 2016 Feb 10, 2015 Washington, D.C., February 10, 2015 – Jorg Sommer, vice president, product marketing and strategy, Volkswagen of America, today presented Volkswagen's holistic approach to e-mobility surrounding the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions 2015 e-Golf, including a $10 million commitment to support electric vehicle infrastructure by 2016. During a presentation delivered at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress in Washington D.C., Sommer stated that Volkswagen believes continued legislative support is needed to reach the next level of electric vehicle adoption. "Automakers have effectively delivered electric vehicles that can satisfy the needs of most American drivers," said Sommer. "In addition to the investment we and other companies and industries are making, we would like to see Federal financing support for establishing fast charging networks in urban areas and interstate corridors. We'd like to see more state and federal organizations commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a U.S. Government priority, and federal purchasing guidelines should reflect that by giving fleet purchasers the flexibility they need," Sommer said.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
