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

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
