Belle Plaine, Kansas, United States

 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.

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.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons 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.

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
