1971 Vw Volkswagen Bus Double Cab Pick Up Truck on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
Project condition. It runs and drives with gas can. Tank is out. Dash is out. A lot of things are out, windows, windshield etc. Has Most all parts, some new, some original, but in good shape. Parts are in the truck and ready for shipping. We got this truck on trade a few days ago and watched as all parts one at a time were placed inside the vehicle or placed inside the bed. All parts are believed to be there for finishing the truck to driver condition, however we are not experts. What we can tell you is that 2 years ago the last owner paid $6,500 for the truck then purchased approx $1,500 in additional parts for the restoration. He and his wife bought a restaurant and have no free time to finish the truck so it was traded in. Rust yes, here and there. Pans bad, yes still bad not done however, a lot of bad spots have been done properly like bed and back seat area. We have seen it run 3 days ago up and down in the owners neighborhood hooked up to gas can. Tank is good, glass is good, dash is fine, and most all used parts are in good enough shape to use in restoration. If you plan on a show car new parts would need to be ordered. Really cool truck do not know much about them but but it sure has brought us alot of traffic to our location these past few days. This is a no reserve auction buyer responsible for pickup or delivery within 2 weeks we are limited on space. Good luck thanks for taking your time.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
