Here is an unusual 1958 Semaphore Ragtop with a locking steering ignition. This car has been sitting outside for over 25 years. I believe that this car was purchased by an armed forces person who imported the car in the early 70's. There are upgrades from that area that include, removal of semaphores ( it comes with two semaphores) larger chrome mid sixties taillights, us bumpers, mid sixties fuel gauge with a sending unit on the original fuel tank up by the collar of the tank, mph speed o and a 40 horse. Obviously the car needs all mechanical s rebuilt. The 40 horse is locked up. I had just cleaned and pressure washed out the car just prior to pics and than it started raining! I have a bunch of pics and will try and show all damage and rust. The car is moderately straight for its age. It needs the pans replaced. The heater channels have pitting rust. The drivers side door pillar to the heater channel is rusted through. The passenger side bottom of the door and lower hinge area have rust. The outside of the battery tray has rust. The bottom of the spare tire area has rust through. The hood has a small crack near the bottom. The rear fenders are on the rougher side. There was a Frankenstein weld repair on one. Personally I think it goes with the entire patina look of the car. The bumper wholes have been elongated. The rear h apron is there but has rust through where the car sat in the dirt for a long period of time. The rear deck lid has the same area rusted through. It appears that maybe the deck lid had scoops from the 70's at one time with mounting holes. . The sunroof assembly is all there along with the golde handle. I have the seats that were taken apart as you can see in pics. One seat back is missing. The front door panels are ANOTHER bad 70s mod!The car looks to be originally a gray color, than black than red? The pressure washer removed some black so with some tedious work it could be brought back even more? In my opinion, this a pretty unusual car that would make an excellent patina type preservation type car. If you could repair the pan and the rusty areas, select what you want to do with the drive train and clear coat the body and roll it. The sky is the limit, Please ask ALL questions prior to bidding. Zero percent or negative feedback bids will be vetoed! This is a major project, not a weekend put together. I can assist in shipping at YOUR expense. The car can stay where its at for a bit with prior arrangements.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini

Mon, Dec 7 2015

If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.
