1967 VW Baja


Purchased last week to turn into my daily driver.

Landlord is unhappy with my collection of non-running vehicles.  As this is the one I've put the least amount of sweat and blood and time into, I'm willing to list it for sale.  The 78 Chevy pickup from New Mexico already has a lot of my sweat in it, so I'd prefer to keep it.

I literally only know what the previous owner told me, and what I've witnessed with my own eyes.  I work a lot so I don't have time to mess with this.  Previous owner added an auxillary fuel tank and powered it with a tiny 12v fuel pump.  He said the fuel tank lines were clogged, and it was easier for him to add the spare tank than to mess with removing the original and lines.  Since he only used it for fun, goofin' around on his land, a small tank on the back was all he ever needed.  Says the small tank on back would prolly run it for a coupla hours.  Brake pedal goes to the floor, so it'll need a master cylinder at least.

This is an older Baja creation, with older (worn out) interior, but the pans are solid (save for under the battery tray) and the body is solid.  There's some rust-through where the side step rails used to be, but not so bad that it's structurally worrying.  It can be covered up by new side rails and stay like that forever, unless you're gonna take it up north and run it in the salty winters up there.  Previous owner drove it around last month and didn't have any problems with it getting around on his property...said he was actually impressed with the ride.  When I towed it home, it tracked straight and true, without any bad bumping or wagging, so it looks to me like it's in overall good shape, just needs some cleaning up and it can be put back on the road as a street legal daily driver here in Texas. This was my original intention, but the landlord is unhappy.

This is a project....will need brakes, battery, tune up, oil looks good (isn't dirty, isn't gas fouled), will need little things like the rear brake lights affixed more securely, better wiper blades, the basic stuff like that.

This lil Bug has got a lotta things that other projects don't have.  The interior is in bad need up updating, but it's VERY solid...the dash is in one piece, nothing is TORN up to pieces, all the metal is still in great shape.  The glove box is even in GREAT shape...for old cardboard that's really impressive ;-)  There's no animal nests inside, there's no front end body damage (isn't that how most Baja's are created anyway?), no bondo anywhere that I can find.  This lil bug has heart...it just needs some lovin to get back on the road!

I did get a chance to throw some jumper cables directly to the battery cables off my truck and the lil engine will spin over easily...in fact it's one of the better sounding v-dubs I've owned, which makes me not really want to get rid of it.  This auction is a test to see if the general public thinks this car, as-is, is worth enough dough to talk me out of it.  If someone wants it bad enough, it'll save me from having to pay for storage while I finish my 78 pickup...any dough I spend on storage will only slow my progress with the old Chevy anyway.  So...best of luck with the auction, bid early and bid often. ;-)

PS - clear Texas title, and I can deliver for one dollar per loaded mile from Canton, TX to your location, paid in advance via Paypal only (NO EXCEPTIONS).  The tires hold air well enough to tow, but it looks like they go down after a week, I'll throw some fix-a-flat in em before I start towing to you, that way if that'll fix it, it'll be fixed by the time the Bug gets to you.

Any questions...DO NOT ASSUME...please come check out this bug in person!  I will *try* to answer questions...but do not give me a hard time if it takes me a day or two to respond.  THANKS for reading!! :-)

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project

Tue, Jan 7 2014

It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
