1970 Vw Bug Project Car on 2040-cars
Oceanside, California, United States
|
Classic project car 1970 VW Bug base model, California car all it's life with minimal surface rust underneath on the original chaise, one of the owners undercoated the car so it has the original floors still in good shape, and all the big rust arias have been fixed since I have had it.
1500cc single port motor just gone through and in good shape, not original motor, but the car came with a 1500cc single port. 4 speed trans. New carpet , new door panels, and lots of new parts. was painted cheaply but looks good and has all the trim on it. The seats are in good shape except for the drivers seat has a small rip on it's side upper. the headliner is shot but I have taped it for now.new tires a year ago and rims and all is in good shape to travel with it to your home, and drive for another 30k miles when the car is ready. The spare tire is blown but comes with a good rime to have for a spare tire. This was going to be my daily driver bug and is a gas saver, but I have to suddenly move back to the east coast and have too many cars. This car is still a project and is sold as is, needs may things to be a resto, but it's on it's way and has received lots of love, most of all it's a really good body for it's year and will be a charmer for a daily driver car or part time vw guy/ first car. I put on the tires and rims along with all the other parts. I rebuilt the 1500cc engine and installed it, was a running motor that leaked so I re gasketed everything. The car needs lots of parts to make it right, but has breaks and a good clutch. I have been working on it but have not test driven the car yet, is missing the exhaust but will include one after auction winner bids for the car. the shocks need replaceing and im working through the wiring to make sure everything is useable to the best that I can. I have not driven the car yet, it's only been a year in my ownership, so I'm not sure of all that it needs to restore or drive it, but Im selling it at a smoking deal here on EBAYmost of the essentials are handled. and it has 3 working pedles, the car is a solid fixable project and will need love to get it right. Car is sold as is and buyer needs to pick it up. The good news is if you have a truck with a ball hitch, they sell tow bars locally for VW for about $150. Hope this helps, and happy biding. |

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
VW still set on Phaeton redux despite cost-cutting drive and losing $32k per car
Wed, Jan 28 2015While critically well regarded, the Volkswagen Phaeton has proven to be a vehicle largely unloved by luxury buyers around the world. Despite this, it refuses to die. While VW's luxury sedan hasn't been sold in the US since 2006 due to low sales here, it has soldiered on in Europe with occasional updates. As the model's long lifespan has been winding down, VW has decided to keep pushing the Phaeton into a new generation, despite in-house alternatives like the Audi A8 and Bentley Continental Flying Spur. The move might not make much business sense, but Volkswagen executives are determined to make the Phaeton work. According to market analysts speaking to Reuters, developing the next-gen luxury sedan on the MLB platform could cost as much as 650 million euros ($737 million), despite relying on the same underpinnings in the A8. It's not like the Phaeton is leading the luxury sedan sales ranks, either. Reuters notes VW produced just 5,812 of them in 2013 (the most current year with data), and from 2002 to 2012, the automaker reportedly lost 28,000 euros ($32,000) on each example sold. Conversely, Mercedes-Benz sold 103,737 units of its new S-Class in 2014, an astonishing 82.2 percent jump over the previous year. The decision to keep the Phaeton going doesn't seem to square with the VW brand's cost-cutting strategy. Boss Martin Winterkorn announced last year a plan to save 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion) annually in the coming years. That plan reportedly also includes killing off less profitable models. Apparently, VW can't just rip off the band-aid and get rid of the Phaeton. Even some VW bosses seem somewhat perplexed at the sedan's business case. When Reuters asked the company's US boss Michael Horn about selling the Phaeton here, he said. "That's a dangerous question. It's an image bearer with no relevance for volume." The next-gen Phaeton is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2017 or 2018, according to Reuters, which is about a year later than previous rumors. A US launch will reportedly follow in 2018 or 2019 with the plug-in hybrid and potentially even diesel versions on offer. A starting price around $70,000 is estimated.
