4 Car Lot 1966 & 1970 Volkswagen Bug, 1974 Vw Super Beetle, 1971 Squareback on 2040-cars
White City, Oregon, United States
Please read the entire description and terms of sale before buying or asking questions.
Here we have four project cars for sale in one lot. #1: 1966 VW Bug...red. Reluctantly I'm putting this car up for sale. I was planning on building this car, but I have many projects going on right now. It's a good solid project worthy of building. The body is fairly straight and solid. Nice heater channels, nice A-pillars and even the floor pans are good. It has a some body filler coming off on the passenger rear quarter and a small amount of wrinkling on the RH side of the front apron area...which would be hidden by a fender or a pretty easy fix. I remember looking at the floors last year and they were pretty nice other than surface rust. Obviously missing parts and has NO engine. Don't know if the brakes work. No title unless it's in the car somewhere, the keys are in the ignition. (I may consider taking this car out of the lot.) #2: 1970 VW Bug...yellow. It's a good solid project worthy of building. The body is pretty straight and solid. This car is pretty complete with all seats. Has an IRS transmission still in the car. Obviously missing some parts and has NO engine. I don't know if the brakes work. I think it will need some floor pan work, but it's a west coast car, so it's simple sheet metal. It's been sitting next to a tree, so that's why it looks dirty, it has a nice body. I have a clear Oregon title and the key here with me. #3: 1974 VW Super Beetle...orange. Good solid dry body. Missing engine, trans and other parts. I don't know if the brakes work. Assume it needs floor pan work, but it's a west coast car, so it's probably just simple sheet metal. There is no title or key that I know of, unless they are in the car. #4: 1971 VW Automatic Square Back. It's a worthy project. The body is fairly straight and solid. The car is pretty complete minus the steering wheel and carburetors. It has an engine and automatic trans in it. I do not know their condition, but my dad did say that the engine would turn by hand. I don't know if the brakes work. It will need floor pan work as the floors are bad, but it's a west coast car, so it's probably just simple sheet metal. I have the keys here with me. There is no title that I know of unless it's in the car. Assume the tires will be flat on all these cars when you get there and assume you will have to load them your self. If you are having a transport truck pick them up, I can see about getting someone to air up the tires. There is a bend on the driveway that won't accommodate a full car carrier. Maybe a two or three car carrier at the most will make the corner. I'm not going to state all the obvious as these are all project cars. I took all these pics about a month ago. I can send a bill of sale for all the cars or you can use this listing for your bill of sale and handle that on your own. I prefer to sell all four together as I want to keep it simple as possible. I may keep the 66 and break them up if they are here after this listing. I have two 67 bugs here in Ca. to use for what ever parts I need to mostly complete the 66. I will sell them or part them out once the 66 is gone. Terms of sale: These cars are located on my Grandfathers property in Southern Oregon in White City / Sams Valley (Medford area). A $500. NON refundable Pay Pal deposit is due immediately after winning this listing. I'm located in Capitola Ca 95010. The full balance is due in my hand within three days of listing end. I will accept cash in person to me in Capitola Ca., US Postal money orders sent to me in Capitola Ca. or I will accept bank deposit or wire transfer (add $30.). If you need to over night the payment to get it here on time, please do so. NO other forms of payment are being accepted. My Grandfather runs a company and is very busy, he doesn't have the time to show cars. You will need to make your decision based on the pictures and information I have provided. By winning this listing you are accepting these used project vehicles in their current condition regardless of all their faults or imperfections, title or registration status etc. Buyer is responsible for setting up transporting these cars and all costs involved.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
