Vw Volkswagen Beetle Bug 1970 Beetle 1776 Engine on 2040-cars
|
This is my good old 1970 Standard Bug. It has been with me a long time now. Loss of work unfortunately forces the sale.
The engine is a 1776 Mofoco build with hydraulic lifters. No need for constant valve adjustment. There is a deep sump on the engine too. It has dual Weber 34 ICT's, and upgraded fan and alternator and a rebuilt 019 distributor. The exterior looks nice. Nothing smashed. This car has its dents and dings I am sure. The paint is shiny. The headlights are H4. There is a PIAA center brake light in the back because around here people like to tailgate while on the phone and don't pay attention to what they are doing. Yes, the roof rack goes with the car. The interior is basic. It has pop-out rear windows. The seats are Scat Pro 90 and I like them. The rear seat is stock. It has ABS kick panels with speakers in them. It has a set of gauges being, Tach, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure,and Volts. New pedals. The headliner looks okay, not torn. It has front disc brakes that work great. It also has a heavy duty rear anti-sway bar. The transaxel is not original to the car, but it works great, no problems. Has new clutch and HD T/O bearing. The striping needs to be re-done or removed completely. The stripes are just vinyl. Has a spare and original jack. The pan was repaired years ago, passenger side. It was rusted behind the passengers seat. It has a new pan section welded in place. The inside floor was painted. The window trim is all good. All has been replaced. The wheels are period Enkei. Comes with two big plastic totes full of parts and spares. I will help assist your shipping company as best I can should you need to go that route. This little car is not perfect, far from it. In fact it is far from far from it, but it has been a great car and always easy to fix. The paint is not perfect. The interior is not perfect, nothing is perfect but it is a good driver. It has always been a driver and I hope it still will be. |

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
