1970 Volkswagen Transporter on 2040-cars
Felton, California, United States
You are bidding on a used, standard 'walk-thru' 1970 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER. I'm listing for a friend, who has owned it for some time....all 'SERVICE RECORDS' available for the last 12 years. Overall condition is good, nothing fancy....the body has a few small dents, the largest is on the right rear corner. The front end (nose) is good with no major dents, drivers door & passenger door and the sliding door open and close with ease. All glass is in good condition. Drivers side window rolls up & down with no problems, however the passenger side window does not, the handle just spins...so I'm guessing the spline is stripped. All vent windows work. Rear hatch and engine deck lid open and close very well. Both are in good, dent free condition. Both hinges on deck lid are sound, and original spring holds the deck lid up. Rear hatch stays up when opened. All lights work, including turn signals and the back-up lights. The motor is a stock 1500 single port. I'm not sure how many miles are actually on this motor, for the sake of listing this ad, I just entered 75000.0 (you never know with a Volkswagen), however it runs very smooth, quiet and still has plenty of power. 12 volt system. Drum brakes all around, in good condition. The interior is fair, original headliner....front seats are comfortable and come with seat belts, both middle and rear seats are missing, although the seat belts are still present and attached to the floor. Front floor has rust on both sides...the drivers side will eventually need repair. Although this Volkswagen has spent most of it's 'life' in the Santa Cruz, California area, it's very solid, as with just about all vintage Volkswagen's, it has it's share of rust (please see pictures). The cargo floor, has minor rust, no rot out...the frame, jack ports, dog legs all very solid. The top is rust /dent free, drip rails good....Comes with original aluminum belt trim, however the piece above the gas door is missing. All doors, rear hatch and engine lid lock. Both front & rear bumpers firmly attached. Original 15" steel rims, with hub caps...tires are fair, but I would replace. Comes with spare tire and original cover... inside left rear corner This Volkswagen is currently registered and comes with a clear title.
As I stated, I'm listing it for a very nice lady, with a very 'reasonable reserve' as she no longer needs it. I've tried to describe it as best as I could, however I'm sure I missed something....All buyers welcome, overseas included... although I cannot ship this vehicle, I can meet with and assist your shipper. Successful bidder will need to move vehicle with-in one (1) week after purchase. If you need more time, we can talk about it. Storage costs may or may not apply. This vehicle is located in Felton, Santa Cruz county, California. If your local, and would like to see it, I will need to contact the owner for an appointment. Please remember this is a 44 year old Volkswagen..... it's been around the block a few times, so review all the pictures and if you have any questions or would like more pictures, please contact me at: 408 294 9789. Please don't wait until the last day to request additional pictures as I will need to travel. If I'm not home, please leave your name and phone number and I will get back to you. Sincerely, Bruce. |

Recharge Wrap-up: AutoNation CEO calls anti-Tesla laws unnecessary, Common Pence donates subway money
Thu, Nov 13 2014Volkswagen has presented a list of near-term technologies to improve fuel economy and decrease emissions. The list includes an addition to a coasting function in its stop-start system, a 10-speed DSG transmission and a more power-dense four-cylinder TDI engine. Volkswagen aims to be the world's most sustainable automaker by 2018 through electric mobility, improved design and increased environmental performance from internal combustion vehicles. Volkswagen also announced other technologies for increased interactivity and connectivity in its vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Commence Pence is a system that allows subway riders in London to donate their unused transit money to charity. People visiting the city often load up enough on their subway card (called Oyster Card) to get them through their trip and end up with unused funds leftover. Zander Whitehurst, a British designer, has created a device that can use the card's RFID to accept leftover funds, which then get diverted to charity rather than reverting back to the agency in charge of running the subway fare system. See the video below or read more at Wired. Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation has called Michigan's efforts to ban Tesla's direct sales in the state "unnecessary protectionism." The statement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it dissents from the majority of auto dealers who support a franchise model, as well as laws that forbid automakers selling directly to the consumer. "If Elon Musk wants to make a mistake and go with an inefficient distribution system, that's his right as an American," says Jackson, showing he feels he has little to fear from the electric automaker. Jackson has more to say on the matter, which you can read over at Green Car Reports. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed
Tue, Jan 13 2015There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements.

German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche
Fri, Feb 27 2015Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.
