Felton, California, United States

This sale is for 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 75.000.0 (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 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.

Recharge Wrap-up: First VW e-Golf in US up for auction, meet Project Ain't Fuelin'

Tue, Oct 14 2014

Volkswagen is auctioning the first e-Golf in the US to raise money for Global Green USA. The auction is live now, and bidding goes until 3:30 pm Eastern on October 29. Global Green USA will use the proceeds to help find solutions to climate change, and the winner will get to enjoy emissions-free driving before the car e-Golf goes on sale in November. If you don't live in or near California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington DC, you might want to sit this one out, as the car will only be available to pick up at dealers in those initial launch states. Go bid now, or learn more in the press release below. Berlin, Germany will use Solaris electric buses for a complete bus line in 2015. The downtown line will run 3.8 miles between Zoologischer Garten Station and Sudkreuz. The transport operator Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) will use four of the Solaris e-buses for the test, each about 39 feet long. The buses use a 200-kilowatt inductive charging system at the ends of the line to recharge in just a few minutes. The government-funded test runs through 2016, but BVG pans to use the electric buses beyond that timeline. Read more at Green Car Congress. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is worried that the Obama administration will use ethanol requirements to influence a Senate race in Iowa. In the midst of a close race against Republican Joni Ernst, Representative Bruce Braley, the Democratic candidate, is urging Obama to reject a cut in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The November election approaches, meanwhile the EPA continues to delay issuing an ethanol requirement for the year, with or without its proposed 16-percent reduction. Rejecting the cut could help get farmers and ethanol producers on the side of Braley. "We are very concerned that the signals we are seeing from the administration is that the political calculations are outweighing sound fuels policy," says API's Bob Greco. Read more at Businessweek. Project Ain't Fuelin' aims to fix up old cars to return them to original fuel economy, and then surpass it. Episode 3 of Valvoline's Under The Hood video series features Daniel Gray of MPGomatic, who is doing just that to a 1999 Honda Civic HX Coupe. He aims to get 50 mpg out of the old Civic by tuning it up, tinkering with the aerodynamics, switching to more efficient tires and other modifications.

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
