1965 Volkswagen Single Cab - Custom Shorty

This is absolutely the finest VW Single Cab custom shorty in existence!!!

It was built by a VW-only restoration shop in Southern California. No expense was spared during its 8-month rotisserie restoration. Every single nut, bolt, and part is new...I mean absolutely everything. And, the parts are not swap meet Chinese junk. Only the highest quality parts that money could buy were used to build this shorty.

This shorty is 100% rust-free, and the paint and body are incredible. I will let the pictures prove it. The PPG paint was sprayed in original colors from a 1957 Chevy...tropical turquoise and India ivory. It has less than 800 miles on the odometer. I had this shorty built for my wife (my other shorty) to drive while we are visiting our second home on Maui. She just doesn't enjoy driving old vehicles as much as I do. I already have a 23-window Samba, so this single cab shorty is getting sold to a lucky new owner.

Besides owning it as your personal ride, this shorty would make an incredible investment as an advertising vehicle for any company. We cannot drive this thing anywhere on the island without getting more attention than we sometimes even like. Make sure to add an extra 20 minutes to every trip to the beach (or supermarket) to allow time for random picture takers and VW conversations!

Here is a non-inclusive list of high-end parts:

Front Safari windows - stainless steel (from Wolfgang International)

Rear Safari window - stainless steel (from Wolfgang International)

Complete chrome door window frames (chrome-plated at California Plating in San Diego, CA)

Polished deluxe trim on beltline, drop gates, and bumpers with black rubber inserts (from Aircooled Accessories in UK)

Front disc brakes (conversion from VW bay window bus so parts are readily available)

Gene Berg performance shifter with reverse lock-out (added feature as a theft-deterrent)

LED headlights (from Truck-Lite)

LED custom tail lights (fabricated to fit inside OEM housings)

Vintage Speed exhaust

Blaze-Cut fire suppression system

Viper alarm with custom sensors and remote notification

Ultima Red Top battery

European bumpers (powdercoated RAL9016 traffic white)

15" VW original crowsfeet rims with all hubcap clips (powdercoated RAL9016 traffic white)

Good-Year Custom Super Cushion 2-3/4" whitewalls (205/75R15)

German-quality VW stainless steel hubcaps

Custom 17" wood steering wheel

Custom 2-tone brown interior with white piping and hidden pleats

Chrome door pull handles

Chrome interior grab handle

Chrome radio block off plate (not shown in pictures)

Chrome drink holder (not shown in pictures)

All new rubber and glass throughout entire vehicle

Gerson metal (green metal) used for all rust repairs, including doglegs, pickup bed and custom drop gates

The list literally goes on and on and on....

Every single part on this vehicle is brand new, from engine lid hinges to wiring harness to complete brake system to mirrors and everything in between. Also, the entire frame, undercarriage, wheel wells, inside and bottom of doors, etc. was coated with POR15. I had anticipated it would spend its life on Maui, so every precaution was taken to prevent rust from ever forming on this beauty. Wherever you live, rest assured this shorty will remain in pristine condition despite the weather (or salt on the roads).

Please feel free to email me or call me with any questions. (808)856-1468. The vehicle is located on Maui, but it has a clear CA title and it is registered in CA until August 2014. No warranties of any kind. Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges and liabilities, but I will gladly assist in helping with the shipping process. For example, I will deliver it to the port of Kahului in Maui free of charge. To help gauge your expenses, I know that shipping charges from Kahului, HI to Long Beach, CA via Matson Ocean Services is approximately $1,100.

This vehicle is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. If my reserve price is met during the auction, however, I will agree to let the auction run its course with this shorty going to the winning bidder.

Please ask any questions and have your funds secured before placing a bid. I am an honest seller, and simply want a smooth transaction. As a California attorney, I have ways to complicate your life, so please do not complicate mine. Also, if you have a feedback score of less than 10, you must contact me before placing your bid. Otherwise, I reserve the right to cancel your bid.

Lastly, if you have serious interest in this vehicle, feel free to call me to end the auction. (808)856-1468.

Good Luck and God Bless!!!

I forgot to mention that the engine (1600cc single port), transmission, and gear reduction boxes were all completely disassembled and rebuilt using only new parts. The entire vehicle is brand new, and can be driven anywhere...and you can only imagine the U-turn capabilities of this thing! Also, when you consider the incredibly bright LED headlights and LED tail lights, and the front disc brakes, this shorty was made to drive anywhere at anytime, and as safely as possible.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

VW teams up with legendary electronic musicians Kraftwerk for 3D Autobahn concert

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Electronic music fans know Kraftwerk. To paraphrase a famous TV anchor, they're kind of a big deal. The band is in the midst of an eight-concert show at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, which includes a full 3D accompaniment. Why, you ask, is this on Autoblog, then? Well, Volkswagen is sponsoring it, highlighting the role that its iconic Beetle played on the band's equally iconic fourth album, Autobahn. And besides, it's Friday afternoon, and who doesn't want to listen to the soothing synth notes of early EDM pioneers? Check out the featurette on the connection between VW and Kraftwerk, and then for giggles, scroll down and give the first track of Autobahn a listen. This content is hosted by a third party.

Automakers face reality of EVs' cost — to jobs, and their bottom line

Tue, Sep 12 2017

Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany Â— European car bosses gathering for the Frankfurt auto show are beginning to address the realities of mass vehicle electrification, and its consequences for jobs and profit, their minds focused by government pledges to outlaw the combustion engine. As the latest such announcement by China added momentum to a push for zero-emissions motoring, Daimler, Volkswagen and PSA Group gave details about their electric programs that could give policymakers some pause. Planned electric Mercedes models will initially be just half as profitable as conventional alternatives, Daimler warned Â— forcing the group to find savings by outsourcing more component manufacturing, which may in turn threaten German jobs. "In-house production is almost irrelevant to the consumer," Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche told reporters on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show, in the midst of a German election campaign in which automotive jobs have loomed large. The company set a target of saving 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) by 2025 to help fund the cost of its electric cars. "Daimler is the first company to state explicitly how much electric vehicles are going to hurt margins," said Bernstein analyst Max Warburton. "It was brave to go first Â— but of course it won't be the last." Volkswagen, for its part, said it was seeking new global supplier contracts to source 50 billion euros ($60 billion) of electric car content including batteries, which are not yet manufactured competitively in Europe. "A company like Volkswagen must lead, not follow," Chief Executive Matthias Mueller told reporters. VW diesel emissions-cheating exposed by U.S. regulators in 2015 triggered global public outrage, dozens more investigations into test-rigging by the wider industry and a push by some lawmakers to ban diesel and eventually all engines. TIGHTENING NOOSE Tesla shares jumped nearly 6 percent on Monday after a Chinese minister said it was a question of when, not if, Beijing bans fossil-fuel cars, tightening the noose around the combustion engine. France and Britain have promised its outright abolition by 2040. But PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, said it was concerned about the risks if consumers were left behind in the rush, and a new generation of battery cars does not sell.
