Very clean and well cared for 1982 Caddy.  Engine is 1.9l conversion from Eurospec Sport with 5000 miles on it.  Intake and exhaust manifold are from Europe and made for the 1.9l NA engine.  Starts first crank every time and easily maintains 80mph even up moderate hills.  Diesel injectors and pump still 1.6 but work fine.  In addition, truck comes with very rare factory Power Steering and AC both working.  Transmission is 5-speed manual with no issues.  Clutch, brake calipers, shoes/pads, shocks, wheel bearings and rotors all replaced same time as engine.

Interior is all original with an added CD player under glovebox.  Rear window is hard to find 3 piece.  Sliding glass broke and currently replaced with plexiglass but original hardware still on hand.  Only defects in interior are two tears in driver seat.  Power locks installed in 2008.

Front end is off 1991 Cabriolet.  Truck was involved in minor accident in 2008, new paint and front body panels at that time.  Paint is not to my high standards but not the worst.  Originally came back to me with bumper from '91 Cabriolet as well but no paint behind bumper.  Hated the bumper and replaced but paint still not fixed.  Rear bumper was just removed as I was going to make custom bumpers and repair minor dent from when rear ended in 2002(so minor, damage not even noticed till 3yrs later).  Small spot of rust under rear window passenger side.

I am second owner of this truck and have had it since 2001.  It has been the most dependable vehicle I've ever had.  Paint in the bed is still original and has had a mat in it since the day it came off the lot as far as I can tell.  I put the first ever scratch in it around 2002.  In 2011 head gasket needed replaced and I elected to take the opportunity to install a new 1.9L to give it some extra power.  Due to military deployments and moves the install was not completed until late 2012.  I have since been fine tuning and working to get the full potential out of engine.  Recently I received larger intake and exhaust manifolds from Germany designed for this engine and installed a new MagnaFlo exhaust.  Truck easily reaches 80mph and I hold in the fast lane any time I need.  With the exception of when it was down for engine swap this has been my daily driver for 12yrs.  I really hate to sell her but I have found a new project and the wife says something has to go.  I have lots of extra parts and accessories that come with the truck.  Only thing that doesn't go, is the original window sticker(I'm framing that baby).

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

Lamborghini could be sold or spun off from the Volkswagen Group

Sat, Oct 12 2019

Volkswagen is reportedly considering a sale or stock listing for its high-end Lamborghini brand. The German automaker is looking to fold the Italian supercar brand into a separate legal entity, reports Bloomberg, which cites "people familiar with the matter" who don't want to be identified "because the deliberations are confidential and no decisions have been made." Any of this sound familiar? The goal of spinning off Lamborghini would be to stockpile more cash and other resources for VW's massive planned push into electric vehicles. Back in March, reports circulated that Volkswagen's "Vision 2030" corporate plan might include plans to focus on the brand's core brands — VW, Audi and Porsche. That means the futures of fringe players like Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, motorcycle brand Ducati and design firm Italdesign (and note this isn't a comprehensive list of brand's under the expansive VW Group umbrella) are up in the air. VW, according to the report, is targeting a market value of $220 billion, which is a big jump from the brand's current $89 billion valuation. Bloomberg pegged Lamborghini's valuation at around $11 billion back in August, buoyed by sales and profits generated by the introduction of the Urus sport utility vehicle. On the flip side, Lamborghini is currently grappling with how best to update its supercar lineup in the face of ever-increasing emissions regulations.
