Last Of The German Built Rabbit Golf Diesels. 5 Speed, 1.6l, on 2040-cars
Morrison, Colorado, United States
|
Rabbit Diesel, L Model, top of the line. Mostly original. ALL Original parts included if you wish (engine, tranny, steering wheel, shift knob, 4 wheels and lots more) Last of the german built. Great condition, but, all is new. New Engine 1.6L instead of original 1.5L, rebuilt special 4S 5 speed tranny imported from Germany. This special tranny gives the car an overdrive that is not too high a gear, so the car can pull hard in 5th gear. New Upgrade to GTI Brakes and suspension all the way around. Body is rust free, but there has been maintenance. GTI brakes and sway bars. Great car and real fun to drive. Not slow, keeps up with traffic just fine and will cruise at 75 MPH and get 50 MPG. Normal MPG is 42-55, that I have seen, but only 5000 miles on the new driveline. This car is running great at Denvers 5800 feet altitude. It will be faster and more fuel efficient at sea level. Everything works, paint is original but well worn. Interior is gorgeous but dash is shot with great cover on it. Car is a classic and sitting covered in a garage for winter. This is not for your kid, but a car to be cared for as there are few left in this condition. What the car needs The paint is original, I was working towards full exterior repaint in Original color, but budget prevented it so far. Right front fender is crinkled. I did it and feel bad. I have had fender off, but needs to be replaced at re-paint. There are none of these original german diesels left. They were built only 77-79 before moving to US built. The modifications I have made have raised comfortable cruise speed from 65 to 75 MPH. Starts year round no problem. Block heater, side passenger mirror remote control, Deluxe leatherette seats, original material but re-stuffed with modern foam. No rust, except some from scratches that need upkeep. Spare paint to match. Original stripes still visible on outside, but someone damaged the paint trying to remove them. This car drives great, handles great. Loads of spares. Very few of these left. I have classic car insurance and it sits covered in the garage most of the year. I am a professional mechanic and build all sorts of cars. Karl I just had to rescue. Colorado car all its life. I believe I am the second owner, other that dealer that I bought it from. Includes Car cover, manuals and more. Original owners manual, warranty manual, and dealer sales literature. |

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
