1963, Vw, Type 3, Notchback, Push Button, Super Rare, Runs & Drives, Clean Title on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
What we have here is perhaps one of the rarest found VW's of all time. This is a must have for VW & especially Type iii enthusiasts. These hardly ever pop up on the market in complete running and driving condition with a clear title, so now is your chance to snatch one up! I'm personally a huge fan of the car and thoroughly enjoy driving it. Every time I take it out someone gives thumbs up or asks about it. If I could keep it longer I would, but space is an issue where I'm located and I don't want to put it in storage. This car deserves to be driven and loved by someone who knows what it is and how special of a car it is. I always try to be as brutally honest as possible in all my business on eBay. I'm providing the most accurate information to the best of my knowledge. 3rd party inspections are welcomed as long as the company you hire comes to me. Please note that we are taking about a 51 year old car and not a 2014. Yes it runs and drives good and yes you can enjoy it right away without any work to it. But its not a new car so please don't expect it to be one.
Conditions Report: Powertrain: Solid 1600 runs strong and 4 speed stick shifts smooth. I was told when I purchased it that the motor had been recently rebuilt. The only evidence that I have is the way it runs. Good power, No smoke, no smell & only leaks a little drop of oil. If you know VW's, you know they all leak. Suspension: Car will pull to the left if you release your hand from the wheel. Brakes work but are soft, It may just need some adjusting. Otherwise feels very smooth going down the road. Tires have plenty of tread but are older.
Electrical: The push button headlights, tail & stop lights, wipers all work but the flashers and signals do not. The speedo doesn't operate either. There is a radio in the car but its not working either. Interior: Complete and in really good shape for its age. The only noticeable wear is to the door cards as they have become weathered and worn. Otherwise pretty sharp looking. Paint and Body: Paint looks great from about 10 feet away. Up close you will notice bubbles and some runs. Body is very straight for the most part but has one noticeable dent above the drivers side rear panel. The car also has a bit of rust on and around the doors and a little above the rear trunk lid. I did not notice any major rust to the pans or other places than mentioned above. Most of it is surface and I'm confidant that a qualified body man would be able to repair and remove most all of it. The car also has an aftermarket sunroof which is a little bit of a turn off to the purest collectors. Overall: This is one cool very rare old car! You never see these around and it catches a ton of attention if that's what your after. The only thing that I would personally do to it if I was to keep it would be to work on the signals and brakes. Otherwise, its a really clean weekend cruiser just as it sits. Please take the time to watch the videos posted as they give a real good scope of car.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year
Sat, Dec 27 2014It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change. Other News And Views 1984 Audi Sport Quattro heads for the auction block If you're into '80s rally cars, you're really a car person. But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.
Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap
Fri, Nov 6 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
