1972 Volkswagen Squareback Kasan Red Auto Gas Heat Lots Of Accessories! on 2040-cars

1972 VW Squareback.
For the good: Car was restored in 2000. New shocks and lots of mechanicals were replaced at same time like rotors, calipers, steering box, shocks, etc. Body was stripped to bare metal and received new outer lower rockers, POR'ed, and repainted in original single stage. There are some chips and a few scratches, but probably nothing that can't be polished out since it's single stage. All new rubber was installed as well as a a new headliner and new carpet. Transmission was rebuilt and used engine was put in after previous engine failed. We had it fitted with dual weber carbs. Generator was just replaced recently, as the original died from running the gas heat all the time. Tires were replaced less than 500 miles ago as well. Car is fitted with a sony cd changer, but with original radio and upgraded single center speaker. All vinyl is otherwise original and in excellent condition. VDO guages for oil temp, pressure, and cylinder head temp are all functional. For the bad: I'm taking this to the extreme - I don't want anyone to be unhappy. It's a great driver and with a little work, can be a show car. Car suffered from being driven lots and also from being stored outdoors for many years seeing rain and snow. Car has some rust in the front tire wells down where the pan meets the body. Pan also had some rust holes in the rear battery area so has some so-so repairs there. No spare tire or spare tire well. Gas heat pump sometimes doesn't want to run from lack of use. Takes a bit of priming to get it to work. Bumper and bumper overriders have some corrosion - bumpers were re-chromed and NOS overriders installed, but they did not age well. Engine leaks oil - we will have it serviced prior to pickup with fresh oil. Wiring is functional, but not pretty. Air intake grills on rear fenders have some bubbling and probably need refinishing at some point. No rear seat belts. Odometer does not work. Lots of upgrades: Factory clock delete Factory coco mats (a little UV fading) Factory rear mud flaps Factory parcel tray Factory gas heater NOS dash (now starting to crack a little) NOS gas cap flap rubber NOS driver's side VW blind spot mirror Nardi steering wheel (cannot tell if this is repro or original - it is very nice quality regardless) Original EMPI wheels European tail lenses Used rare/vintage Hella driving lights - make sure you see everything at night! Similar to those used on Porsche 356s. CB performance rear disc brake conversion Electric fuel pump I used to drive this car all the time, it just hasn't been drive in the last two years much, so time to sell.

VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success
Tue, Mar 25 2014Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.
German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Recharge Wrap-up: AutoNation CEO calls anti-Tesla laws unnecessary, Common Pence donates subway money
Thu, Nov 13 2014Volkswagen has presented a list of near-term technologies to improve fuel economy and decrease emissions. The list includes an addition to a coasting function in its stop-start system, a 10-speed DSG transmission and a more power-dense four-cylinder TDI engine. Volkswagen aims to be the world's most sustainable automaker by 2018 through electric mobility, improved design and increased environmental performance from internal combustion vehicles. Volkswagen also announced other technologies for increased interactivity and connectivity in its vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Commence Pence is a system that allows subway riders in London to donate their unused transit money to charity. People visiting the city often load up enough on their subway card (called Oyster Card) to get them through their trip and end up with unused funds leftover. Zander Whitehurst, a British designer, has created a device that can use the card's RFID to accept leftover funds, which then get diverted to charity rather than reverting back to the agency in charge of running the subway fare system. See the video below or read more at Wired. Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation has called Michigan's efforts to ban Tesla's direct sales in the state "unnecessary protectionism." The statement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it dissents from the majority of auto dealers who support a franchise model, as well as laws that forbid automakers selling directly to the consumer. "If Elon Musk wants to make a mistake and go with an inefficient distribution system, that's his right as an American," says Jackson, showing he feels he has little to fear from the electric automaker. Jackson has more to say on the matter, which you can read over at Green Car Reports. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
