 Up for sale,  A very rare occurrence,  Two 1973 Volkswagen Squarebacks, bought as a pair from the dealer,  one is a manual and one is a automatic, both in the same color and trim.  They look identical except for the badge automatic on the back and the sticks.  Both cars are straight with minimal rust.  The automatic is currently running and driving but still needs going through.  The manual currently has the engine removed and sitting in the back ready for a freshen up.  I was told that it ran when it was removed and was only removed to make it more powerful.  Both cars have been off the road for a few years but were very well loved by the couple that purchased them new for many years with service records upon service records.  Receipt for a somewhat recent rebuild on the auto engine which runs like a top and does not leak.    The rear tail lights on both cars have cracks from age and bumps.  Both cars rear benches are not as good as the fronts which look to have been redone at some point.  There are owners manuals and emissions booklets, There is some rust on the front passenger fender of the automatic from water or gas possibly from rain gutter drip.  I have an additional yellow fender that I will include to replace if desired.  It is not that bad and can be seen in the pictures.  The manual has some rust on the bottom of the rear fenders on both sides.  both cars have some rust on the inner fenders that can be seen only when the paneling is pulled out of the front trunk.  The automatic has an aftermarket fuel pump in it currently.  I have the original Bosche for the five speed that runs with a battery hooked to hit but condition is unknown. The brakes on both cars are weak and need at bleed at minimum and i may have them improved by the end of the auction but no promises.  The handbrakes work on both cars.  The automatic transmission shifted smooth when I drove it.  The manual has new tires on it and the auto has old tires,  could be swapped since the auto is currently running.  I have not buffed out the cars because I like the patina but I think it would buff out nicely should you want to bring back the original color.  The floorpans and underneath of the car look solid with no holes.  These cars lived their lives in sunny Colorado and have been spared salty roads and lots of humidity that many areas kill cars with.  These are a few details, I will try to answer questions honestly as I feel that these are very special in any state being a pair that has always been together since new.  Both cars are fuel injected.

Note 1:  Drove auto today and added brake fluid,  brakes are working better,  also wiped down with wet cloth and the original paint really came through without even buffing.  Pics of interior are coming soon,  cars are cleaning up nicely. 

Note 2:  Both cars have their spare tires, and hubcaps on all 8 wheels,

 Note 3: you can see in the latest picture of the manual where i washed it a little that the yellow paint is still yellow under the oxidation.  I will try to add pictures of the engine in the manual as well. 


On Jan-25-13 at 11:44:33 PST, seller added the following information:

 Note: In that recent picture are receipts for engine rebuild and flywheel work,  also there are 7 service logs fuel of info as well as the two Colorado titles on the cars.  These cars are being sold without emissions test, and buyer is responsible for their own but they do from my knowledge have emissions systems on them and include the emissions manuals as well.  They should qualify as pre emissions cars here in Colorado since they are from 1973.


On Jan-25-13 at 23:56:33 PST, seller added the following information:

 I am not sure of exact mileages on these cars 

These cars are being relisted due to a non paying bidder.  If you are not located in the U.S.  please do not bid on this item.


Cars are now listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale

Sat, Jun 18 2016

"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
