Up for auction is this 1967 California Black Plate Type III    VW  Fastback.   I purchased the car from and older lady, and her daughter.   I have never been much into VW’s but this one captured my attention.   On tight windy roads this car actually handles better than my 67 GTO.  These cars are not your average bug , as they are distinct.   I have found that even in her current condition some who are not familiar with Type III’s  become curious about them, as they are unique.   Type III's utilize a pancake motor and thus have two trunks.  One in the front and rear of the vehicle.   They were available in three models.   Squareback, Notchback and Fastback models.   This car is a running drivable car.   Her name is Heildigard (Hilldi for short).  She has some rust although is an overall solid car.  Floor pan patches are needed at drivers area near pedals and under battery  as far as I can tell,  also in areas shown in photos.   This is not the car to buy for your son or daughter to be driven as is.  She does need work.  It is a good project for the person with mechanical skills, or to be handed over to a repair specialist.  Hagertry Classic Car Insurance stated  the value of this particular model restored was  $17,000.   The brakes need attention to drive Hilldi as she is.   The car does run and drive as stated in the auction listing and comes with a carpet kit. We are not sure if the mileage is actual or exceeds the limits of the odometer,  No mileage noted on title (pink slip).  Please see odometer photo.  The car should be trailored, or trucked to her new home if your are the winning bidder.   The car is for sale with no warranty , where is.  Buyer has the sole responsibility for cost of transportation of the vehicle to her new home.   I will make myself available to coordinate with your  shipper  for pick up from its current  location.  I have described the vehicles condition to the best of my ability.  Please order your own inspection prior to bidding with ample time for review  prior to auctions end.    This is your chance to a special piece of automotive history.   Type III  VW’s are fuel efficient becoming  less  and less common.   Title in hand ready to singed over to the winning bidder.   If car is sold, and or shipped outside of the state of California license plates are not included as part of vehicle sale.  We reserve the right to end the auction at any time, as the car is for sale locally.    Bidding on Ebay is a legal agreement.   Non paying winning bidder(s) will be reported to Ebay.   Payment Instructions:  Winning bidder to pay deposit in the amount of  $200.00 through Pay Pal within 24 hours of auctions ending, with remaining balance to be paid in full  by cashiers check, money order  sent  via UPS, Fed-X  DHL with delivery signature required  within 10 days of auctions end, or complete transaction may be cancelled by seller and/or  vehicle re-listed.  Vehicle will only be released once funds have cleared our bank.  The vehicle is for sale to a number countries outside of the U.S.A.

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.

BMW, VW partner with ChargePoint for high-speed charging network

Thu, Jan 22 2015

To promote their plug-in electric vehicles, a number of electric vehicle makers are working overtime to get a charging infrastructure set up. Tesla is famously setting up a network of Superchargers around the world, and today BMW and VW have announced they are partnering with ChargePoint to install almost 100 DC Fast Chargers up and down the US coasts. Installing additional Level 2 chargers is also part of the plan. The new DC Fast Chargers will offer the SAE Combo connectors, which is available on both the e-Golf and the i3. The fast chargers will have "up to two 50 kW DC Fast chargers, or 24 kW DC Combo Fast chargers," BMW says. They will be installed roughly 50 miles apart between Boston and Washington, DC in the east as well as Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego in the west. The 24-kW DC Fast Chargers will fill up an empty i3 or e-Golf to 80 percent in a half-hour or 3.5-4 hours from the Level 2 cords. Speaking at an announcement ceremony at the Washington Auto Show today, ChargePoint CEO Pasquale Romano said that infrastructure investments like this will get more people to realize that they can use an electric vehicle as their only car, and Jorg Sommer, VP of product marketing and strategy for VW North America, said that it's clear that, "The EV is perfect for the daily driver." BMW, Volkswagen and ChargePoint Join Forces to Create Electric Vehicle Express Charging Corridors on the East and West Coasts. · A goal of nearly 100 DC Fast charging ports will be installed to support long distance and metropolitan electric vehicle travel with the BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf and other electric cars, along heavily trafficked corridors on both coasts, supported by Level 2 chargers. · These publicly available charging stations will be added to the existing ChargePoint network and can be easily accessed using a ChargePoint® or ChargeNow card. Washington, D.C., January 22, 2015 – At the 2015 Washington Auto Show, two of the top automakers, BMW of North America and Volkswagen of America, together with ChargePoint, the largest electric vehicle charging network, announced an initiative to create express charging corridors along heavily-traveled routes on the East and West Coasts.
