I bought this car last September from the son of a lady who owned it since 1965. I do not know much about the car other than what I was told and the documents/numbers I've researched and found. I have had the car a short time but times have hit me pretty hard and now Im forced to sell my baby. Everything on this car works except the windshield wipers (needs new motor), I only drive it on sunny summer days so it has never been an issue for me. It resides in a climate controlled storage in Grand Junction, Co when not being driven.
PAINT:
The car is RUST FREE, not a spec, not even surface rust.
It has original paint according to the PO, no respray of the exterior or interior. I believe it has been resprayed under the front hood though. It has slight oxidization on the roof and hood (minor but I want to be thorough). The front hood has nic's in the paint from Colorado roads and scratches along the passenger side of the car. It still shines perfectly for its age of paint and the cool factor of originality.
Body/Chasis:
Original body panels (fenders/hoods/doors etc.), Original pans and heater channels (still look AMAZING too! ZERO signs of rust). Original engine, but was rebuilt during a nut and bolt restoration (hence the non-original color scheme).
Electrical:
Wiring was redone and upgraded to 12v and a new aircraft style fuse panel was used to keep the NOS-style look but still perform. The ORIGINAL factory radio still works and is actually the ONLY radio in the car. All lighting (ext and int) works, and so does the turn signal cancel!
Interior:
The interior of the car is in great shape with no holes in the seats, carpet, door panels or headliner. The highback seats were installed to give the 96 year old previous owner better support and they are not original to the car.
The nitty gritty:
I will not ship this car, but I will help the buyers shipper load the car safely. A deposit of $2000 will need to be made within 24hrs of auction ending with the residual being paid within 48hrs of auction end. I will hold the car in my storage for any buyer up to 1 week of the close of this auction but payment will still need to be made within the specified time frame. I've set a reserve at what is reasonable for a car of this calibur. I'm not looking to get rich on this beauty but Im not looking to give it away either. I have the car listed on multiple sites and locally..... If my number is met outside this auction I reserve the right to end the auction early. LOTS of photos, please ask questions prior to bidding.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
