1970 Vw Baja Beetle on 2040-cars
De Soto, Missouri, United States
Up for sale is a 1970 VW Baja fresh pan off restoration. Many new parts, I’m sure I’ve missed writing a few down. It has a freshly rebuilt 1600cc dual port engine. It runs great and it hasn't even got to break it in yet. It shifts through all the gears without popping out. I just got it running this week and have only driven it a few times tuning it. The Baja is not insured so I have not got it out on the highway. The heat works and is hooked up to the front defrost, other vents are blocked off. Headlights work, turn signals work, emergency flashers work, both wiper speeds work (slow and slower), brake lights work, and the emergency brake works. All window rubber is new, even the vent window seals. Side windows have new felt and window scrapers.
The Baja is solid, all
rust was cut out and metal welded in. The battery tray was replaced and
coated on both sides with POR-15. Other small areas on the pan patched and then
coated with POR-15. Then I coated both sides of the pan with Rustoleum.
The front part of the channel and firewall have been patched, also coated in
POR-15 then Rustoleum.
It has a fresh paint
job, coated in Urethane base coat, clear coat. Color is called Reflex Blue.
There are no runs, the paint laid down nicely. There is some orange peel in the
clear but it has a very nice shine. Someone could always wet sand the clear to
get the perfect mirror finish if one wants, but I didn’t build this Baja for a
show car. It is a great looking, fun to drive Baja. I made it to enjoy, not
something to hide away in a garage. The rims, front bumper, rear cage, and nerf bars are painted in a single stage acryic hot road satin black. No rattle can paint was used on this Baja. Unfortunately, I do have a scratch next to the driver's outer door handle. The passenger window also has a scratch and some tiny chips. Engine specifics: New 34 pict 3 carberator,
New SVDA vacuum advance distributor, New fuel pump, New fan belt, New coil, New
NGK plugs, New Bosch plug wires, New Cam, New lifters, New crank bearings, New
cam bearings, New rod bearings, New rings, New exhaust valves, New clutch disc.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.

Volkswagen delivers with new Caddy van
Sat, Feb 7 2015As many models as the Volkswagen Group offers in North America, it has even more that never make the journey: models like the Scirocco and Polo but also entire brands like Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. That's the brand that gives us models like the Amarok, the Transporter and this – the new VW Caddy. Now entering its fourth generation after 1.5 million units sold around the world, the Caddy takes some of its underpinnings from the Golf and some from the Touran minivan to make a small work van, similar to the Ford Transit Connect or Nissan NV200, only more, you know... German. The new model obviously benefits from revised sheetmetal to bring its styling more in line with other VW models, but also gets new equipment as well. There are new safety features on board and a revised interior with an upgraded infotainment system. There's an array of engine options including a 2.0-liter diesel four in four states of tune, three gasoline engines (including a 1.0-liter three and 1.2- or 1.4-liter fours) and even a 1.4-liter EcoFuel version running on natural gas. And buyers will be able to choose as well between passenger and panel-van cargo versions. Unfortunately, as with the rest of its commercial vehicles lineup, Volkswagen doesn't offer the Caddy in North America. So if this is the type of vehicle you're looking for, you'll have to make do choosing from models like the Ram ProMaster City, Chevy City Express and the aforementioned Ford and Nissan. The new Caddy – always the best choice – world premiere for the fourth generation of the best-seller - Entry-level price reduced due to new versions - Emissions and fuel consumption reduced by new EU6 engines - Safety increased by new driver assistance systems - Design refined with clear edge Hannover/ Poznan, 04 February 2015: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is showing the fourth generation of the hugely popular Caddy for the first time. Around 1.5 million of the award-winning previous generation were sold worldwide during its eleven years in production. A success that the new Caddy is intended to continue because the urban delivery van and its privately used brother have been enhanced and refined in every area.
