This striking, unalterated bay-window Single Cab survivor has spent most of its life in southern California where it was first purchased at Santa Monica VW in 1969.  The original CA blue & yellow license plates are included with sale.

I purchased it in 2009, brought it to Florida and put it to work as a local delivery vehicle for our chocolate business. 
It is now in retirement in New Mexico.  
Mechanically, the engine starts quickly and drives very strong, steering is tight and straight, suspension is firm.  The drive train was thoroughly gone through within the last 3k miles with new brakes, tie-rod ends, king-pins and shocks.  The Hankook LT tires are like new and have less than 4k miles on them.  The body is virtually rust free, with only minor surface rust beneath the driver's floor mat and corrosion from the battery in the right-rear corner of engine compartment. The bumpers are new chrome and nicely match the fine condition of the chrome mirrors, headlight trim rings and VW emblem.  Interior is clean and in excellent condition given its age (see photos).  The heater boxes are solid and provide plenty of heat to the cab as they should.

This is the finest daily-driver you will ever encounter.  It has always been well maintained and cared for.  It would be a short step to complete a full restoration, if so desired, but I've always preferred the comfort of owning classic vehicles which can be driven without fear of depreciating the restoration.

I am more than happy to answer any of your questions about this Single Cab, just ask me.

Thanks for looking!

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Mercedes, Nissan and VW slammed by China's CCTV

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Several automakers in China, including joint ventures with Nissan, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, are in hot water because their dealers are allegedly overcharging customers for repairs. China Central Television, the country's state broadcaster, leveled the claims during its annual Consumer Day expose. CCTV runs these reports each year on March 15 and often takes aim at foreign companies operating within China. This year the focus fell on automakers, according to the Financial Times, and no domestic car companies were targeted. The network also accused dealers of overselling parts, and it took aim at Jaguar Land Rover specifically for problems surrounding transmission repairs, according to Reuters. The yearly stories are often criticized for focusing on outside businesses. "It panders to a certain type of nationalism as it tends to target foreign companies and rarely touches large state groups or monopolies," Qiao Mu, a journalism professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said to the Financial Times. Foreign automakers seem to face tighter scrutiny when doing business in China than their domestic counterparts, in general. The government there investigated several luxury brands, including Audi and BMW, last year for how they supplied spare parts and whether the components were overpriced. Some incurred fines, and Lexus decided to lower its prices. Volkswagen also experienced protests when owners felt the company wasn't handling a recall properly. The CCTV report also comes as many auto dealers in China are feeling a pinch due to high mandated sales targets from automakers. The situation was so dire in early 2015 several brands cut back sales targets and in some cases even paid the sellers to offset poor profits.
