1974 Volkswagen Thing Type 181 Safari recently restored with lots of new original parts and very low milage (19250 miles or 30800kms) and in perfect mechanical condition, starts right up and drives smoothly. This particular car is mexican and was restored by the president of the Classic Automobile Club Chapter Morelos and that is why the Morelos classic car plates, i traded it to him 4 months ago for a very original 1967 Plymouth Barracuda 318/270hp 4 bbl LA engine and 4 speed partially restored, the owner had it for sale at $10,000 USD and my reserve price is lower. Im selling it because im moving back to the US and need the money to cover for the expenses it involves. The title is the original sheet and all the original documents and history are included as well as a CD with over 200 pictures of the whole restoration process. All the gages and electrical devices are Hella and work flawlessly as well as the close ratio transmission with double CV joint and 1600cc engine, to my knowledge this was the only year with the big 1600cc engine and the short ratio transmission (which is very desirable and fun on an off road/summer time car) combination, brand new off road tires (Tornel is a mexican brand and i believe were the original model as they were sold here), original seat covers, windows, top, etc. As with any car of this vintage there are a few little details (cosmetic) that are hardly visible, easy to repair and do not interfere with the driving experience at all. I just recently took this car to the World Rally Championship that took place in Leon Guanajuato Mexico and it behaved and climbed with no issues at all and better than most modern SUVs, also just last weekend i took a 900km road trip to a surf contest in La Ticla Michoacan and the car didnt have a single issue and every body was in love with it, its a great attention getter and conversational piece. The car has been relisted due to me asking my dad to borrow one of his accounts because mine had an unactivity period of 4 years due to my relocation to Mexico when i lost my job back in the '09 rescession and turns out his account had an 8 year unactivity period which he forgot to tell me, regardless mine and his account have flawless positive feedback. The car is located in Central Mexico and will be delivered in Laredo TX after a $500 Paypal deposit at the place and time of your choice. Also the deposit will be returned in full and the Paypal fees covered by me in case of any misshaps. Any requests or questions feel free to ask through e mail or call 001 52 (443) 281 0037 with Rudy for inmediate answer in english or spanish, thanks. |

German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche
Fri, Feb 27 2015Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
