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.

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
How VW's hyper-efficient XL1 will influence the next Golf
Mon, 18 Aug 2014In 2007, the European Union mandated fleet average CO2 emissions of 158.7 g/km. For 2015, that figure will drop to 130 g/km, and the target for 2020 is an ambitions 95 g/km. Thanks to some German politicking, that target will be phased in from 2020 to 2024, but it will still apply to 80 percent of passenger cars in that first year. In US miles per gallon, that's the equivalent of going from about 35 mpg to 42 mpg to 57 mpg. The current Volkswagen Golf is rated from 85 g/km of CO2 to 190 g/km depending on model - and zero for the e-Golf, so for the next-generation MkVIII hatch due in 2019, to meet the goal, Volkswagen engineers will need to introduce a bunch of new tricks. According to a report in Autocar, VW be mining its hyper-efficient XL1 for some of them.
Predictions for the next Golf include a variable-compression engine, an electric flywheel and an electric turbo, along with taking greater advantage of coasting. Volkswagen could be getting help from Audi with the electric turbo and variable-compression engine and electric turbo, with Audi already having shown off the former and brand technical boss Ulrich Hackenberg confirming the VW Group is working on the latter. It's possible the flywheel system could also have the mark of The Four Rings: Autocar mentions a British system that Volvo is testing, but the R18 e-tron Quattro racer has been using one for years.
The need for such features is because the company won't be able to net enough future gains from just aerodynamic improvements and advanced materials. As price will be a factor (the regulations are expected to "add hundreds of euros to the cost of building a car"), adding much more aluminum or carbon fiber is an unlikely option. We're told the next generation won't be longer or wider than the current car, and being Europe's most popular model, VW doesn't want to make a big bet on futuristic aero, but the report says the MkVIII will "likely" have "the most aerodynamic treatment yet seen on a production vehicle," the area where lessons learned from the XL1 will truly be seen.
