Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback 1973 Still Solid After 41 Years on 2040-cars
Low Moor, Virginia, United States
|
For your consideration a VW classic Type 3 Squareback in very nice condition for a daily driver or as a restoration project. The engine starts and runs, transmission shifts with no problems. Both have been checked out in a test drive. It has been lowered by the previous owner who also installed Airkewld Bad series disc brakes on all 4 corners. They are set up to receive a Japanese 5 bolt patterned wheel (Scion late model XB). Brakes work very well with this setup. The engine is equipped with Dual ICT's. The interior is in fair condition as the passenger seat is torn but the headliner, drivers seat, rear seat and door/rear panels are in good condition. The exterior is faded and has some very minor surface rust that can easily be sanded and repainted. "There is no rust through in these areas that are photographed" I tried to detail the condition of the rust in the pics so please examine closely and feel free to request additional pics, no disappointments! The Body is very solid and straight with minor dings but only a few. I could find no rust in the usual places for the T-3's and again I made an attempt to capture those areas in the pics. It also needs a front windshield, I have a new seal for it. All the additional glass is in good shape the seals would need to be replaced. Doors open and close evenly and solid. Electrical works, the PO also changed the front turn indicators for earlier model T-3's, an "ok" job but there it is! Please email with your questions or to request additional pics of specific areas. It also comes with a nice set of used BUDNIK custom wheels setup for the stock VW bolt pattern. Please understand this vehicle will need additional work to become road worthy but as it sits it's a very nice foundation for any Type 3 VW enthusiast!!! Don't forget to bring a trailer and Bid with confidence ...... NO RESERVE!!!!

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job
Tue, Mar 24 2015Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
