AWSOME RUNNING AND DRIVING 68 VW CUSTOM "NO RESERVE" I purchased this fun little VW a couple of weeks ago from a fella in North Carolina that I was delivering a 29 Model A frame to. He made me such a great deal that now fellow ebayers should be able to get a fun time for a good price. I have only driven the buggy about 20 fun filled miles but I got a good feel for the condition right away. The little Roadster starts right up and idles just like it should with no funny noises, oil or exhaust leaks. The engine, which I do not know the size of pulls strong with no skips or flat spots in the power band. The transaxle and transmission work perfectly with gear selection and clutch sharp and crisp, no play in shifter. The vehicle ran down the road strait and true and stopped strait with no pull from the 4 wheel drum brakes. The wheels are CABO's with 245/35ZR 20s all the way around with about 80% tread left. The body is a full fiberglass replacement finished in yellow Rhino lining for durability and ease of cleaning. It has a working speedometer, tach and oil pressure gauge (40 psi @ idle). The interior is carpeted thru out the cockpit in black with nice yellow piping against the firewall and the transaxle tunnel. Yellow shifter boot and e-brake cover along with the nicely covered (no tears or holes) front and back seats finish off the interior. The VW is 100% street legal with working headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, horns and seat belts front and back. The outside tub of the vw is finished in cut to fit stainless steel sheeting and has linear 2' white lights located. The bikini top is practically new and shows no age. It has a working Kenwood stereo with removable color matching speaker box. The only non working items are the fuel gauge and volt gauge which I will try to sort out before the auction ends. The engine is dressed with headers, see thru dist cap, chrome air cleaner, chrome belt cover and chrome valve covers. Overall the VW roadster is in above average condition with below average normal wear and tear for the year and quality of the conversion. The roadster is not perfect and is showing some age on the chrome front bumper, some chipping and surface cracking in the fiberglass and interior scuff marks from getting in and out of the vehicle but overall presents itself very well in pictures and in person. I have done my best to describe this vw and it comes with no warranties written or implied however, If you the buyer upon delivery in person feel like I have lied or deceived you in any way in this description I will refund your deposit minus fuel cost (if I deliver) and we can go our separate ways still friends.. I can deliver the VW up to 750 miles from 36067 on an open trailer for $1.25 a loaded mile. If over 750 we can negotiate. Please feel free to ask questions or request additional pictures. |

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success
Tue, Mar 25 2014Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.
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.
