This is a fun Baja. Has small repair done in both front wheel wells (see pics). 15ft paint job. It has some runs and body work is rough. Body has some very small dings. Interior has some wear and tear. For a 55 it is in great shape. Odometer reads 30k, but it only goes to 99k so I'm sure it has passed 100k once or twice. Many additions were placed on this car. Converted to 12V. Windshield washer with electric pump. Blinkers with auto shut off. Fuel gauge. Hood hinges with springs. KC side lights. After market transaxle has taller hardened gears so it cruises at 70mph. Trans is strapped to prevent breakage when driving off-road. Motor was built to a 2110cc and has the new EMPI 2 barrel so none of those Weber problems. Skid plate installed under motor and trans. Fuel tank is in the rear of the car with a quality fuel door installed. Also fuel relay behind driver seat allows the fuel to be shut off or switched to an additional tank. The wiring has been gone through and well organized with a new fuse block. Electrical all seems to be in good working order (horn too). Spare set of rims and tires are great in the snow. They have less than 200 miles on them. The Club and a fire extinguisher are included. History: It was purchased in California. The family drove it for many years and gave it to their son. He got in a front end accident in the 70's. He then turned it into a Baja. Made a few trips into Baja California (tags are still in the window). They moved to Oregon and eventually gave it to their son in the early 2000's. That's when they replaced the trans and motor. He joined the Marines and left it at a friends in Washington where it sat from 2005 until 2012. I bought it January of 2013 and performed some TLC to get it back on the road. I drive it a few times a week. I prefer Paypal, but other types work too. Buyer is responsible for shipping, but I can help with arrangements. |

Former chairman Piech opposing his nieces' VW board nominations
Fri, May 1 2015Someone needs to option the rights to the Ferdinand Piech story for an HBO series, because it perfectly mixes the corporate intrigue of Mad Men with the family drama of The Sopranos. Plus there are some cool cars. In the latest episode, Piech isn't happy with Volkswagen's appointment of two of his nieces – Julia Kuhn-Piech and Dr. Louise Kiesling – to replace he and his wife on the automaker's supervisory board. The recently ousted chairman could try to stop them. According to German publication Bild, Piech thinks his two relatives lack the necessary automotive experience to serve on the board. Therefore, he suggests one-time Ford Premier Automotive Group boss Wolfgang Reitzle and former Siemens manager Brigitte Ederer to take the seats. However, a VW spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that there were no objections to the women's appointment, except for this story from Germany. Piech's nieces are already officially appointed to the VW supervisory board, and it's approved by the Braunschweig Local Court in Germany. His only real option to challenge them would be to file a lawsuit, according to Automotive News Europe. While the new appointees don't have their uncle's decades of history in the auto industry, they do have business experience. Dr. Kiesling has a degree in vehicle design from the Royal College of Art in London and is the managing director of an Austrian textile maker. Kuhn-Piech works in real estate sits on the supervisory board of German truck maker Man.
Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava
Sun, Apr 12 2015Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.
