1955 Volkswagen Baja (black Widow) on 2040-cars
Olympia, Washington, United States
|
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. |

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
French probe alleges 2 million PSA cars had engine cheats
Fri, Sep 8 2017PARIS — A French investigation into alleged emissions cheating by PSA Group found that suspect software had been used on almost 2 million vehicles sold by the maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars, Le Monde reported on Friday. Paris-based PSA denies any use of fraudulent engine software, a spokesman said in response to the newspaper report, which sent PSA shares sharply lower. The stock was down 4.4 percent at 17.78 euros as of 1019 GMT. So-called "defeat devices" restrict exhaust output of toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) under regulatory test conditions while letting emissions far exceed legal limits in real-world driving. In February, PSA became the fourth carmaker to be referred to French prosecutors by the country's DGCCRF watchdog over suspected emissions test-cheating, after Volkswagen, Renault and Fiat Chrysler. PSA's engineering chief acknowledged at the time that emissions treatment in the group's diesels was deliberately reduced at higher temperatures to improve fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in out-of-town driving, where NOx output is considered less critical. According to Le Monde, an internal PSA document obtained by DGCCRF investigators includes discussion of the need to "make the 'defeat device' aspect less obvious and visible." However PSA insists there is nothing fraudulent or illegal about its engine calibrations. "PSA denies any fraud and firmly reaffirms the pertinence of its technology decisions," the company said on Friday.
