1960 VW Pickup truck conversion. ONE OF A KIND
This 1960 VW sedan has been converted to a two seat pickup truck with a red oak and aluminum rack bed in the back. All of the body fabrication was performed by a professional California hot-rod builder. The rear of cab is one piece of hand fabricated steel; rear window (flat glass) uses a standard Bug rear window gasket. The fiberglass front hood flips forward on custom made aluminum hinges to allow access to the NOS gas tank and front trunk area. All wiring is new from front to back. Painted with Sikkens 2-stage Urethane. Paint quality is excellent. Hand fabricated truck bed hinges upward to allow access underneath. The rear “frame” is constructed of strong square steel tubing with an aluminum surround providing for a strong but light weight rear chassis. Very nice!! The interior has a GM S-10 tilt steering column with a very nice rose wood and aluminum steering wheel. The seats are Miata beige leather with speakers in the headrests and are fully adjustable forward and back as well as backrest position. The seating position is quite comfortable and roomy and, of course, the door panels match the leather seat color. The dash sports a good array of new top quality gauges as well installed in a custom built aluminum panel surrounding the steering column. The rest of the dash maintains the simple but elegant VW look. There are all new window gaskets, window scrapers and weather strips all around. The front and rear glass is new. The front axle beam has been modified to allow for front end height adjustment in traditional “buggy” style. The beam has been left at its stock width. There are new kingpins, tie rods, tie rod ends, steering damper and steering box. All this with new wheel bearings, stainless flexible brake lines, a new double master cylinder, new brakes and new shocks all around and all new tires as well. The engine is a VW 1776cc dual port with ported and polished heads, dual Kadron H40/44EIS carburetors that were just overhauled by the experts in California (a $600 job) and set up specifically for this engine configuration. The dual carb linkage set up is the new low profile design made specifically for this engine/carb setup. There is a custom oil sump with oil filter, external oil cooler, assorted aluminum and chrome goodies including a chrome shroud, customized tin and custom fabricated 1 1/2 inch tuned exhaust to let the hot air out. The ignition system is entirely new and super-hot including a new electronic distributor with mechanical advance. It all comes together as an easy starting little powerhouse that has lots of top end along with traditional VW reliability. This is a ONE OF A KIND VW HAND FABRICATED CONVERSION that draws a lot of attention but, more importantly, is a hoot to drive. There is a lot of photos available showing the progress of the work As with all sales involving this type of vehicle, there is no warranty of any kind either expressed or implied. This vehicle is being sold as-is with all faults. If you would take the time to review my feedback you will see that I haven't disappointed anyone yet over the past 15 years and the buyer of this VW won't be the first. |

VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak
Tue, Jan 27 2015The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Audi S4, S5, Q7, 2012 Audi A6, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles. In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding seals, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834 or Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 24AP for Audi customers and 24BK for Volkswagen customers. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. ### RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System may Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V016000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,368 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016
Mon, 13 Jan 2014On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox
Wed, Nov 26 2014Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.
