32 FORD DASH WITH DAKOTA DIGITAL GAUGES AND BUDNIK STEERING WHEEL, POWER PLANT IS A CB PERFORMANCE 2.0 WITH FUEL INJECTION INCLUDING A 911 SHROUD AND ALTERNATOR. FULLY POLISHED BUILT TRANS, EXTERIOR OF THE CAR IS A DE CHROMED BODY, WITH 57 FRONT FENDERS (INCLUDING MERCEDES HEADLIGHTS). DOOR HANDLES , SEMAPHORES, TAILLIGHT AND DECKLID. HOOD HAS BEEN HAMMERWELDED TO MATCH DECKLID (LOTS OF HOURS), ALL SPRAYED PPG BLACK 2 STAGE. CAR HAS BEEN LOWERED VIA SELECT DROP 5", NARROWED BEAM & SWAY AWAY ADJUSTABLE SPRING PLATE, ROLLING ON 16" BUDNIK'S WITH BFG'S. THIS CAR WAS BUILT "NO EXPENSE SPARED" IN 1999, THEN SOLD AND DRIVEN UP AND DOWN AN EXTENDED DRIVEWAY FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THE ENGINE HAS VERY VERY LITTLE MILEAGE ON IT, IF ANY. AS REPORTED,THE ELDERLY OWNER WAS SIMPLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT . WHEN I GOT IT I HAD IT SORTED OUT BY A LOCAL PORSCHE EXPERT WHO ALSO MEASURED AND ADJUSTED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I RESTORED A 1963 MERCEDES SL TWO YEARS AGO, I KNOW WHAT AN ALL METAL PROJECT LIKE THIS WOULD COST TO BUILD TODAY. YOU WOULD HAVE TO SPENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $ 75 000 TO $ 100 000 DOLLARS TO REPLICATE THIS CAR , IF YOU WANTED THIS KIND OF QUALITY. I AM GIVING IT AWAY FOR LESS THEN A QUATER OF THAT AMOUNT ! SO, IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT , AND YOU ALWAYS WANTED ONE LIKE THIS, GRAB IT. SOME WARNING ; THE PAINT LOOKS WONDERFUL AND HAS SOME IMPERFECTIONS THAT ARE NOT VERY NOTICEABLE. ( VERY FEW NOSES, SMALL CHIPPING) . THERE IS ALMOST NO RUST, APART FROM MINOR SURFACE RUST IN THE FRONT UNDER THE CAR WHERE IT HAS HIT THE GROUND , BECAUSE IT RIDES SO LOW. ONLY 2 OR 3 PARAMETERS ARE WORKING ON THE DAKOTA DIGITAL DASH INSTRUMENTS. CAR COMES WITH THE FULL MAUAL OF THIS DASH AND THE GAUGES NEED TO BE TURNED OR PROGRAMMED IN . THIS CAR HAS A MODIFIED DASH AND FRONT WINDOW WITH NO WIPERS AND ALSO DOES NOT HAVE SIDE WINDOWS. I HAVE MOST OF THE WINDOWS PARTS BUT NOT ALL , AS SEEN IN ONE PHOTO. WHAT IS MISSING IS ONE MAIN SIDE WINDOW AND ONE BACK SIDE WINDOW. (THE FRAME IS THERE) WHAT WINDOW PARTS YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. IT CANNOT BE ROCKET SCIENCE TO GET THE MISSING WINDOW PARTS FROM WOLFSBURG WEST. I BELIEVE THERE ARE NO MODIFICATIONS ON THE DOORS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT REINSTALLATION OF THE WINDOWS , IF THAT IS WHAT YOU DESIRE. CAR COMES WITH A BIG FOLDER WITH LOTS OF BILLS FROM GENE BERG ETC. I AM SELLING THIS CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AT HAND. I AM NOT GIVING THIS CAR AWAY OTHER THEN TO MY GRANDCHILD. (SORRY) BUT I KNOW THIS IS A MORE THEN FAIR WINTER PRICE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. THERE ARE MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS ON OLD BUG COM. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND SEEING THIS CAR BEFORE YOU BUY, SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS , UNLESS YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE BUG NUT AND REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS. IT IS EXCEPTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK (AFTER CLEARANCE), NO PAY PAL . I NEED A NON REFUNDABLE $ 1000 WITHIN 72 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE ! THANK YOU FOR LOOKING |

Dyno run hints VW GTI power might be significantly underrated
Wed, Feb 4 2015Are you one of the lucky owners of the 2015 Volkswagen GTI? If yes, you should be happy, because your 210- or 220-horsepower hot hatchback might actually have more like 260 ponies under its hood. That's according to a dyno test from a vendor on, of all places, a Ford Focus ST enthusiast forum. The company is estimating a 15-percent drivetrain loss with the GTI's best result a whopping 263 horsepower and 314 pound-feet of torque at the crank. That's a tremendous difference from the 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque that Volkswagen claims. Of course, this is merely one dyno session on one car. We'll have to wait until more 2015 GTI owners get on the rolling road to see if Volkswagen really was as conservative about its hot hatch's output as FocusST.org claims.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut
Tue, Oct 21 2014The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
