1970 Vw Bug Project Car on 2040-cars
Oceanside, California, United States
|
Classic project car 1970 VW Bug base model, California car all it's life with minimal surface rust underneath on the original chaise, one of the owners undercoated the car so it has the original floors still in good shape, and all the big rust arias have been fixed since I have had it.
1500cc single port motor just gone through and in good shape, not original motor, but the car came with a 1500cc single port. 4 speed trans. New carpet , new door panels, and lots of new parts. was painted cheaply but looks good and has all the trim on it. The seats are in good shape except for the drivers seat has a small rip on it's side upper. the headliner is shot but I have taped it for now.new tires a year ago and rims and all is in good shape to travel with it to your home, and drive for another 30k miles when the car is ready. The spare tire is blown but comes with a good rime to have for a spare tire. This was going to be my daily driver bug and is a gas saver, but I have to suddenly move back to the east coast and have too many cars. This car is still a project and is sold as is, needs may things to be a resto, but it's on it's way and has received lots of love, most of all it's a really good body for it's year and will be a charmer for a daily driver car or part time vw guy/ first car. I put on the tires and rims along with all the other parts. I rebuilt the 1500cc engine and installed it, was a running motor that leaked so I re gasketed everything. The car needs lots of parts to make it right, but has breaks and a good clutch. I have been working on it but have not test driven the car yet, is missing the exhaust but will include one after auction winner bids for the car. the shocks need replaceing and im working through the wiring to make sure everything is useable to the best that I can. I have not driven the car yet, it's only been a year in my ownership, so I'm not sure of all that it needs to restore or drive it, but Im selling it at a smoking deal here on EBAYmost of the essentials are handled. and it has 3 working pedles, the car is a solid fixable project and will need love to get it right. Car is sold as is and buyer needs to pick it up. The good news is if you have a truck with a ball hitch, they sell tow bars locally for VW for about $150. Hope this helps, and happy biding. |

VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO
Fri, Feb 27 2015Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."
VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
