68 Vw Tub Buggy on 2040-cars
Year:1968
Mileage:3000
Location:
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
The buggy is titled in the state of Ohio as a 1968 vw roadster and street legal.
I have owned the buggy for 3 years and have slowly been updating the engine. Didn't know much about VW's before buying and have learned more than I wanted too about air-cooled vw's. If you are new to VW's -- be sure to do your homework or you might be buying a project. The first year I owned mine I seemed to always be broken down on the side of the road. The buggy has a new re-built 1835cc dual-port motor and I only have put 2,000 miles on it so far. The transmission has also been upgraded to a 3-rib IRS (later style) transmission shaft and throw out bearing with new clutch plate. It's a salvage transmission, not rebuilt, and shifts perfectly. Reverse and all gears shift easily with no grinding. The buggy has also been totally re-wired because the original wiring had problems. LED taillights to ensure you are seen in traffic. Buggy has roller gas pedal but can have pedal added. A new Weber progressive carburetor (32/36) DFEV carburetor with electric choke fuels the motor. The distributor has been upgraded to a 009 pointless distributor with built in pointless pickup. A full flow oil pump with filter has been added. The 12 generator was removed and replaced with a modern alternator. Ceramic dual exhaust system was added. A new speedometer which shows miles since new motor and fuel gauge also works. The volt and oil pressure gauge need wired to work. New front seats have been added. The seats don't recline but can move back and forth for adjustment. The passenger seat cover has a small hole but the color of the seats always can be changed with new seat covers. The seat covers cost around $40.00 each. The buggy has a bad boy air horn installed and just had a front wheel alignment. The buggy's motor and performance are excellent. Nice rumble sound and has some power. Top speed is around 80-85 but I can go faster if traveling downhill. People always ask top speed by hearing the engine when I am driving around town. I have to remind them it's a 4 cylinder engine powered by 1960's technology.Things which still need done on the buggy: It still has drum brakes and could be upgraded to disc brakes on the front to ensure better stopping power. It does need cosmetic work but this is a turn-key buggy ready to drive. You can call and ask for Mark (216)-799-6555. You can also text me or e-mail with any questions. I tried to explain all parts on the buggy but ask if you have any questions in case I forgot something. I also can include a used tow-bar used to transport vw buggies and single roll bar which I removed because it was a hassle for passengers to enter the back seat. If out of the state of Ohio: check your laws because some states don't allow buggies to be titled for street use or make it difficult. do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers On Jul-24-14 at 20:35:38 PDT, seller added the following information: Reverse lights work when shifter is placed into reverse - no switch is needed. The wiper works at one speed but won't help in rain. |

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.
Recharge Wrap-up: unofficial Tesla ad, VW will produce Budd-e
Fri, Jan 29 2016An unofficial Tesla commercial pays homage to the automaker's namesake. The video, which shows the Model S driving through a dusty, petroleum-addicted landscape reminiscent of a Mad Max film, features words from a speech by electricity-obsessed inventor Nikola Tesla. While Tesla (the man) talks about advancing technology into the future through electricity, the cars surroundings switch from the barren oil village to a green countryside dotted with wind turbines. See the video above, and read more at Treehugger. Famous rapper Akon is a Tesla fan who wants to power Africa with solar energy. Akon, who once boasted a collection of 28 exotic cars, traded them in for four Teslas, including a Model X. Also, his organization Akon Lighting Africa provides free solar electricity and lighting to communities that need it. Clean Technica talked to Akon about solar power, Tesla and EVs in a video. See the video and read more at Clean Technica, and get more perspective from Teslarati. The Volkswagen BUDD-e EV may be moving to production. The electric vehicle, built on the MEB modular platform with looks borrowed from the Microbus, made its debut as a concept vehicle at CES this year. Volkwagen's Dr. Volkmar Tanneberger tells Car magazine, "You will see a car that looks a lot like this, on the MEB platform, reach production. I can't say exactly when, but 2020 or thereabouts." He also says that the California camper van and Transporter van will continue production with internal combustion engines. Read more from Car. The 2017 Kia Soul EV will have more range. While it is scheduled for some minor updates, upping the electric Soul's driving range from its current EPA rating of 93 miles will hopefully attract more customers than a simple facelift. Autocar spied the next Soul EV testing in some heavy camouflage, but it offered no other details about the range beyond its reported expansion. Read more from Plugin Cars.
