I am a dealer that sells Little Guy Teardrop Trailers. This trade came in last week. It was stored in a barn in Julian California so it is truly a "Barn Find". The previous owners gave me all the service records from when the car was originally sold on 5/26/1962. These will be supplied with the car. They also gave me a box of miscellaneous parts that also come with the car. They told me that the car is original except that it has been upgraded to 12 volt. Besides that they said it is original and they would hate to see it chopped up. I am a TRAILER dealer not a vintage car dealer so I will try to describe it the best that I can. Feel free to call to get more specific info.

The miles read 87554 but I would have to think that has been turned over. The paint looks original and shows the patina on the hood. The car needs paint. All the chrome seems to be there but again for a restoration you would need to rechrome. This is a 1962. It needs paint.

There is no visible rust and underneath looks wonderful to me. The car starts every time and goes through all the gears like I would expect. Brakes seem fine. The people that traded it in had to drive it about 90 miles to bring it here. It drives fine. It does need paint.

I have not done anything to it (thanks to the Antique Road Show) no wax, nothing since I don't know what I would be doing and a restorer would want to see it the way it came out of the barn. It needs paint.

Glass looks to be the original German but again I am not a pro. It has California black plates. Feel free to call and ask anything.

I am selling it as a no reserve auction. Buyer will be responsible for transportation from San Diego. $1,000 deposit will be required within 4 days of winning the auction and full payment within 10 days. Because I am a dealer California buyer will be subject to Doc fees of $65 a $15 license transfer fee and tax based on where you live if you are a California resident. Also this car is ACTIVELY FOR SALE so we reserve the right to end the auction early if it is sold at the shop.

Feel free to call 858 229-0558 or e-mail at LittleGuyTrailers@sbcglobal.net or stop by and see it. 8148 Ronson Rd. Ste A, San Diego, CA

Volkswagen pushed back against Takata airbag recall

Mon, Feb 15 2016

Volkswagen and Audi will recall about 850,000 vehicles in the US to replace their Takata-supplied driver side airbag inflators, but the automaker doesn't believe the safety campaign is entirely necessary. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company pushes the agency to re-evaluate the recall's scope because the parts are allegedly safe, it claims. VW asserted in the letter, which NHTSA posted online (as a PDF) with other documents about the company's safety campaign, that the vast majority of the automaker's recalled vehicles used Takata inflators from the supplier's factory in Freiburg, Germany. Only the US-built Passat had components from Takata's plant in Mexico. VW's argues to NHTSA that its recall is unnecessary because there are no reported airbag ruptures in the German-made parts, and the plant has better quality control than Takata's factories in the US and Mexico. In addition, the Mexico-manufactured components in the Passat are also allegedly safe because they come from a time after significant upgrades to the plant to address humidity and welding concerns. "We do not believe the facts known to date support the scope as defined in the Takata defect notification," VW's letter says. To be clear, VW is not refusing the Takata recall and plans to fix the affected vehicles. Instead, this letter shows the automaker expressing an opinion that NHTSA's scope for the campaign is too broad. VW now plans to do its own analysis on the inflators to strengthen that case, according to The Detroit News. "We respectfully request that, should such results be shown, the agency work with Volkswagen and other manufacturers to revisit the scope of these recalls," the letter said. Takata's recalled inflators use ammonium nitrate as a propellant, and experts believe that long-term exposure to high humidity can make the chemical more likely to cause a rupture during airbag deployment. The spray of metal shrapnel from the exploding parts has links to at least 10 deaths. Related Video:

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.

VW TDI ads star four 'salty' ladies and a stinky dog named Tuna

Sun, Mar 22 2015

The Kim Kardashian sex tape just keeps on giving: it brought the Three Golden Sisters to our attention, and now Volkswagen has used their comedic, Bronx grandmother schtick to promote its TDI engines. The ads are another round in the fight against the malicious perceptions of diesel – like how they're slow and loud (they aren't), that it's hard to find a station to refill (it isn't), and that they stink (they don't). Tanner Foust makes an appearance in one spot to dispel the notion of sluggishness, and Tuna the Dastardly Dog proves that she (or he?) can outstink a diesel any day. You'll find Tuna in the ad above, the other three ads are below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
