1959 Volkswagen double cab.

I love this truck, however, some people asked about a price at a show this weekend and i started searching around, and found something else I'd like to drive. If it sells, I get what I want. If not, I keep the truck I love

About the truck. It's an early sept 59. Seamed gates, but not seamed roof. Stock height, 15's, safari's, registered, insured, ready to drive home if you are ready for a road trip in a classic.It's got a very cool look, faded paint, surface rust, something you can't fake. Interior is decent, seats redone, etc. runs drives stops and is registered and insured in the state of Texas. The headlights running lights and brake lights work, the turn signals do not. Probably an easy fix and I will look into it.

The body is in pretty good shape. I bought it from some idiot that lied to me about it's condition. I got it running very well, starts every time, lol, changed the battery. Dp intake seals, tuned, timed, cap, rotor, etc. its,12v, trans is a big nut later model, so retains stock height but better gearing. It cruises 65 easily, and I've done 71mph. All the brakes are redone, new hard lines, new soft lines, new wheel cylinders, new shoes, new front drums, new bearings etc. new shocks all the way around. It grinds a little into 2nd unless you double clutch. Mechanically it's solid and ready to drive now.

It's pretty clean body wise. The corners, rockers, nose, etc are good. The front floor needs the left and right sides done, but it's still solid and driveable. The rear floor is pretty nice, no rust under the back seat and back to the firewall. That's where they always rust. That stuff is clean. The front cross member has some rust, so does the rear door bottom, otherwise it's pretty clean. The bed is super clean, except an idiot cut a little square in the bed. I have new Garson metal for it, but haven't welded it up, yet. The last gate is new and perfect, blended in. The rear and right gate are original and in decent shape, but rusty at the hinges. Cheap fix if you just want to weld em up. They function as is and I throw bikes in the back and roll all the time.

The seats are reupholstered stock by the best in the business, front and back. Door panels are nice, but i don't have thereof panels or rear door panel. Dash is uncut. Wolfgang safaris are new. One pop out latch was broken and I replaced it with an excellent one. The speedo isn't hooked up, don't know if it works, but it's sunburnt and looks bad,I would assume it doesnt. I have been looking for a good one for a good price but haven't found it. The red and green lights do work. I added a new right side mirror. Most of these parts were bought at Wolfsburg west, ISP west or Wolfgang. I added a cigarette lighter for the GPS and iPhone, I added a pretty ridiculous stero system that will be included with the buy it now price only. Sony stereo, with Bluetooth, big JBL 5 channel amp, 2 12 inch audioque 12's under the back seat, etc.

Ive made long distance freeway trips recently with no issues. If you know an air cooled vw, if it does 65 on the freeway for an hour, it'll do it 2000 miles. That said, it's an old truck. Things happen and I can't offer any kind of warrenty. I will assist your shipper, and will even help you find one. Of course you can come check it out in Houston Texas. I do think it would drive anywhere and you would wear out before it did.

The price isn't cheap. It's a 59 double cab, it's got a great look, and it runs and drives well. Find another 59 cheaper...you can't. Please feel free to email me with questions, or very specific pic requests, but if you start wasting my time, I will stop communicating. Check my feedback, I'm solid buying and selling cars. Ithis is one of my dream Vw's, but I've found something else, a couple parties are interested and this is the fairest way for all parties involved. I get my price or I don't.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox

Wed, Nov 26 2014

Following 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.
