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.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.
