Early this year, I came across this cool little car in Ohio. I bought it with the intentions of restoring it myself as a summer project car. As luck would have it, I'm now on kidney dialysis and just can't do this type of work anymore much to my disappointment. The previous owner told me that he bought it 5 years ago from a woman in California who owned it for awhile and drove it across the country twice. It was trailered from Ohio to my home in PA and was driven off of the carrier. It started right up with no problems. The engine is a 4 cylinder with a 2 barrel Holley carburetor. The transmission is a 3 speed automatic on the floor. This car needs fully restored. The body itself is pretty solid with some body work that the last owner started. The roof is gray and is good with a very small tear on the drivers side. All the glass is present. The windshield is wrapped in newspaper and set into it's space but not attached yet. The back window is glass. The bumpers are with the car. The front one is on the car and the back one is off but in nice condition and ready to be attached. The wheels have hub caps on them. It needs the rocker panels replaced. I've already purchased them and they are included with the car. The brown vinyl interior is in fair condition. It needs a good cleaning. The dash pad is cracked but a new one is included to replace it. The passenger door panel is okay and on the car. The driver side door panel is not on the door but is in the car right now and not in very good shape. A new carpet is included but needs installed. All of the trim is present. It's off of the car but ready to be put back on. There is no back seat. The original tail lights were removed and stored in boxes and are in good condition. The original exhaust, which has dual pipes, is on the car and sounds good. The color of the car is called Groovy Green and quite an attention getter! I believe it was painted at least once in it's life time. That didn't really matter to me when I bought it though as I planned on repainting it anyway. Yes, this car needs some TLC but is an absolute great project car! It's just a really neat, fun car that could bring a lot of enjoyment to the right owner. It certainly would be a show stopper at any car show once it is brought back to life!

VW has received several tentative bids for Ducati
Thu, Jul 20 2017Italy's Benetton family is vying with motorbike firms and buyout funds for control of Italian motorcycle brand Ducati, which is being sold by Germany's Volkswagen, sources involved in the process told Reuters. Volkswagen, whose Audi division controls Ducati, has received several tentative bids with the Benetton family's investment vehicle Edizione Holding valuing the Monster motorbike maker at $1.2 billion, one of the sources said. As well as Edizione Holding, U.S. buyout fund Bain Capital, which owns a stake in Ski-Doo snowmobiles maker BRB, and two Indian motorbike firms, Eicher Motors and Bajaj Auto, have also bid for Ducati, the sources said. Indian carmaker Eicher controls Royal Enfield, a motorcycle brand established in 1893 which ranks as one of the oldest. Strategic bidders also include U.S. automotive firm Polaris Industries, which earlier this year said it would wind down its struggling Victory Motorcycle brand. A shortlist of bidders for a second stage of the auction could be selected as soon as Saturday, two of the sources said. Volkswagen adviser Evercore has a long list of bidders including private equity funds such as Ducati's previous owner Investindustrial, CVC Capital Partners, Advent and PAI, all hoping to outbid industry players, the sources said. If it gets to the second round, Edizione Holding could seek to form a consortium with a financial investor, two of the sources said, in a bid to secure control of Ducati, whose racers have won the Superbike world championship 14 times, with Carl Fogarty and Troy Bayliss its most successful riders. Audi, Edizione Holding, Investindustrial, Advent and PAI declined to comment, while the other interested groups were not immediately available for comment. PRICING CHALLENGES For some buyout funds, Ducati's valuation of up to $1.4 billion – which sources said is based on a multiple of more than 10 times its core earnings of roughly 100 million euros – is a tall order as they lack the synergies that some motorbike makers could achieve. But Investindustrial founder Andrea Bonomi, who sold Ducati to Audi for about 860 million euros in 2012, is serious about a comeback, one of the sources said. China's Loncin Motor was among a group of industry players that initially showed interest in Ducati, alongside Harley-Davidson. The latter has, however, decided against making a bid due to Ducati's price tag, while it could not be established if Loncin Motor had carried on bidding.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
