CAR HAS BEEN LOWERED VIA SELECT DROP 5", NARROWED BEAM & SWAY AWAY ADJUSTABLE SPRING PLATE, ROLLING ON 16" BUDNIK'S WITH BFG'S. THIS CAR WAS BUILT "NO EXPENSE SPARED" IN 1999, THEN SOLD AND DRIVEN UP AND DOWN AN EXTENDED DRIVEWAY FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THE ENGINE HAS VERY VERY LITTLE MILEAGE ON IT, IF ANY. AS REPORTED,THE ELDERLY OWNER WAS SIMPLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT . WHEN I GOT IT I HAD IT SORTED OUT BY A LOCAL PORSCHE EXPERT WHO ALSO MEASURED AND ADJUSTED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I RESTORED A 1963 MERCEDES SL TWO YEARS AGO, I KNOW WHAT AN ALL METAL PROJECT LIKE THIS WOULD COST TO BUILD TODAY. YOU WOULD HAVE TO SPENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $ 75 000 TO $ 100 000 DOLLARS TO REPLICATE THIS CAR , IF YOU WANTED THIS KIND OF QUALITY. I AM GIVING IT AWAY FOR LESS THEN A QUATER OF THAT AMOUNT ! SO, IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT , AND YOU ALWAYS WANTED ONE LIKE THIS, GRAB IT. SOME WARNING ; THE PAINT LOOKS WONDERFUL AND HAS SOME IMPERFECTIONS THAT ARE NOT VERY NOTICEABLE. ( VERY FEW NOSES, SMALL CHIPPING) . THERE IS ALMOST NO RUST, APART FROM MINOR SURFACE RUST IN THE FRONT UNDER THE CAR WHERE IT HAS HIT THE GROUND , BECAUSE IT RIDES SO LOW. ONLY 2 OR 3 PARAMETERS ARE WORKING ON THE DAKOTA DIGITAL DASH INSTRUMENTS. CAR COMES WITH THE FULL MAUAL OF THIS DASH AND THE GAUGES NEED TO BE TURNED OR PROGRAMMED IN . THIS CAR HAS A MODIFIED DASH AND FRONT WINDOW WITH NO WIPERS AND ALSO DOES NOT HAVE SIDE WINDOWS. I HAVE MOST OF THE WINDOWS PARTS BUT NOT ALL , AS SEEN IN ONE PHOTO. WHAT IS MISSING IS ONE MAIN SIDE WINDOW AND ONE BACK SIDE WINDOW. (THE FRAME IS THERE) WHAT WINDOW PARTS YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. IT CANNOT BE ROCKET SCIENCE TO GET THE MISSING WINDOW PARTS FROM WOLFSBURG WEST. I BELIEVE THERE ARE NO MODIFICATIONS ON THE DOORS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT REINSTALLATION OF THE WINDOWS , IF THAT IS WHAT YOU DESIRE. CAR COMES WITH A BIG FOLDER WITH LOTS OF BILLS FROM GENE BERG ETC. I AM SELLING THIS CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AT HAND. I AM NOT GIVING THIS CAR AWAY OTHER THEN TO MY GRANDCHILD. (SORRY) BUT I KNOW THIS IS A MORE THEN FAIR WINTER PRICE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. THERE ARE MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS ON OLD BUG COM. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND SEEING THIS CAR BEFORE YOU BUY, SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS , UNLESS YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE BUG NUT AND REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS. IT IS EXCEPTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK (AFTER CLEARANCE), NO PAY PAL . I NEED A NON REFUNDABLE $ 1000 WITHIN 72 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE ! THANK YOU FOR LOOKING |

VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
