1968 Convertible *** No Reserve *** No Reserve * Runs Great on 2040-cars
Madera, California, United States
|
1968 Volkswagen Convertible w/ dual port single carb 1600. Runs really good. It will do about 70 mph in 3rd gear. New clutch shifts very smooth through all gears w/ no pop outs. The paint in brand new but was not a very good job. Looks really good at a distance and in the pictures then it does up close and personal. The front windshield, hood, Empi rims, front and rear bumper all 4 tires and rear shocks are all brand new. Newer carpet with interior rustproofing/soundproofing was applied when the seats and carpet was professionally redone. Has low backs in it. It also has a brand new am/fm cd player that's in the glovebox. The engine runs good. The transmission shifts good. The car drives okay but will need some attention to the front end. Maybe just shocks or tie rod ends would be my guess. It's a California car with a clean title and current registration. All the lights and blinkers work. The speedo and odometer work. But I am certain the mileage has turned over. The horn was rewired and was working until it didn't want to shut off one day so it's disconnected. Now for the really bad part. The convertible top works opens and shuts but will eventually need to be replace. Its starting to show some wear. The heater/frame rails and battery tray are in really bad condition as you can see in the pictures everything else underneath seems to be pretty solid. ( please see pics ). I will be happy to answer any questions. This vehicle is not sold with any kind of warranty and it is being sold as is. So please ask any questions you may have. I have tried to explain everything to the best of my knowledge. Once the auction has ended a $500 deposit must be made within 48 hours. The remainder of the balance to be paid in full with in 3 days or if we make other arrangements. Any bidders with a feedback score of 10 or less must contact before placing a bid or your bid will be canceled. That doesn't mean you cant bid. It just means that I would like to speak with you before placing a bid. Thanks 4 looking and good luck if your bidding. Shipping and all costs related to shipping will be the winning bidders responsibility. I will assist if needed. Thank again |

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
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.
