From the Desk of Mark “The Gearhead” Eubanks
For all who are entertaining a
purchase of a car or truck from Mr. Joseph Reffner.
This letter of my experience is for
each of you.
On
New Years Day 2014 my wife was scrolling through the vast number of street rods
listed on Ebay as we were looking for a new (to us) cool shop truck and she
came across Joe’s listing for a 1959 Studebaker Scotsman pickup street rod.
The
listing was absolutely complete for accurate information associated with
pictures of the build as the build occurred. The decision was made after a
short review to call and speak with Joe and in a very quickly I realized I was
speaking with an extremely knowledgeable builder of street rods who wasn’t a
person who leads people on. He was concise in his answers to my questions and
often volunteered associated information related to the questions as we built a
buyer – seller relationship, so much so that I choose to get right down to
negotiating the price and a number was reached and on Friday Jan/03/2014 I
boarded a Southwest flight to Vegas where Joe met me at the airport, picked me
up took me the our bank where the money was gathered and we drove and talked to
his families home in Boulder City NV where we completed our deal and Joe showed
me all of the work in detail that had been completed on my newest purchase. My
confidence level in Joe at this point was very strong and he showed me how to
get out of town via a fuel stop to top off the “stude” and then it was 1200
miles to Plano, Texas. Here’s the really cool part of my experience with Joe!
All
the way home, several times both days Joe would call and check in with me and
see how it was going, how the truck was doing and just being my friend. There
is no price that can be placed on that level of commitment and follow-thru of a
sale of a custom car or truck in my experience!!
So…
If
you’re entertaining a vehicle purchase from Mr. Joe Reffner, I STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE you to do your due diligence, ask him your questions and for further
pics of the vehicle as he will answer all of them and send all the pics you
want or need, and get ready for a buying experience that all others are
measured against and the wonderful life-long friendship you will be creating
with Joe and his amazing family!
Anyone
whom needs too is welcome to call me as Joe has my number and I will be happy
to answer any questions of his character you may need answered!
Joe,
We
love you and are already saving for the next one!!!
Warmest
Regards,
Your
friend’s,
Mark
& Kim Eubanks
Plano,
TX

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
