You are bidding on a "One of a Kind" 1966' Volkswagen, Volksrod / Volkstruck....


I wanted to create a vw pickup something that was kind of wild but could have been built back in the day.
It was built by me in my garage and
 is in no way perfect.


The motor is a low milage 1600 DP (less then 4500 mi.) the motor is leaking oil (vw's don't leak they sweet horse power) I think it's coming from the drivers side valve cover and maybe the oil cooler, these gaskets are new but I think they got pinched on install.
4 spd trans with new boots, new shift rod bushings and quick shift plate (shifter needs to be adjusted, grinds going into 2 nd gear, I will do it if I get time) 
The car has no problem reaching freeway speeds, however it cruises best at about 62/63 mph. (due to the size and weight it bounces around at higher speeds)
Rack-n-pinion front steering (it could use a proper alignment)
Dbug front beam extender 
Narrowed ball joint beam with adjusters  
Front disk brakes, new duel circuit master cylinder, new rear wheel cylinders and brake pads 
Tires: Front Coker Classics 5.60-15 Rear Denman Classic IV L78-15 wide white walls
New dvd / cd stereo (needs to be hooked up)
New upholstery (not perfect but new)
Seats sit on the floor (they have no sliders on them) there is storage under them and the backs are still adjustable
I am 6' 1" and 230 lbs. I fit in the truck
All glass no Lexan, rear slider window, drivers and passengers side windows are cracked (due to door panel install) I have new door glass being made and I will replace them if I have time, if not I will credit the buyer $100.00 back, wrap the new glass and send with the truck.
Doors lock but I do not have keys. (I planed to install new locks when changing out the glass) 
All lights are in working order (does not have hazard lights at this time)
30's Ford bed custom cut and fitted
4 1/2" Chop Top, heater channels removed, channeled about 6"




This truck is a blast to drive, it runs smooth (it is one of the smoothest running vw's I have owned) drives straight, stops good and is bumpy as all get out, there are no shocks on the back and it's sitting almost on bump stops that I installed, the front end has new lowerd shocks. I decided to build this truck with a small extended cab and Ford bed to give it a different look, then I panted it to look like a well worn paint job, custom door logos and hand painted striping, I have shown it in many shows (locally and out of town) and have many first place awards. It is not 100% finished but close.


The Volkstruck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this listing early.
There is no "Written or Implied Warranty"
All shipping cost is at the buyers expense. 
A $1000.00 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hrs after the listing is closed.
The Volkstruck must be paid for in full with cleared funds within 10 days after the listing has closed.
I have a clear title in my name but I will not release the title or car without it being paid for in full with cleared funds.
I can hold the Volkstruck for a reasonable amount of time to arrange for shipping. (I consider 20 days more then reasonable)

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.

Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
