A nice Volkswagen, as you can see. New paint, new panels, for example, the bottom five inches is renewed (three panels, and various other panels, left rear corner, and rockers). As you can see, it's got a new paint job, done by a professional. The paint alone cost $500. Rear pickup bed is painted with bed liner, cost $150. This is not yet a show vehicle. There are quite a few little things to be done. Example, more painting to be done on the inside of the cab, and a good cleanup. I am 81 years old, and I don't feel like doing anymore to this because I put so much money in it. What with buying it, paying a body man, and an engine man (engine been overhauled, runs great). Tires are good, brakes are new, need to be run in. It has a bay window front end, but I still have the original, which the buyer can have for nothing. I also have a refurbished steering column that goes with it. There is a spare wheel, jack. No seatbelts. I think the pictures do it justice, but we should have washed it. I was in a hurry because a young man was putting it on eBay for me. This is a lovely vehicle to go to car shows with and have a great day out. I've had it finished about a year, but have never had the guts to sell it. I wanted to keep it, BUT I am 81 years old, and I don't want to die and leave this behind and have my wife sell it for $500 in a yard sale, so I've decided to list it. If I sell it, I shall miss all the people looking at it when I park it asking what it is, because most people have never seen a crew cab. I'm putting this up for auction. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (541) 563-5363 after 6:00 PM Pacific time. For details, give me a call. Please, no time wasters or wheel kickers. If you haven't got the money, please don't bid. I'll leave the rest up to the pictures.

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
