1971 Volkswagen Type Iii Squareback Barn Find Condition on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:92805
Location:

This 1971 Volkswagen Type III squareback has been sitting outside for about 20 years.  We cannot find the key right now.  We don't know much about the condition of the vehicle, please study the photos carefully.  We couldn't get the trunk open to photograph the engine compartment.  The title was signed by the last owner and then my dad back filled out the back in 1993.  He never finished registering it because, back then, the DMV wanted him to smog it. My dad completed a DMV "Vehicle Transfer and Reassignment Form", which the DMV says is the right documentation to sell the vehicle to a new owner.  This also should allow the new owner to keep the older blue and yellow plates.  There are 4 flat tires, so you will need a flat bed to tow the car, or install new tires!  I will happily answer any questions that I can, please ask them before bidding.     

Also, in the coming weeks and months I will be selling quite a few old vehicles and loads of vehicle parts on ebay motors. 

I will happily assist the highest bidder with picking up the vehicle, but will not pay for any shipping myself or be responsible for anything that happens to the car once it leaves my property.  The vehicle is located in Campbell, California

Thanks for looking!

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
