AWSOME RUNNING AND DRIVING 68 VW CUSTOM

"NO RESERVE"

 I purchased this fun little VW a couple of weeks ago from a fella in North Carolina that I was delivering a 29 Model A frame to. He made me such a great deal that now fellow ebayers should be able to get a fun time for a good price. I have only driven the buggy about 20 fun filled miles but I got a good feel for the condition right away.


The little Roadster starts right up and idles just like it should with no funny noises, oil or exhaust leaks. The engine, which I do not know the size of pulls strong with no skips or flat spots in the power band. The transaxle and transmission work perfectly with gear selection and clutch sharp and crisp, no play in shifter. The vehicle ran down the road strait and true and stopped strait with no pull from the 4 wheel drum brakes.


The wheels are CABO's with 245/35ZR 20s all the way around with about 80% tread left. The body is a full fiberglass replacement finished in yellow Rhino lining for durability and ease of cleaning. It has a working speedometer, tach and oil pressure gauge (40 psi @ idle). The interior is carpeted thru out the cockpit in black with nice yellow piping against the firewall and the transaxle tunnel. Yellow shifter boot and e-brake cover along with the nicely covered (no tears or holes) front and back seats finish off the interior.


The VW is 100% street legal with working headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, horns and seat belts front and back. The outside tub of the vw is finished in cut to fit stainless steel sheeting and has linear 2' white lights located. The bikini top is practically new and shows no age. It has a working Kenwood stereo with removable color matching speaker box. The only non working items are the fuel gauge and volt gauge which I will try to sort out before the auction ends. The engine is dressed with headers, see thru dist cap, chrome air cleaner, chrome belt cover and chrome valve covers. Overall the VW roadster is in above average condition with below average normal wear and tear for the year and quality of the conversion.


The roadster is not perfect and is showing some age on the chrome front bumper, some chipping and surface cracking in the fiberglass and interior scuff marks from getting in and out of the vehicle but overall presents itself very well in pictures and in person.


I have done my best to describe this vw and it comes with no warranties written or implied however, If you the buyer upon delivery in person feel like I have lied or deceived you in any way in this description I will refund your deposit minus fuel cost (if I deliver) and we can go our separate ways still friends..


I can deliver the VW up to 750 miles from 36067 on an open trailer for $1.25 a loaded mile. If over 750 we can negotiate. 


Please feel free to ask questions or request additional pictures.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Suspended VW exec Hackenberg resigns in wake of scandal

Fri, Dec 4 2015

Ulrich Hackenberg, father of the innovative modular architecture that underpins many modern Volkswagen and Audi products and a 30 year veteran of the giant company, has resigned his position as the lead engineer for the entire Volkswagen Group as well as his seat on Audi's management board, reports Automotive News. The resignation closes out a two-month suspension while the investigation into VW's deceptive emissions practices continues.The resignation follows the admission by Audi that the 3.0-liter TDI V6 engine was also fitted with emissions-control defeating software, like some of its four-cylinder TDI counterparts. In turn, this lead to changes in Audi's management structure. AN reports that Matthias Muller, who has already taken over Martin Winterkorn's position as VW Group CEO, will also be named chairman of the Audi brand.Hackenberg's successor was named as part of this announcement. Stephan Knirsch, who has lead engine development at the Audi division, will assume Hackenberg's roles as both board member for Audi in charge of technical development, and as the head for technical development across the whole group.Related Video:

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.
