Meyers Manx Style Dune Buggy No Reserve!! on 2040-cars
Merced, California, United States
|
Up For NO RESERVE AUCTION is this beautiful Volkswagen-powered Dune Buggy. If you have ever owned or driven one of these neat little cars you know what fun they are to drive! Just running errands is a blast! And a ride on a warm summer evening is pure pleasure! These little Buggies have been in demand ever since Bruce Meyers built the first one in his garage, beginning the most popular "Kit Car" that there has ever been. Many people including myself would buy an old Bug and make a Dune Buggy out of it. And if you have ever built one you also know that it's a lot of work. Here is a turn-key Buggy that you can enjoy from day one. This little jewel is a true survivor. It is built on an old style, five lug, swing axle frame. The paint is beautiful, just a couple of small chips. The seats have very beautiful "Sew Fine" upholstery on factory VW Beetle low back front seats and custom-fit back seat; front seats have seat belts. All lights and gauges, including the tachometer and horn, are in working order. Completely street legal in California. The 1600cc dual port motor was rebuilt two years ago but has only been driven about 1000 miles since then. It is very powerful! New K&N air filter, new fuse box, new battery. Always been taken very good care of, older adult owned for many years. As you can see by the pictures this is a car that you will be very proud to own. Take it to your local "Bug In" and watch people admire it. Perfect for Pismo Beach, or the desert. It is getting harder and harder to find nice "original" Dune Buggies. NO RESERVE AUCTION!!!! This means that someone will get this great little car. Clear California title, California tags good until NEXT July. No smog required in California. I feel this car is a very safe (and fun!) investment. The only problem you'll have with this buggy is that your face will hurt from smiling all the time when you're driving it! Will ship anywhere in the world at buyer's expense. I can help with shipping, I work with a very good auto transport company that will deliver it to your door. Available for inspection anytime during the auction by appointment. Please remember you are bidding to buy, not just to come take a look at it. Full payment must be made within three days after the end of auction, and I don't take PayPal for payment on cars. E-Mail, or call or text me at 831-383-2499 with questions. If you have ever wanted a Dune Buggy, but don't want to build one then "This Buggy's For You!" Good Luck and HAPPY BIDDING!!!

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI vs. sport compact sedans: How they compare on paper
Thu, Feb 28 2019Hot hatchbacks may be stealing the headlines, but they're not the only way to get cheap speed. There are actually a number of small sporty sedans on the market, too, in case you want that more formal roofline. The recently revealed 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI highlighted these vehicles, so we figured we'd take a look at the specifications and see how they compare to each other. Our contenders are the aforementioned VW, along with the 2019 Honda Civic Si, 2019 Subaru WRX and 2019 Hyundai Elantra Sport. All four start under $30,000 and offer more than 200 horsepower. And of course, they all have trunks. In our comparison, we'll look at each car's powertrain comparing horsepower and torque. We'll also look at practicalities such as interior space, fuel economy and pricing. You can see the raw numbers in the chart below, followed by additional analysis and links to reviews. If you'd like to compare any of these cars with a different group, be sure to check out our car comparison tool. Engines and drivetrains Performance, and particularly power, is likely a priority for a sporty sedan buyer, and there's a clear leader: the Subaru WRX. At 268 horsepower, it's 40 ponies ahead of the next most potent car, the 228-horsepower Jetta GLI. It also ties the GLI for torque at 258 pound-feet. Both cars also support the old adage that "there's no replacement for displacement," since each have 2.0-liter engines while the Hyundai has a 1.6-liter unit and the Honda engine only displaces 1.5 liters. The Hyundai and Honda are nearly tied for power and torque, too, at roughly 200 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. Another bonus for the Subaru is its standard all-wheel-drive system, which is handy for power delivery, lateral grip and for inclement weather. While the Jetta GLI and Civic Si are front-drive only, they do feature mechanical limited-slip differentials to enhance traction under power. The Elantra Sport makes do with electronic aids and an open differential. We're pleased that all four of these cars offer manual transmissions, too. But if you do want or need an automatic transmission, the VW, Subaru and Hyundai have you covered. The VW and Hyundai rely on seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and the Subaru uses a CVT with eight preset ratios for manual mode shifting. The Civic Si, though, is manual only (and it's an excellent manual at that).
Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test
Wed, Sep 29 2021The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.
