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 Group plan puts Porsche in charge of a 'super-premium' division

Tue, Sep 11 2018

An Automobile report looks into what's happening on the organizational and technical sides of the Volkswagen Group, and what those changes could mean for the premium brands. The wide-angle view is that Porsche appears to have been anointed to "coordinate the future activities" at Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Audi would cede Lamborghini guardianship to Stuttgart, and Ducati — via a new concern called Ducati Enterprises — would become the shepherd for VW's other Italian investments. Executives target Jan. 1, 2019, to complete the reshuffle. VW wants to save a boodle by tying up four of its five top-tier brands, and putting the one with the highest ROI in charge. Porsche, within its own house, wants to reduce expenditures by $2.3 billion per year over for four years, the savings already earmarked for improving internal processes like R&D and production. Having Porsche share those gains as well as lead development of platforms, components and future-tech strategies for the sister sports car brands could benefit everyone. In the near-term, the brands have their own plans: Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann is said to want a Chiron Superleggera, a roofless and "completely reskinned" Chiron Aperta, and a track-only Chiron SS. The Superleggera could take the Chiron Sport's and Divo's Jenny Craig routines even further. The Aperta seems a natural successor to the Veyron Grand Sport, a natural evolution of the recently introduced Sky View roof, and a reskin might include numerous Divo cues. It's also said Bugatti's considering "an all-electric high-end model" in conjunction with Porsche, Rimac, and Dallara, but name one supercar or hypercar manufacturer that isn't considering a lightning-fast EV. Lamborghini, deep into work on follow-ups for the Huracan and Aventador, might get a bit of a bump with the new plan. The carbon "monofuselage" for the next V12 flagship is said to be too far developed and too complex to scrap. It puts two electric motors on the front axle, batteries in the middle, and a naturally aspirated V12 with around 770 horsepower plus another e-motor with 402 horsepower in back. The Huracan is said to get a version of the same carbon architecture at the moment, but the corporate reorganization might press pause on it. Automobile says options include continuing the Huracan/ Audi R8 twinning, but that depends on Audi saying "Ja" to a third-gen R8 with Lamborghini bones.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept still makes us swoon

Fri, Nov 21 2014

We know, we know – this hot little guy isn't really new or anything. Volkswagen first rolled out the Golf R 400 concept in Beijing earlier this year, and since its debut, we've heard rumors that the German automaker might-perhaps-maybe-hopefully build the thing. Its showing here in Los Angeles simply marks the first time it's debuting in America, and honestly, we can't get enough. So here it is, again. Hello, Golf R 400 – we love you. And what's not to love? What starts as a normal Golf R gets better with a more aggressive appearance, big wheels, some tasteful neon yellow accents, and a whole mess of power. The original concept packed 395 horsepower from an overblown 2.0-liter turbo-four, though the most recent reports suggest a production version could produce over 400 hp. To keep it all in line, the concept has all-wheel drive. And inside, it's the same functional, comfortable Golf we've always loved. There's nothing left to say, really. We love this car, and you should, too. Check it out in the gallery above.

VW Sport Coupe Concept GTE 'marks beginning of a new design era' [w/video]

Mon, Mar 2 2015

You didn't think that Volkswagen was going to come to Geneva armed only with a bunch of European-market minivans and wagons, did you? Of course not. Last week VW gave us our first glimpse at a new show car for the Swiss auto expo, and here it is in full: the Volkswagen Sport Coupe Concept GTE. Set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this week, the Sport Coupe is envisioned as a successor to the current CC, but beyond previewing a specific model, this concept showcases a new design language that's set to characterize all new VWs to come. And judging by how good it looks from the images in the slideshow above, that could prove to be a very good thing indeed. The concept strikes us as the sleekest iteration yet of the company's flexible MQB architecture that already underpins vehicles as small as the Golf and as large as the new Skoda Superb. It's larger than the current CC in every dimension but height, and pushes the wheels further out on a longer wheelbase. And with a liftgate at the back instead of a trunk, it strikes a form more similar to the Audi A7 than the Passat-based CC. As with recent past concepts, VW has taken the opportunity to showcase its hybrid powertrain technologies, fitting the Sport Coupe with a plug-in hybrid system that couples a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 to a pair of electric motors and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The internal combustion engine drives 295 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels, while an electric motor integrated into the gearbox contributes another 54 hp and a second one kicks in 114 hp at the rear. Juiced by a lithium-ion battery housed in the center tunnel and offering all-wheel traction, the combined output of 374 hp is said to be capable of propelling the concept to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat and on to a top speed of 155 mph. It can travel for 32 miles on electric power alone and on to an overall range of 745 miles, netting the equivalent of 118 miles per gallon on the European cycle. Inside, the four-seat cabin is laden with digital displays: there's a 12.3-inch unit – dominated by the speedo and power meter – in place of a conventional instrument cluster. The center stack incorporates a 10.1-inch infotainment display, and the rear-seat passengers have access to another 12.3-inch display at the back of the center console and another pair of 10.1-inch displays in the seatbacks.
