Offered is a 1958 Volkswagen single cab transporter. It's been in our family for more than 15 years. It was last driven in 2006 when my dad had knee replacement surgery. It ran and drove well at that time. Overall, it's in decent shape. It's complete and has some rust.

The truck currently doesn't run. We installed an ignition switch (lost ignition key), removed an aftermarket radio, and restored the original connectors. (This is why the parcel tray and steering column mounting bracket are not in place, but are in the vehicle.)

I believe it can be put back into driving condition relatively easily. The parts that aren't seen on the vehicle (rear apron, rear bumper) are in the storage compartment under the bed.

We purchased the truck more than 15 years ago from someone in Long Beach, CA. We recently registered it in South Dakota because we were relocating there. However, we decided not to take it with us. The VW includes vintage yellow and black California license plates.

Vehicle may be picked up in Downey, CA.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
