Loooong Volkswagen Doka - Uberunique! on 2040-cars
Evergreen, Colorado, United States
|
Front of a '62 Double Cab attached to the long bed of a '59 single cab. Double treasure chests, Safaris front and rear, grafted OG corner glass, walk-thru, new canvas on seat frames, new coconut pads & seat covers from Wolfsburg West, interior panels from Clara, Bakelite Suicide Knob on steering wheel, driver's side rocker needs paint but has been repaired nicely.
KCW adjustable front beam, chrome five star wheels, tires have <600 miles on them, professionally installed Wiring Works custom harness, professionally installed new fuel tank, new German master cylinder, new rear drums, brake pads & hoses all the way around. Shaved front turn signals (have billet signals/wiring for bumpers). Rear & front bumpers w/towel bars included. Brand new seals, WW rubber front mat, big OG stop light for rear. New shocks. Decklid included. Our summer plans are beginning to gel which do not include many shows or street cruises. We're in the final throws of restoring a pretty neat '71 tin-top bay camper for our daughter. Taking that and our '63 Caravelle camper out camping a lot this summer. This is the only reason we're posting this bus. Would be a perfect advertising bus, cruiser or special show ride. We're just not going to be doing much of either and I'd be remiss if this bus doesn't get the attention it clearly has earned. Being an OG geek, I simply do not get this one out much. For those purists out there who are more interested in passing judgement than being cool, please heckle someone else; I fully recognize and accept this bus isn't for everyone. If you don't like the faux-tina, paint it the way you'd prefer. Happy to drive, or trailer, it to you for a reasonable, and agreed upon, fee. Should have more images over the next couple of days. This bus does need some additional attention, as most busses do, although the vast majority of the work and expense has already been done. You are undoubtedly intelligent and know the market for busses too, consider what the expense might be to duplicate a unique ride like this one. The welding alone is worth quite a bit, even if you could source a clean double cab front end and clean single cab long end. And OG glass all the way around, with the exception of the front of and rear safaris. The video on youtube under - '62 VW Double Cab - showcases just a few of the steps taken to finish the Loooong Doka. The video was posted by GetWheelHappy. The motor in the video is not included as it has been installed in our daughter's tin-top bay camper. To say it another way, this bus DOES NOT include a motor. Please also factor this into consideration when you place your bid. Please know this is a pretty unique bus, one that doesn't hit the market very often. Might be your cup of tea, might not be. Interested in making some changes? That is entirely your decision when you own it. We're more motivated in this bus going to someone who who appreciates, and recognizes, how special it truly is than asking an astronomical figure for the bus. That being the case, starting the auction at $.99 with NO RESERVE. Thanks for taking the time to read this auction and good luck with your bidding! |

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8
Mon, Dec 22 2014If you want to be the first person on your block with Volkswagen's latest Golf R parked in your garage, you need to clear some time from your schedule on January 8. On that day, VW is opening the pre-order books for the first 500 Stateside examples of the new hot hatch, and they come with some neat accessories, too. Don't worry about specing just the right Golf R because all 500 early models are identical. In addition to the obvious 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 292 horsepower 280 pound-feet of torque and 4Motion all-wheel drive, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option here. Every one of these hot hatches comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with 19-inch wheels covered in summer performance tires. Based around the DCC and Nav trim, each of them also has VW's adaptive damper system, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, a Fender audio system, parking sensors and navigation. Beyond just being the first ones to own VW's latest hot hatch in the US, the deal for these 500 folks also includes a Volkswagen R watch, carbon fiber and stainless steel keychain and a certificate. All three items are serialized to match the VIN of the buyer's Golf R. The total price for each one of these 500 Golf R's is $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery. But potential buyers don't have to come up with all of that on January 8. They just need to visit VW's Golf R site and pay a $500 reservation fee to get in line, which goes toward the purchase of the car. The money is refundable for anyone who backs out, and any additional orders are put on a waiting list in case of any cancelations.
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
