1965 Volkswagen Single Cab - Custom Shorty

This is absolutely the finest VW Single Cab custom shorty in existence!!!

It was built by a VW-only restoration shop in Southern California. No expense was spared during its 8-month rotisserie restoration. Every single nut, bolt, and part is new...I mean absolutely everything. And, the parts are not swap meet Chinese junk. Only the highest quality parts that money could buy were used to build this shorty.

This shorty is 100% rust-free, and the paint and body are incredible. I will let the pictures prove it. The PPG paint was sprayed in original colors from a 1957 Chevy...tropical turquoise and India ivory. It has less than 800 miles on the odometer. I had this shorty built for my wife (my other shorty) to drive while we are visiting our second home on Maui. She just doesn't enjoy driving old vehicles as much as I do. I already have a 23-window Samba, so this single cab shorty is getting sold to a lucky new owner.

Besides owning it as your personal ride, this shorty would make an incredible investment as an advertising vehicle for any company. We cannot drive this thing anywhere on the island without getting more attention than we sometimes even like. Make sure to add an extra 20 minutes to every trip to the beach (or supermarket) to allow time for random picture takers and VW conversations!

Here is a non-inclusive list of high-end parts:

Front Safari windows - stainless steel (from Wolfgang International)

Rear Safari window - stainless steel (from Wolfgang International)

Complete chrome door window frames (chrome-plated at California Plating in San Diego, CA)

Polished deluxe trim on beltline, drop gates, and bumpers with black rubber inserts (from Aircooled Accessories in UK)

Front disc brakes (conversion from VW bay window bus so parts are readily available)

Gene Berg performance shifter with reverse lock-out (added feature as a theft-deterrent)

LED headlights (from Truck-Lite)

LED custom tail lights (fabricated to fit inside OEM housings)

Vintage Speed exhaust

Blaze-Cut fire suppression system

Viper alarm with custom sensors and remote notification

Ultima Red Top battery

European bumpers (powdercoated RAL9016 traffic white)

15" VW original crowsfeet rims with all hubcap clips (powdercoated RAL9016 traffic white)

Good-Year Custom Super Cushion 2-3/4" whitewalls (205/75R15)

German-quality VW stainless steel hubcaps

Custom 17" wood steering wheel

Custom 2-tone brown interior with white piping and hidden pleats

Chrome door pull handles

Chrome interior grab handle

Chrome radio block off plate (not shown in pictures)

Chrome drink holder (not shown in pictures)

All new rubber and glass throughout entire vehicle

Gerson metal (green metal) used for all rust repairs, including doglegs, pickup bed and custom drop gates

The list literally goes on and on and on....

Every single part on this vehicle is brand new, from engine lid hinges to wiring harness to complete brake system to mirrors and everything in between. Also, the entire frame, undercarriage, wheel wells, inside and bottom of doors, etc. was coated with POR15. I had anticipated it would spend its life on Maui, so every precaution was taken to prevent rust from ever forming on this beauty. Wherever you live, rest assured this shorty will remain in pristine condition despite the weather (or salt on the roads).

Please feel free to email me or call me with any questions. (808)856-1468. The vehicle is located on Maui, but it has a clear CA title and it is registered in CA until August 2014. No warranties of any kind. Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges and liabilities, but I will gladly assist in helping with the shipping process. For example, I will deliver it to the port of Kahului in Maui free of charge. To help gauge your expenses, I know that shipping charges from Kahului, HI to Long Beach, CA via Matson Ocean Services is approximately $1,100.

This vehicle is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. If my reserve price is met during the auction, however, I will agree to let the auction run its course with this shorty going to the winning bidder.

Please ask any questions and have your funds secured before placing a bid. I am an honest seller, and simply want a smooth transaction. As a California attorney, I have ways to complicate your life, so please do not complicate mine. Also, if you have a feedback score of less than 10, you must contact me before placing your bid. Otherwise, I reserve the right to cancel your bid.

Lastly, if you have serious interest in this vehicle, feel free to call me to end the auction. (808)856-1468.

Good Luck and God Bless!!!

On Mar-04-14 at 17:30:20 PST, seller added the following information:

I forgot to mention that the engine (1600cc single port), transmission, and gear reduction boxes were all completely disassembled and rebuilt using only new parts. The entire vehicle is brand new, and can be driven anywhere...and you can only imagine the U-turn capabilities of this thing! Also, when you consider the incredibly bright LED headlights and LED tail lights, and the front disc brakes, this shorty was made to drive anywhere at anytime, and as safely as possible.

Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
