1981 VW Rabbit pickup, absolutely immaculate. No rust, no accidents. It had a Rabbit 5 speed manual conversion, so you can fly down the highway at 70 or 80 mph without any problems. People are amazed to see how easily it overpasses other modern vehicles on the highway.

The motor was trasplanted from a 1991 VW Jetta that was completely overhauled in 2011. It runs on diesel or biodiesel, yes this puppy runs all day and night on biodiesel! A 10 gallon aluminum biodiesel tank installed in bed as seen on pictures. Clutch, transmission shaft seal, axle seals, and transmission oil were all replaced in April 2013. Transmission fluid was replaced with full synthetic. Front struts were replaced in May 2013. Front bumper has tow bar attachment and tow bar is included in this sell. It was just freshly painted and sprayed on bed liner was applied a week ago.

It is running strong and ready to go wherever you'd like. It's makes about 50mpg on either diesel or biodiesel.

the odometer does not work, so actual miles on odometer are not accurate, but speedometer works flawlessly.

I'm listing this vehicle for my dad, since he's getting ready for retirement. My dad manufactures his own biodiesel from used cooking oil and the cost to produce per gallon is around 54cents a gallon.

My dad is also available to install a biodiesel production system for you if you are so inclined. You can message me for pricing.

Vehicle is also for sale locally thus we reserve the right to end auction early.

If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message thru E-bay.

thank you

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
