Very clean and well cared for 1982 Caddy.  Engine is 1.9l conversion from Eurospec Sport with 5000 miles on it.  Intake and exhaust manifold are from Europe and made for the 1.9l NA engine.  Starts first crank every time and easily maintains 80mph even up moderate hills.  Diesel injectors and pump still 1.6 but work fine.  In addition, truck comes with very rare factory Power Steering and AC both working.  Transmission is 5-speed manual with no issues.  Clutch, brake calipers, shoes/pads, shocks, wheel bearings and rotors all replaced same time as engine.

Interior is all original with an added CD player under glovebox.  Rear window is hard to find 3 piece.  Sliding glass broke and currently replaced with plexiglass but original hardware still on hand.  Only defects in interior are two tears in driver seat.  Power locks installed in 2008.

Front end is off 1991 Cabriolet.  Truck was involved in minor accident in 2008, new paint and front body panels at that time.  Paint is not to my high standards but not the worst.  Originally came back to me with bumper from '91 Cabriolet as well but no paint behind bumper.  Hated the bumper and replaced but paint still not fixed.  Rear bumper was just removed as I was going to make custom bumpers and repair minor dent from when rear ended in 2002(so minor, damage not even noticed till 3yrs later).  Small spot of rust under rear window passenger side.

I am second owner of this truck and have had it since 2001.  It has been the most dependable vehicle I've ever had.  Paint in the bed is still original and has had a mat in it since the day it came off the lot as far as I can tell.  I put the first ever scratch in it around 2002.  In 2011 head gasket needed replaced and I elected to take the opportunity to install a new 1.9L to give it some extra power.  Due to military deployments and moves the install was not completed until late 2012.  I have since been fine tuning and working to get the full potential out of engine.  Recently I received larger intake and exhaust manifolds from Germany designed for this engine and installed a new MagnaFlo exhaust.  Truck easily reaches 80mph and I hold in the fast lane any time I need.  With the exception of when it was down for engine swap this has been my daily driver for 12yrs.  I really hate to sell her but I have found a new project and the wife says something has to go.  I have lots of extra parts and accessories that come with the truck.  Only thing that doesn't go, is the original window sticker(I'm framing that baby).

VW uses NorCal Forest to make e-Golf carbon neutral

Mon, Jun 15 2015

On the one hand, it's just a forest. There are beautiful redwood trees and clean air, cool, quiet creeks and hidden wildlife. You know, a forest. The kind that have existed for millions of years. On the other, it's a carefully managed collection of natural resources that lets companies pay money to make their products more beneficial to the environment. Welcome to the Garcia River Forest. For our purposes, the Garcia River Forest is interesting because of its connection to Volkswagen. Its young redwoods are helping Volkswagen create something almost unheard of in the automotive industry: a (mostly) carbon-neutral car. The 10,000-foot overview of how this works is as follows: when you buy the electric car, part of your money goes to support three carbon offset projects. These projects (the one in the Garcia River Forest, the Big River And Salmon Creek Forests in California, and the McKinney Landfill in Texas) have put a price on the value of not letting more carbon get into our atmosphere. The calculations come in the form of credits per metric ton of CO2 and VW has paid enough money to cover the emissions it generates during the production and distribution of the e-Golf as well as the charging for around 36,000 miles of driving. VW worked with 3Degrees, a provider of carbon offset services, to calculate the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that each e-Golf will be responsible for, from the factory to the driveway. The Garcia River Forest location is managed by The Conservation Fund (TCF). VW originally announced the carbon-neutral program back when it revealed US details for the e-Golf, in August 2013. Stuart Gardner, project manager at VW of America for the Golf family, told AutoblogGreen that the idea for the carbon offset came from the way VW understands plug-in vehicle buyers. "At Volkswagen, we strive to be leaders in e-mobility and developing alternative powertrains and we realize that, when someone buys an electric vehicle - the e-Golf, for example - they are doing more than just buying an electric vehicle," he said. "They are buying a lifestyle and they want to engage in this lifestyle." VW is not releasing the specific amount of the purchase price of each e-Golf that is directed to the Garcia River Forest (or any other carbon offset projects).
