1980 VW Rabbit p/u truck.  No reserve!

Clear title in my name.

It has some rust like all trucks do.  Someone started to fix the strut towers (see pics).  You could complete this or, as shown in the pictures, I have another front clip from a solid car.  The driver floor is the worst (see circled spots in pic).  The bed floor has two visible rust spots and one that looks to be patched with fiberglass (see circled spots in pic).  The fenders are just hanging on for the pictures.  The rear bumper I made for my first Rabbit truck and put it on here.  I do have the factory rear bumper mounts to go with it but the rear bumper was all bent up.

The red interior came out of a parts truck I had.  Includes what you see in the pics.  I do not have red door panels or dash though, they are tan.  The heater fan is missing.  Still has a factory radio.

The extra clip has no rust in the strut towers, but does have some on the right side by the door pillar that would be easy to fix if you use that much when you clip it.  I was going to use all of it because it has good floors that would fix the truck's floor.  The clip is cut behind the middle floor brace.

There is no engine or trans in it now.  It was a diesel.  If you buy it and are interested, I do have a few diesel engines that need rebuilt and also some 5 and 4 speed transmissions that you could buy separately from the truck, but again... NO engine or trans is included in this auction!

I have a loader tractor here to help load everything onto your trailer or truck.  I will also consider delivering this in a somewhat local radius from here, but you MUST message me first to see if I will do it and we will need to agree on a price for delivery as well.  Otherwise pick up is your responsibility.

I have tried to describe this to the best of my ability. Look closely at the pictures.  Ask questions!  We can also arrange for a time to check it out.  I can get more pictures by request too.

VW quite interested in solid-state batteries for EVs

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Volkswagen is about to make a decision about which advanced battery technology the automaker will seriously investigate to give its electric vehicles more range. VW will decide by July if it will use solid-state batteries made by US-based QuantumScape Corp. in future EVs, according to Bloomberg News. Last year, VW bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape, which was founded by ex-Stanford University researchers. The lure is that QuantumScape's solid-state batteries may provide a single-charge range of as long as 430 miles. That's more than three times the current range of the VW e-Golf electric vehicle the company recently started selling to the public and is substantially longer than the single-charge range of the Tesla Model S electric sedan. The batteries are also fireproof, making VW's potential decision one with an eye towards more vehicle safety. Solid-state battery technology, in which solid lithium electrodes are used instead of liquid electrodes such as those in lithium-ion batteries, are the subject of research at other automakers and suppliers as well. Toyota says they could be here by 2020. Recently, the cordless vacuum cleaner maker Dyson acquired a $15-million equity stake in Michigan-based battery maker Sakti3 with the idea of using the startup's solid-state batteries in its products. General Motors also has a minority stake in Sakti3, which was spun off from the University of Michigan.

VW consumer site finally gets configurator tool back

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The traditional vehicle configurator is back on the Volkswagen US consumer website, and it works very well. The company now lets visitors create a virtual model to their own specs and then search for a match among dealer inventories, as is the norm from most automakers. Last summer, Volkswagen tried to break the mold with its thoroughly redesigned consumer website in the US. It sported a slick design but made the highly controversial change of removing the configurator. Instead, visitors were narrowing their selection from a searchable database of models already at dealers. While the streamlined approach immediately told users if their desired car was available, the system also largely hid the prices for options and packages. The newly tweaked design retains the previous tablet-oriented layout, but after clicking a model, the site immediately offers "Build Yours." From there, visitors select a trim, and then the vehicle pops up with options to choose things like colors and packages. The whole layout is clean, features large buttons and works quickly. At the summary page, there's still the opportunity to search for the user's choice in dealer inventories. This is definitely a major improvement.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019

Thu, Jul 18 2019

PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
