What we have here is perhaps one of the rarest found VW's of all time. This is a must have for VW & especially Type iii enthusiasts. These hardly ever pop up on the market in complete running and driving condition with a clear title, so now is your chance to snatch one up! I'm personally a huge fan of the car and thoroughly enjoy driving it. Every time I take it out someone gives thumbs up or asks about it. If I could keep it longer I would, but space is an issue where I'm located and I don't want to put it in storage. This car deserves to be driven and loved by someone who knows what it is and how special of a car it is. I always try to be as brutally honest as possible in all my business on eBay. I'm providing the most accurate information to the best of my knowledge. 3rd party inspections are welcomed as long as the company you hire comes to me. Please note that we are taking about a 51 year old car and not a 2014. Yes it runs and drives good and yes you can enjoy it right away without any work to it. But its not a new car so please don't expect it to be one.

Conditions Report:

Powertrain: Solid 1600 runs strong and 4 speed stick shifts smooth. I was told when I purchased it that the motor had been recently rebuilt. The only evidence that I have is the way it runs. Good power, No smoke, no smell & only leaks a little drop of oil. If you know VW's, you know they all leak.

Suspension: Car will pull to the left if you release your hand from the wheel. Brakes work but are soft, It may just need some adjusting. Otherwise feels very smooth going down the road. Tires have plenty of tread but are older.

Electrical: The push button headlights, tail & stop lights, wipers all work but the flashers and signals do not. The speedo doesn't operate either. There is a radio in the car but its not working either.

Interior: Complete and in really good shape for its age. The only noticeable wear is to the door cards as they have become weathered and worn. Otherwise pretty sharp looking.

Paint and Body: Paint looks great from about 10 feet away. Up close you will notice bubbles and some runs. Body is very straight for the most part but has one noticeable dent above the drivers side rear panel. The car also has a bit of rust on and around the doors and a little above the rear trunk lid. I did not notice any major rust to the pans or other places than mentioned above. Most of it is surface and I'm confidant that a qualified body man would be able to repair and remove most all of it. The car also has an aftermarket sunroof which is a little bit of a turn off to the purest collectors.

Overall: This is one cool very rare old car! You never see these around and it catches a ton of attention if that's what your after. The only thing that I would personally do to it if I was to keep it would be to work on the signals and brakes. Otherwise, its a really clean weekend cruiser just as it sits.

Please take the time to watch the videos posted as they give a real good scope of car. You will need to copy and paste link in the web address bar on a new page.

Volkswagen loses thousands of vehicles in Chinese explosion

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Yesterday, a blazing, explosive fireball erupted from a port in the city of Tianjin, in China, lighting up the night sky and shattering windows with the force of 21 tons of TNT. Hundreds were injured and the death toll continues to rise, with the most recent reports claiming 50 were killed. While the human cost of this tragedy simply can't be overstated, it hasn't taken long for corporations to look into what the enormous explosion cost them. And for Volkswagen, the answer is quite a lot. According to our friends at Jalopnik, a Chinese source claims the German giant, which remains one of the PRC's most popular brands, lost thousands of vehicles. The automotive casualty sheet lists 1,065 Touaregs, 391 Beetles, 257 Tiguans, 114 Golfs, 84 Up! minicars, 39 SportVans, and 28 Magotans (a locally built version of the Passat). While those are the only vehicles listed, the Chinese source said over 2,700 vehicles were destroyed. For example, both Land Rover and Renault lost an unspecified number of Discovery SUVs and Koleos CUVs, respectively. The explosion also affected Toyota. Its research and design facility with joint-venture partner Sichuan FAW also suffered an unspecified amount of damage. You can check out the translated source article here. As Google Translate jobs go, though, this one is particularly bad, but it still offers some details of the automotive cost of this disaster.

Rivian R1T, Mini Cooper Electric owners happiest with their EVs

Tue, Feb 28 2023

The J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study is out, and there's change at the top. With the swelling adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. over in the past two years especially, the third year of the EVX study changes focus to first-time EV buyers. Those two factors encouraged change at the top of both premium and mass-market segments. Among premium EVs, the Rivian R1T pickup scored overall victory in its first year of eligibility with a satisfaction score of 794 out of 1,000. The Tesla Model 3 takes second place with 759 points. Tesla had won the top two premium spots in the study in 2021 and in 2022. The average score in the premium segment was 756. The Tesla Model Y (754), Audi E-Tron (735), and Polestar 2 (724) filled out the list of the five eligible models this year. Among the ten eligible mass-market vehicles, the Mini Cooper Electric nabbed the overall win by scoring 782. The Kia EV6 came second with 762 points, keeping Kia in the top two; the Kia Niro EV won the mass-market segment the previous two years. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (742), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (738), and Volkswagen ID.4 (735) completed the top five, the Niro EV (733) in sixth. All were above the segment average of 730. The four models fell below the segment average were the Ford F-150 Lightning (723), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (716), Chevrolet Bolt (711), and Nissan Leaf (698). How are the scores derived? J.D. Power worked with EV app maker and research firm PlugShare to get owner responses in ten areas: accuracy of stated battery range; availability of public charging stations; battery range; cost of ownership; driving enjoyment; ease of charging at home; interior and exterior styling; safety and technology features; service experience; and vehicle quality and reliability. Brent Gruber, executive director of the EV practice at J.D. Power, said, "Recent vehicle launches from both new brands and traditional automakers have had a profound effect on what factors are most important in the ownership experience. Today’s EV owners are looking for quality, reliability, driving enjoyment, safety and technology features." The Mini, in fact, scored highest of any premium and mass-market EV in the studyÂ’s highest-weighted index factor, quality and reliability.
