1966 Vw Notchback on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
1966 VW Notchback. Running, driving, registered daily driver. Rebuilt top end 1641cc with new p's and c's, heads, and 34 carbs as well as tri-mil Ceramic Tuck exhaust. Currently fueled by an electric fuel pump and sparked by Pertronix pointless ignition. The transmission was also recently rebuilt to stock specification and the set up easily cruises 70 on the highway. It is set up with full air ride suspension with onboard air tank, compressor and controller. It can do front, back, and side to side. It will not hop, and is set up to ride nice, from stock to fairly low, and will sit on the bump stops as a failsafe. It has the stock type 3 beam, and with new torsion bars, could go back to torsion suspension in an afternoon. The pan and drivetrain are sorted and rust free, with new tie rod ends and good ball joints. Stock disc up front and drum in the rear. I have 2 sets of front tires one for the low low, and the other for the more "respectable" height and look. All six tires are in good shape 4 wheels only. The body is good all in all. Some rust repair has been done, and a little could still be done, see pics. Otherwise it is solid, and with the patina and "rally" inspired look, you can drive it every day, and park it anywhere. Interior is practical and usable with some wear. Lights, signals, and flashers work. Brake lights, Aoooga horn, and a stereo with hidden 12". 3 point seatbelts front and rear. It has new window seals but the door windows could use new window seals and scrapers. LED headlights, Hella fog lights, STOP 3rd brake light with new amber topped flat tail lenses. #66 gumball decals are remove-able. Currently installed in the spare area is a diesel heater, ducted to the cabin and defrost for quick warming in the cold cold or extra heating over the heater boxes. It is standalone and easily removed. The stock heater boxes are in place and functional.
All in all, it is a great car, just ready for a new project. Roof rack is included, any accessories can be discussed.
Updated... just paid for another year of CA registration.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively.
