Drives 600 miles on a tank. Truck is located in Burley Idaho where I now live. NO RESERVE. SOMEONE'S GOING TO WIN.
Just place a bid right now to test the waters. Nothing big, just the next bid increment. Prices sky rocket the last minute anyway. 

This is a well taken care of 1980 Diesel Rabbit truck that gets 45 MPG! I bought it from an old man in Las Vegas about 3 years ago. Comes with a hard to find camper shell, and a in bed tool box that can bolt in just behind the back glass. I drove it daily for about 10,000 miles. 
THE BAD
If your taller than 5'10" you will not be comfortable in the truck. Don't even bid.
There is some rust on the rain gutters, (pictured)
Little surface rust on the B pillar where the two metal seams come together. (pictured) 
The heater fan switch just broke this week. 
Original dashboard, (30 years old) its cracked.
THE GOOD
This truck gets a 7 out of 10 as far as paint and body. No big dents, but paint is tired, rock chips in the hood. Interior is also a 8 out of 10. Seats have been re-done, no holes stains or cracks on seats.
Got NEW front shocks/struts on 4/19.
New wheel bearings,
New Starter,
New battery, 
New glow plugs, 
New fuel tank,
New injectors (4). 
New Oil, Air, and Fuel Filters
Rust free strut towers.
New upholstery on the seats. 
Comes with some tools, repair manual, compression tester, and a hug.
I added an engine block heater, and on cold Idaho nights I plug her in and she starts right up in the morning.
Good compression on all 4 cylinders. NOT ORIGINAL MOTOR. This motor has about 40,000 miles on it.
Runs like a sewing machine. She came from the factory with a 4 speed trany but the previous owner swapped in the better 5 speed for higher fuel economy and better HWY driving. 
The pictures you see were taken while I was on the Road trip to Bozeman MT last month.

She would be perfect to convert over to a Grease Car to burn Vegi-oil, Biodiesel, or even ATF. Greasecar has many conversion kits available. When fuel prices sky rocket this truck will be nice to have. Buy it now before fuel prices go up. This rig is also the perfect car to have in case of an EMP or if North Korea starts a Nuke attack. At least you'll still be able to drive to work. LOL
Call or text me and leave a message for Kevin 
(to oh ate) three won too - 8062
For $3,800 I will bring you the truck. Montana, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada,  Northern Cali, Southern Washington, and Western Wyoming and Western Colorado. I will buy another busted Geo Metro near you to drive home. LOL
I reserve the right to end the listing early. I've got it listed locally and if someone puts enough cash in my hand, I will cut the auction.
This auction will end on Sunday May 19th official ebay time of 21:00 PDT. Mark Your Calender. In the upper right hand corner click on "Add to watch list" so you can find it in "My ebay"

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network

Tue, Jul 6 2021

Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. “It is the joint aim of EuropeÂ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement.  "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.

VW Golf R pre-order sells out in less than 11 hours

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Volkswagen fans had to be pretty quick if they wanted to ensure their pre-order for one of the first 500 units of the 2015 Golf R to enter the US. The German brand opened the books online at at 12:01 AM EST, and according to company spokesperson Leigh Anne Sessions speaking to Autoblog, by around 10:30 AM EST all of them were snapped up. VW's pre-order page currently shows these vehicles as no longer available, and the company confirms the news on Twitter, as well. There's still a chance to get an early Golf R by signing up for the waiting list and hoping one of the 500 orders falls through. VW Customer Care will contact people if there's an opening. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This entire allotment of the Golf R comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with VW's adaptive damper system, navigation, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and more. To further sweeten the pot, the company is also giving these folks a watch, key chain and certificate with their vehicle's VIN. The 500 models were priced at $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery, but only $500 was required to reserve one online. The amount was refundable if a person backed out.

Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE concept previews new midsize CUV... again

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Volkswagen has taken a big step towards the long-awaited second model to be built at its Chattanooga, TN factory, introducing the two-row Cross Coupe GTE Concept at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The relatively handsome two-row crossover borrows its basic styling language from the CrossBlue Concept that launched at the 2013 Detroit show (that we later had a brief chance to drive), and the CrossBlue Coupe from that year's Shanghai Motor Show. To be entirely frank, it just looks like a much more production-ready version of the Shanghai concept. The more aggressive elements of that model, like its rear taillights, rounded wheel arches, and aggressive front and rear fascias, have been toned down considerably. In other words, this concept almost wouldn't look out of place on the average road. Changes in the cabin are similarly minor, with the same basic design as the CrossBlue, complemented by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch touchscreen display. While it's still quite clearly a concept car interior, it's not hard to imagine VW transitioning this cockpit into a production model. Riding atop the Volkswagen Group's MQB architecture – making it a relative, albeit distant, of cars like the VW Golf, Audi TT and the Euro-market Passat – the Cross Coupe GTE is motivated by a 3.6-liter VR6 that's been mated to not one, but two electric motors (one on each axle). The gas engine offers up 276 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the front axle's electric motor generates 54 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, and the rear can deliver a more robust 114 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque. That cacophony can be easily boiled down to this: the Cross Coupe GTE has a total system output of 355 hp and 280 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to get the five-seater to 60 miles per hour in six seconds, on to a top speed of 130 miles per hour. As a plug-in hybrid, though, there's more to the Cross Coupe GTE then just its power output. Range plays a big role, and in that regard, this concept is fairly average. It can cover 20 miles when its 14.1-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery is charged up. Beyond that, the drivetrain can be set to a number of modes to optimize the behavior of plug-in-hybrid powertrain. In E-Mode, which can be locked in via a battery hold/battery charge mode, all 20 miles of range are available, although the Cross Coupe's driver will only have the 114-hp rear axle electric motor to work with.
