1968 Vw Transporter Truck!!! New Restoration!!! Nice!!! 2 on 2040-cars
Malden, Missouri, United States
|
This is a freshly built and very nice 1968 Volkswagen Transporter Single Cab Truck. This was a 2 owner vehicle before I bought it. The gentleman from Tennessee that I bought it from bought it from the original owner that bought it new. The original owner bought it to use on there bee hive farm to haul the bee hives because the sides of the bed fold down making it easy to unload. The second owner owned it for the last seven years. Once he bought it the professional restoration began. It is powered by a great running 1600CC Dual Port Engine detailed really nice. The 4 speed transmission shifts great. It has fresh 2 tone Blue and White paint. The interior has also been completely redone. There's not many of these around and this one is in excellent condition. It was entered in a VW show in Greenville, SC not long ago and out of 300 Volkswagens it got top 10 honors. Previous owner is a firm believer in keeping original as possible so it has not been lowered. It still has an A/M 8 track player in it from years ago. The bed and body are super straight as is the tailgate and sides. Good tires with blue painted wheels same color as truck. This was a 7 year build because the restorer took his time and did it the right way. Very rare and hard to find in this condition. This will make someone a great little truck and it's priced to sell!!!! |

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
