1970 Volkswagen Transporter on 2040-cars
Felton, California, United States
|
You are bidding on a used, standard 'walk-thru' 1970 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER. I'm listing for a friend, who has owned it for some time....all 'SERVICE RECORDS' available for the last 12 years. Overall condition is good, nothing fancy....the body has a few small dents, the largest is on the right rear corner. The front end (nose) is good with no major dents, drivers door & passenger door and the sliding door open and close with ease. All glass is in good condition. Drivers side window rolls up & down with no problems, however the passenger side window does not, the handle just spins...so I'm guessing the spline is stripped. All vent windows work. Rear hatch and engine deck lid open and close very well. Both are in good, dent free condition. Both hinges on deck lid are sound, and original spring holds the deck lid up. Rear hatch stays up when opened. All lights work, including turn signals and the back-up lights. The motor is a stock 1500 single port. I'm not sure how many miles are actually on this motor, for the sake of listing this ad, I just entered 75000.0 (you never know with a Volkswagen), however it runs very smooth, quiet and still has plenty of power. 12 volt system. Drum brakes all around, in good condition. The interior is fair, original headliner....front seats are comfortable and come with seat belts, both middle and rear seats are missing, although the seat belts are still present and attached to the floor. Front floor has rust on both sides...the drivers side will eventually need repair. Although this Volkswagen has spent most of it's 'life' in the Santa Cruz, California area, it's very solid, as with just about all vintage Volkswagen's, it has it's share of rust (please see pictures). The cargo floor, has minor rust, no rot out...the frame, jack ports, dog legs all very solid. The top is rust /dent free, drip rails good....Comes with original aluminum belt trim, however the piece above the gas door is missing. All doors, rear hatch and engine lid lock. Both front & rear bumpers firmly attached. Original 15" steel rims, with hub caps...tires are fair, but I would replace. Comes with spare tire and original cover... inside left rear corner This Volkswagen is currently registered and comes with a clear title.
As I stated, I'm listing it for a very nice lady, with a very 'reasonable reserve' as she no longer needs it. I've tried to describe it as best as I could, however I'm sure I missed something....All buyers welcome, overseas included... although I cannot ship this vehicle, I can meet with and assist your shipper. Successful bidder will need to move vehicle with-in one (1) week after purchase. If you need more time, we can talk about it. Storage costs may or may not apply. This vehicle is located in Felton, Santa Cruz county, California. If your local, and would like to see it, I will need to contact the owner for an appointment. Please remember this is a 44 year old Volkswagen..... it's been around the block a few times, so review all the pictures and if you have any questions or would like more pictures, please contact me at: 408 294 9789. Please don't wait until the last day to request additional pictures as I will need to travel. If I'm not home, please leave your name and phone number and I will get back to you. Sincerely, Bruce. |

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
