1970 Volkswagen Transporter on 2040-cars
Felton, California, United States
This sale is for 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 75.000.0 (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 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. |

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
