Parting Out: 1975 Vw Rabbit Golf I Swallowtail Volkswagen Mk1 A1 on 2040-parts.com
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, US
This listing features a 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit (4/75 build date - Anacona? Blue paint). I will sell it complete (as shown in pics in conjunction with description below), or I will sell parts off of it. If you are interested in purchasing vehicle whole, PLEASE message me to determine what has been sold off vehicle since pics were last taken! It has many good salvageable parts & I would prefer to part it out as I believe it is beyond saving (for most folks), and of course, its probably worth more in parts as well. However, if you have (or can get) a clean(er) swallowtail shell, an early car this complete would GREATLY aid you in your restoration efforts! I'm not sure, but I think this may be a European model based on what I've read is a non-U.S. color and the "plain jane" door panels.
Please message me with any parts requests & we can set up a Buy-It-Now listing on here for you!
CONDITION: The rockers are COMPLETELY gone on this thing - see pics below. there is significant floor rot as well, and there will be multiple frozen drums as well.
The following hard to find parts are present though:
- Early "smooth" hood
- Early grille
- Early washer nozzle
- Early hood release
- Early outside handles
- Early door pulls
- Early ash tray with shift drawing
- (Presumably) early oil pan
- Carb. setup
- Early strut towers (some rust, unsure if worth saving)
- Swallowtail rear bonnet
- Early seats
- Early seat belts (pass. side receiver is missing)
- Early rear glass with no defrost lines
- Early logo'd glass - clear
- Early rear metal emblems (included but not shown)
- (Presumably) early 4 speed
- Early HVAC controls
- Early stalks
- Early speedo cluster lights
- Early hatchback (frozen, so unsure about prop rod)
- etc...
Early parts I know its missing include: rain tray cover and rear parcel cover. Antenna is fender mounted. There may be others. Parts that are no longer included are fuel cap, beltline trim & rocker trim. However, most of the other good stuff is still present. Windshield is even intact.
There is (currently) no title with this car, but the P.O. is attempting to locate it. There is a very good chance he will find it, but it will take time. The car can currently be purchased WHOLE with a bill of sale. It CANNOT be exported without a title however. Please message for details.
TRANSPORT: I will work with you or the shipper of your choice to transport this vehicle. In all likelihood, you will need a trailer with a winch to get it off the ground. Or you will need a come-along and an hour or two! In other words, your typical car shipper won't touch this thing with a ten foot pole. I can also offer transport, but it will cost you $1/mile both ways for the 1st 750 miles, and .50/mile after that.
PAYMENT: If buying parts, payment must be received within 4 days, Paypal preferred. If buying whole, $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal within 48 hours, balance in cash / bank transfer prior to or upon pickup. Balance needs to be paid within 2 weeks of purchase. Vehicle pickup needs to happen within 2 weeks of purchase (very negotiable if paid in full).
We are currently parting out numerous older Volkswagens (and the occasional non-VW), please write with your parts requests, thanks.
This is a salvage vehicle and is being sold for parts only. It is not operational or street legal. Therefore, upon purchase, it will need to be either towed or put on a trailer. This item is NOT eligible for the eBay Motors Vehicle Purchase Protection Program.

Ford engine plant builds number 10 million
Wed, 18 Feb 2009Ford's 90-degree, overhead-cam Modular V8 has covered a wide spectrum since it was introduced in 1991--powering luxury cars, SUVs, pickups and high-performance sports cars. A large number of those engines have come from a Ford plant in Romeo, Mich., which has now built its 10-millionth engine--a 4.6-liter V8 that is headed for a 2010 Mustang GT. The Romeo engine plant was converted from a tractor factory.
Hongik University's transportation design process
Mon, 22 Jun 2009Hongik University in Seoul, Korea, is one of the preeminent design schools in the country with a diverse range of programs. But the school's transportation design department has also developed a unique approach for concept ideation. At the International Transportation Design Forum in Pforzheim, Germany, Professor Joo Hyun Chung from the school's Transportation Design course gave Car Design News an exclusive insight into the process, explaining how students express their ideas into 3D surfaces directly, using materials such as paper and wire for the first exploration of the form rather than the traditional 2D to 3D process.
