CAR HAS BEEN LOWERED VIA SELECT DROP 5", NARROWED BEAM & SWAY AWAY ADJUSTABLE SPRING PLATE, ROLLING ON 16" BUDNIK'S WITH BFG'S. THIS CAR WAS BUILT "NO EXPENSE SPARED" IN 1999, THEN SOLD AND DRIVEN UP AND DOWN AN EXTENDED DRIVEWAY FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THE ENGINE HAS VERY VERY LITTLE MILEAGE ON IT, IF ANY. AS REPORTED,THE ELDERLY OWNER WAS SIMPLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT . WHEN I GOT IT I HAD IT SORTED OUT BY A LOCAL PORSCHE EXPERT WHO ALSO MEASURED AND ADJUSTED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I RESTORED A 1963 MERCEDES SL TWO YEARS AGO, I KNOW WHAT AN ALL METAL PROJECT LIKE THIS WOULD COST TO BUILD TODAY. YOU WOULD HAVE TO SPENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $ 75 000 TO $ 100 000 DOLLARS TO REPLICATE THIS CAR , IF YOU WANTED THIS KIND OF QUALITY. I AM GIVING IT AWAY FOR LESS THEN A QUATER OF THAT AMOUNT ! SO, IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT , AND YOU ALWAYS WANTED ONE LIKE THIS, GRAB IT. SOME WARNING ; THE PAINT LOOKS WONDERFUL AND HAS SOME IMPERFECTIONS THAT ARE NOT VERY NOTICEABLE. ( VERY FEW NOSES, SMALL CHIPPING) . THERE IS ALMOST NO RUST, APART FROM MINOR SURFACE RUST IN THE FRONT UNDER THE CAR WHERE IT HAS HIT THE GROUND , BECAUSE IT RIDES SO LOW. ONLY 2 OR 3 PARAMETERS ARE WORKING ON THE DAKOTA DIGITAL DASH INSTRUMENTS. CAR COMES WITH THE FULL MAUAL OF THIS DASH AND THE GAUGES NEED TO BE TURNED OR PROGRAMMED IN . THIS CAR HAS A MODIFIED DASH AND FRONT WINDOW WITH NO WIPERS AND ALSO DOES NOT HAVE SIDE WINDOWS. I HAVE MOST OF THE WINDOWS PARTS BUT NOT ALL , AS SEEN IN ONE PHOTO. WHAT IS MISSING IS ONE MAIN SIDE WINDOW AND ONE BACK SIDE WINDOW. (THE FRAME IS THERE) WHAT WINDOW PARTS YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. IT CANNOT BE ROCKET SCIENCE TO GET THE MISSING WINDOW PARTS FROM WOLFSBURG WEST. I BELIEVE THERE ARE NO MODIFICATIONS ON THE DOORS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT REINSTALLATION OF THE WINDOWS , IF THAT IS WHAT YOU DESIRE. CAR COMES WITH A BIG FOLDER WITH LOTS OF BILLS FROM GENE BERG ETC. I AM SELLING THIS CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AT HAND. I AM NOT GIVING THIS CAR AWAY OTHER THEN TO MY GRANDCHILD. (SORRY) BUT I KNOW THIS IS A MORE THEN FAIR WINTER PRICE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. THERE ARE MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS ON OLD BUG COM. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND SEEING THIS CAR BEFORE YOU BUY, SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS , UNLESS YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE BUG NUT AND REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS. IT IS EXCEPTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK (AFTER CLEARANCE), NO PAY PAL . I NEED A NON REFUNDABLE $ 1000 WITHIN 72 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE ! THANK YOU FOR LOOKING |

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
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.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
