For sale: the funnest car I've ever owned.  It's not perfect.  Just a few paint chips here and there.  They didn't paint under the hood or the trunk, but the original color in it's original condition is displayed there and I think it looks cool.  You can see the motor has been upgraded.  It runs and drives perfectly.  Starts every time and goes down the road with no problem.   Disk brakes all around, and a killer custom sound system.  Ipod, blue tooth, subwoofer, etc.  Here are it's faults in a nutshell:


  No paint under the hood and trunk
  A couple of paint chips, and the front and rear apron could have been done better as far as body work goes
  When loaded down with two adults and a great dane, the front tires will rub on the fenders when you hit a big bump
  The ragtop mechanism works fine, but it's just a bit sticky when returning it to the front.
   The left rear fender has a dent in it, but a complete set of replacement fenders is included.
   Speedometer needle is homemade and wooden.  Someone's custom work, and it works fine, but the purists would want to know about it.
   No heat system.  All been removed, but channels are fine.  Tubes coming in from engine compartment are filled w insulation, for obvious reasons
   Someone who knows what they're doing needs to do new window felts on this thing, and put stock window cranks on it.  
  

Here's the good stuff:
   Runs perfectly.  Starts every time, goes like hell
   While "leather" (Might be real, but I doubt it) interior that cleans up easy and is quite durable
   White window rubber (Hawaiian look) is the last of it's kind as far as I know.  
   Garage Kept, rubber and plastic in good shape
   The stereo is a custom dream come true.  Plug in your ipod, run pandora, nice low end from the sub without blowing you out.
   Full set of spare fenders
   Full set of spare wheels (cookie cutters, like the ones that are mounted)
   Guages, wipers, lights, all good.
   Disk brakes do the job QUICK.
   A box of assorted goodies will accompany the sale.  Trim pieces, doo dads, oh, and a transmission.  

   This is not the kind of vehicle you sell unless you have to, and friends, I have to.  It will bring it's new owner years of joy.  

    Bidders in the contiguous 48 only please.  $500 deposit due in 24 hours, the rest due in 7 days.  Cash in hand, wire transfer or certified check.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
