Item relisted due to non-paying bidder. (tressor 6) Please due not bid unless you intend on purchasing. 1978 VW Convertible, white on white with fuel injection motor and manual transmission. The car has been in storage for a few years but will run with fresh gas. Exterior- The paint on the car is flaking as seen in the pictures and it has a few minor dents here and there with the worst one being on the passenger door as shown. All four fenders are in good shape, the hood has paint flaking and the trunk is in nice shape. The front and rear aprons have not been altered and are good and straight. The top is cut in a few spots and will need to be replaced. All of the glass is without cracks. The trim is there but the bumpers show surface rust on the tops. The running boards are in good shape and you can stand on the rockers and the car doesnt budge. The tires are very nice with lots of tread. Three of the rims are missing the center caps.
Interior- The front seats are ripped but original and the rear seat is in good shape. The dash is without cracks and is in excellent condition. Doors panels are also nice. One kick panel is missing under the rear seat. The headliner will need to be replaced.
Floor- The floor is solid and has not been repalced but it does have a hole under the battery. The very front of the pan is rusted through and should be repaired.
Mechanical- The original running fuel injection 1.6 liter motor is in it and will run well with good gas. The tranny works fine
Tilte- I do not have the title for the car. It was lost and could help obtain a replacement if needed.
ATTTENTION: The last picture is of a 1979 I have that is virtually rust free from California and is NOT included in the auction but is for sale. It's complete but apart to be restored.
Summary- All in all this is a pretty solid car. You can stand on the rockers and the car doesnt move at all. The doors still open and close nicely. Its a non-altered car that needs a little tlc to make it nice. A paint job and top would go a long way. Please ask questions and pre-sale inspections are encouraged. I have described this item to the best of my ability and again, please ask questions.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
