Question asked regarding colored rubber on the running board and fender beading. Was asked is this painted over. Answer :This was purchased from Germany by the previous owner (PO) . Was available as an option evidently by VW but not in the states. The rubber itself is colored it is not painted.

Question asked regarding date of 2007 on one picture? Answer Picture was included to show that although the restoration was completed originally in 2007 the car is still fresh and new looking .Paint, Glass, chrome, rubber seals, interior window felt guides all excellent; no rust, no paint flaws due to poor paint prep after 7 yrs. The quality of the car speaks for itself as the testament of a high quality restoration is how it stands up over time. This one is aging beautifully!!

Question asked how many horse power is the 40hp engine now? Answer engine is now around 52 hp . It's 1385cc. The MSD electronics and increase displacement work together well. MSD is a leader used since the 80's in the racing circuit. The spark is controlled by a computer with many multi sparks at lower speeds and longer duration sparks up the advance curve. This burns virtually all the fuel in the cylinder provides great gas mileage saves engine bearings and increases performance/power.

Question What does the car have on the underside for rust protection ? Answer new pans and complete underside were epoxy coated and then 3m truck bed liner applied very strong stuff.

Question Noticed a front hood badge in the pictures I thought 62 was the last year for the Wolfsburg crest badge? Answer I've been told that early production 63 cars still had the left over Wolfsburg crests on the front hood. This car built in Feb. so would be correct as it's actually an early car for 63. Please refer to picture of Birth certificate. thanks great questions

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
