Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
A rare find.. This 1987 VW Cabriolet is super clean and rust free. Motor is in great shape/does not use or leak oil. Purchased new in Kentucky for $15995.00. I have owned it about 5 years and driven it about 10,000 miles. I have installed a new top and liner, front struts, rear shocks and springs, wheel alignment, new front tires, rack and pinion boots, speedometer cable and gear drive, emergency brake cables, tie rod end, ball joint, V belts and hoses, driver's side CV joint, boot and drive shaft, motor and transmission mounts, plugs, points, plug and coil wires, rebuilt alternator, transmission rebuilt, headlight switch, seat leg sliders kit, water pump and thermostat, antifreeze, coolant temp sensor, outer rear wheel bearings, control arm bushings (purchased but not yet installed), and other parts. Email me for a complete new parts list. I am selling this car because my wife has chiropractic neck issues and longer trips I had hoped we could take in the VW has not been possible as she needs our Buick LaSabre. This car is not driven in Michigan in the winter months. We tow dolly it to FL each winter. I have this car for sale locally for $4950.00 and reserve the right to sell it before this auction ends. I paid $2500.00 for the VW and have spent $3250.00 on putting it up in top mechanical shape. I have lost track of the hours spent installing the new parts. If you have other questions email me and I will do my best to answer all your questions. This car hugs the road and is lots of fun to drive. Being 27 years old it is an antique which increases in value. If you purchase this car and are not satisfied with the car when you come to pick it up, I will refund your money, less my eBay charges.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
