I am selling for my Uncle. It is also for sale locally so i reserve the right to end auction early. Very qualified candidate for restoration im told. Please ask questions, ill answer to the best of my ability. Only has been put outside recently. about 2 weeks ago. been inside storage. covered outside. Floors and metal condition along with motor is it's strong points! I researched and learned about VW crankshaft end play??? this one is solid! little to no movement.
Needs carpet kit, dash pad. very affordable on many VW sites. Many extra parts included. all the bits and pieces are here. Door skins etc, but show their age. Minimal rust. only areas are around headlight bucket and bumpr mount holes. Nose is solid, trunk floor is solid. Super solid floor pans 0 rust or holes heater channel is perfect Rebuilt dual port 1600 with 10 miles on it. starts up flick of a finger Only rust is a little around passenger headlight bucket and bumper mounts (have new replacement ready to be put in) Gas tank was drained, lined and Por 15 on outside Brand new calipers and brake hoses Brand new Windshield gasket included all glass included and in near perfect condition No bumpers included. was going to do cali look. floors are super clean, he purchased this one intentionally for this reason. Do not let the sanded down exterior fool you. it is straight and smooth. Body work needed is headlight bucket, feathering out some rough edges and bumper holes. rest os smooth and VERY straight. From what i can tell, not much bondo, just in transition areas. He planned on restoring it this winter, but he hit a deer on his motorcycle and sustained brain damage. Originally out of california, has been sitting for 3 years now, this past summer motor was rebuilt, brake calipers replaced and tank relined. runs and drives, but needs someone with knowhow. My uncle is selling due to head injury,Settling estate and entering assisted living. He is a gearhead and has many classics. he talks fondly of the ghia. wanted to do airbags and lower it someday. |

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
