Last Of The German Built Rabbit Golf Diesels. 5 Speed, 1.6l, on 2040-cars
Morrison, Colorado, United States
|
Rabbit Diesel, L Model, top of the line. Mostly original. ALL Original parts included if you wish (engine, tranny, steering wheel, shift knob, 4 wheels and lots more) Last of the german built. Great condition, but, all is new. New Engine 1.6L instead of original 1.5L, rebuilt special 4S 5 speed tranny imported from Germany. This special tranny gives the car an overdrive that is not too high a gear, so the car can pull hard in 5th gear. New Upgrade to GTI Brakes and suspension all the way around. Body is rust free, but there has been maintenance. GTI brakes and sway bars. Great car and real fun to drive. Not slow, keeps up with traffic just fine and will cruise at 75 MPH and get 50 MPG. Normal MPG is 42-55, that I have seen, but only 5000 miles on the new driveline. This car is running great at Denvers 5800 feet altitude. It will be faster and more fuel efficient at sea level. Everything works, paint is original but well worn. Interior is gorgeous but dash is shot with great cover on it. Car is a classic and sitting covered in a garage for winter. This is not for your kid, but a car to be cared for as there are few left in this condition. What the car needs The paint is original, I was working towards full exterior repaint in Original color, but budget prevented it so far. Right front fender is crinkled. I did it and feel bad. I have had fender off, but needs to be replaced at re-paint. There are none of these original german diesels left. They were built only 77-79 before moving to US built. The modifications I have made have raised comfortable cruise speed from 65 to 75 MPH. Starts year round no problem. Block heater, side passenger mirror remote control, Deluxe leatherette seats, original material but re-stuffed with modern foam. No rust, except some from scratches that need upkeep. Spare paint to match. Original stripes still visible on outside, but someone damaged the paint trying to remove them. This car drives great, handles great. Loads of spares. Very few of these left. I have classic car insurance and it sits covered in the garage most of the year. I am a professional mechanic and build all sorts of cars. Karl I just had to rescue. Colorado car all its life. I believe I am the second owner, other that dealer that I bought it from. Includes Car cover, manuals and more. Original owners manual, warranty manual, and dealer sales literature. |

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
