Vw Volkswagen Rabbit Gti 1984 on 2040-cars
|
This 1984 VW GTI was found in a field back in September. We drug it home with the intention of getting it back on the road and saving it from the crusher. It had been parked because of a broken CV joint and was in pretty rough shape when we found it. The body looked solid though, so we figured it would be a worthwhile endeavor. We replaced the half shaft, wheel bearing, and tires. Then we serviced the engine and got it running again. It runs well now and can be driven while the next owner goes through everything. We focused on the main problems that kept it from being drivable and feel like we have achieved our goal so we would like to get into the hands of someone who can complete the job. Don't be deceived, this car still needs a lot of work, but it is fun to buzz around in and we think it will make someone a great project. We have cleaned it up so you can see all the flaws and hopefully make an honest assessment of the car's current condition.
A summary of all the work we have already performed and more photos can be found here: http://barnfinds.com/project-gti-for-sale/ Here are some of the areas we would want to address next: -New quarter vent windows and door gaskets. -New side mirrors. The previous owner installed aftermarket ones, so keep an eye out on eBay for the proper adjustable mirrors. -Start replacing interior pieces. The headliner is shot and the front seats are not correct. -Replace all the vacuum lines as well as the exhaust manifold gasket. -Drive it! The best way to keep an old car going is to use it. Please leave any questions you may have in the comments section here on Barn Finds and we will get back to you right away. Thanks! |

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
