Here is your opportunity to own quite possibly the cleanest, over the top, off the hook, frame off and ground up restoration VW Thing. The title is salvage.It is salvage as theft recovery. The restoration began with absolute no body, seats, roll bar or wheels on frame.(hence the salvage title) Then the build began!! And it began with all new parts. It ended with all new parts. It needs nothing. Look at my feedback. Read my feedback. This is my most cherished non blood family member in my life. Our relocation to Oceanside California with no in door protection forces sale. This VW Thing is as close to a 10 on a scale of 1-10 as it gets. The public will let you know that. So be prepared for attention. Never off road. Garaged every night of it's new life. Babied and loved. Best of everything. Work done by professionals: Legendary VW and Porsche builder, race car driver and great human being Lloyd Mosher. All fabrication such as roll cage, brush guards, suspension, lift done by equally equally professional and great human being Scott Monks of Monks Racing.

Body off painted Viper red. Every single piece isolated. Gorgeous and stunning. All new rubber and trim along with all brand new stainless nuts and bolts. Every one of them.

1914cc motor with mild cam. Rebuilt stock transmission with of course new clutch. Approximately 5000 street driven miles only.

Dual (newest version) 40 Empi carbs.

Everything else new as well.:Electric fuel pump, oil sump, ceramic coated exhaust, you name it: It's been replaced new with build.

Suspsension is Fox shocks all way around with 2.0 reservoirs. Limit straps. Rear has been notched one click. Has 3" Up Your Bug body lift. New CV joints, boots, etc. Front beam cut and turned with new leafs installed..Disc front brakes.

Centerlines with 90% tread BFG's. Matching spare.

This car has nothing but the best. Look at pictures closely. Look at all the detail. The extra's are endless. Alpine stereo with Ipod/disc, equalizer, etc. Locking glove box. Tach, oil pressure, electric fuel shut off /club lock/locking steering (not going to get stolen a second time)

The top rack is custom fabricated and fitted as well and is removable.

This vehicle has been driven 99% of the time around town with doors off, windshield down and wind in your face. But with doors, window rock guards, it has numerous personalities. If you desire a soft top. Have at it and pick one up for a few hundred bucks. But doubt you will use it after driving this little gem without it. Car runs and drives perfect. Needs nothing. No, zero, nada, spot of rust. Simply over 20K invested. And that is without the labor. Bid with confidence. You may be the proud new owner of the nicest looking and most dependable VW Thing in existence. Serious only please. You want to ship? Have at it. But this baby loves to drive. And there is still the chance we may park her one block from the ocean. Even if rust is a potential element. This VW is simply off the hook. Simply just too much to list. Show it. Drive it. Love it.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
