This 57 oval is as cool as it gets.  Ill get some more pics up soon(with updated pics of brand new distributor etc)

Great Running Motor 1641 - Rancho Transmission Freeway Flyer

Awesome Deeps Wheels in rear

Recently put her on a IRS pan (with body to pan gasket) no rust.

The good and the bad----

Bad first - Not really bad but brakes need adjusting, plus I have 2 new brake fluid reservoirs that can be installed, just don't have time. Brakes prob just need to be bled, not the strongest at the moment but everything else is tip top. Had plans for this great bug but now is not the time.

As promised new pics - note that I did not wait tip "Golden Hour" to take pics, These pics are in broad daylight.  I didn't want to wait tip later to take pics that look better than they are.  Even though the Bug looks better in person IMO.  Trying to honestly represent this car.


Also some notes from my drive today, you cannot beat this electronic distributor - the car fires up on the first try and immediately idles perfect, no gas pedal, gas pedal, gas pedal. just fire it up and let her warm up,  The motor runs sooooo smooth, the clutch engages so nice and smooth, especially compared to other bugs Ive owned.  

Anyway this thing is nice and straight and if you email me your email address I can shoot you a quick video of the motor running if you'd like.  Any more question just let me know.

Also I will have a few extra's for the winning bidder, not going to list them here, only winning bidder will know - thanks

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand

Wed, Jun 3 2020

Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
