Up for auction is a freshly restored 1964 Beetle, This had NO RUST on the body at all! IT was sanded, and Re-Painted with 3 coats of GM white. Fenders and doors were removed to get to everything. Vehicle now has been undercoated to prevent any rust from starting. First, a quick list of things fixed or replaced. NEW FLOOR PANS, both halves completely replaced with new ones. NEW CARPET, Seat covers have been cleaned and are not torn, DOOR PANELS, GLOVE BOX, ASSIST HANDLE, WIPERS, GLASS HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, rear tailights are original glass (not cracked or broken), RADIO AND SPEAKERS with AM/FM/CD/USB/ AUX. NEW ANTENNA. Also has new STAINLESS STEEL polished Running Boards. NEW SEAT BELTS. NEW WINDOW SEALS ALL THE WAY AROUND, NEW trunk and decklid seals, and, NEW door seals. Brakes have been gone over and have at least 70% life left. Engine has been timed, plugs regapped, points cleaned and adjusted, valves adjusted with NEW Valve Cover gaskets. This has dual carbs that have been sychronized and adjusted. There is no choke on these carbs, so, she needs to be tickled a little when cold start-up. Door locks and decklid have been gone through and lubed/cleaned as needed. Runs great and shifts well. I am a VW nut myself, and I was suprised at the pep this car has! Not your typical slow beetle! The bumpers have been smoothed and customized for a No-bolthead CAL-LOOK appearance. Tires are good and hold air, Steering is tight and bearings have been repacked and greased. Trans has new fluid in it. Has fresh oil change, also has remote oil filter next to right rear wheel. The original sunroof has some new parts in it as well, GUIDES AND CABLES are new, CRANK GEAR is new. Now, for the not-so perfect, The sunroof works, but just needs a little helping hand to assist opening/closing. The headliner has some staining on it, but is not torn. A little interior paint or, if you are handy, a new headliner is about $80 online. Paint has a few spots with dust in it, but a little wet sanding and a buff would come out. Also, the exhaust is a header with dual Quiet pack mufflers on it and does not have the heater boxes required to have heat in the cabin. In the front trunk area, there are two 4" holes that were drilled in there at some point, I do not know why. Reciepts for all new parts are included. I am a VW/Audi technician and have performed all the work myself on this car, I am listing it for my neighbor whom actually owns the car and runs a small auto dealer as a hobby. I have listed the good and not-so good as well as I can recall. We reserve the right to end auction early, as it is for sale locally. No warranty, as-is. Buyer responsible for pick-up or shipping. Thank you and happy bidding!

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
