This car is a PARTY on Wheels
Im kind of know for building some crazy looking motorcycles and selling them, the last bike I sold I took in a 1966 Volkswagen Bug in on trade. So I wanted to transform into the old school Tijuana Taxi. When I got the car it ran good at sometime someone has put in a newer 1600cc VW motor with dual carbs, it starts right up and runs fine. Like most bugs it does leak some oil and after stopping on a long drive it will smoke a bit. The car have been lowered with drop spindles. New tires have just been installed and have less then 10 miles on them. It starts right up every single time and drives out pretty good for what it is. Like a bunch of these older beetle the floor boards are very weak and have several holes in them. The battery was almost to fall through. I didn't address much of the rust factor, it's still has holes but I wanted to make it at least safe. I did fab up a new battery box and the seat it felt like you were going to fall through, so I welded a thick plate from the door jambs to the trans tunnel and then mounted the new office chair seats. The rest of the interior was pretty trashed so I built all new panels and covered them in a Mexican fabric.
Outside I wanted the patina look so I painted the whole car in flat mocha brown and then sanded through exposing all the color underneath, then hand painted the door logo's
We had a bug car show in town this weekend and the Tijuana Taxi was a huge hit, I think it had more people around it than any other car at the show. It was a blast watching and listing to people commits, nobody could walk past it with out stopping and everyone wanted to take a picture of it. I brought along a Sombrero and let them wear it while taking pictures.
I have only had this car three weeks, my goal was to make it cool and send it down the road. I don't have the title back from the state yet but it will have a clean and clear title and I should have it back soon.
Driving down the road you get thumbs up all the time, I've even been pulled over several times with people wanting to take there picture beside it.
I've only owned this car 3 weeks and haven't driven it much my longest trip has only been 30 miles, I would not think this car would be a good daily driver, but it's perfect for car shows, parades or any other events. It has a amazing look and you will get tons of complements. I had a amazing time at our 3 day car show seeing all the smiles I but on peoples faces.
You will get all kind of attention driving this car, so if your on the FBI Wanted list don't buy this car, if you don't like attention DONT BUY THIS CAR. But if you enjoy seeing everyone smile this might be the right car for you.
For a living I sell cars on ebay for a couple of dealerships here in town, and I set up shipping every single day. So I can help you arrange shipping. I would not suggest a cross country trip until you get the car checked out a bit more.
I hope everyone loves my latest creation, it makes me smile every time I look at it. I think the car should sell for over $5000.00 but I will let you the bidder tell me what it's worth. This auction will be no reserve and I will start it at just one penny and it will sell to the highest bidder. Put I will not tolerate slow payment, I expect a $500 paypal within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days, it you cant do this don't bid.
Call or Text me Devin at 620-664-3011 with any questions.
Good Luck winning this auction and I hope you enjoy the Tijuana Taxi

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The 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.
Tanner Foust drifts Rockstar Passat around US Cycling TT course
Fri, May 22 2015The USA Cycling Time Trials take place on Saturday in Chattanooga, TN. That's also where Volkswagen has its US headquarters. So in honor of the event, VW decided to have a little fun involving Tanner Foust and a 900-horsepower Rockstar Drift car. That's a 900-hp Passat, by the way. Pro cyclist Tim Johnson rides along with Foust, showing him the intricacies of the cycling TT course. But of course, with a 900-hp drift car at his disposal, Foust makes use of roundabouts and turnaround points to do what he does best. We won't spoil the rest of the short, minute-and-fifteen-second video posted above. But if you like smoky drifts from super-modified midsize sedans, this clip is for you.
Suspended VW exec Hackenberg resigns in wake of scandal
Fri, Dec 4 2015Ulrich Hackenberg, father of the innovative modular architecture that underpins many modern Volkswagen and Audi products and a 30 year veteran of the giant company, has resigned his position as the lead engineer for the entire Volkswagen Group as well as his seat on Audi's management board, reports Automotive News. The resignation closes out a two-month suspension while the investigation into VW's deceptive emissions practices continues.The resignation follows the admission by Audi that the 3.0-liter TDI V6 engine was also fitted with emissions-control defeating software, like some of its four-cylinder TDI counterparts. In turn, this lead to changes in Audi's management structure. AN reports that Matthias Muller, who has already taken over Martin Winterkorn's position as VW Group CEO, will also be named chairman of the Audi brand.Hackenberg's successor was named as part of this announcement. Stephan Knirsch, who has lead engine development at the Audi division, will assume Hackenberg's roles as both board member for Audi in charge of technical development, and as the head for technical development across the whole group.Related Video:
