 DO NOT BID WITHOUT CALLING ME FIRST. Runs and drives good, ive put about 100 miles on it in the past few days. Not perfect show quality but really nice, restored years ago and shows a little age but its in great condition. Im not sure if the interior is original or replaced but its in near perfect condition. Original floorpans with no rust but the passenger rear has been replaced due to battery rot (an original pan was cut from another bug and put in) New chrome original style wheels and caps, new tires and new spare tire, new bumpers and brackets, new headlight rings, new top and top cover, original white repaint (fully disassembled and done right), new front windshield seal, new convertible top seals, new window seals (except vent window seals), new body seals (except brake light seals) , all new brake lines, new battery and a few other things. It still has all the cardboard insulation and tool kit under the front hood. The engine was just replaced with a recently rebuilt 1,600 dual port that has a 87mm big bore piston and jug kit, performance camshaft, 009 electronic ignition distributor, new quiet high performance exhaust system and a new stage 1 clutch, pressure plate & throw out bearing. It also comes with the original engine that has a locked piston. It runs and drives but needs the carburetor and timing adjusted by a professional, I done the best I could without a timing light and it starts quick, runs good and idles good, it may all be fine but I suggest having it checked. Sometimes it dies at stop signs but starts back up soon as you hit the switch. It also has a slight oil leak on the driver side, valve cover or push rod tube. I buy and sale 3 or 4 classic cars a year and use some of them for my daily driver so I know every problem and fix what needs attention, I like to leave a little work for the buyer so I can ask a reasonable price. Ive been doing this for over 20 years, sold and shipped cars all over the world through Ebay. I also have it listed local with a lot of interest so this auction can end at any time. Call, text or email, I get poor signal at home so if I don't answer please leave a message615-753-2O9O DO NOT BID WITHOUT CALLING ME FIRST.

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

VW launches special edition Touareg X

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
