1973 Volkswagen Beetle - Baja Bug on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
1973 Volkswagen Beetle - Baja Bug This car recently went through a "pan off" build and has approx. 3000 miles since completed. The car and cage is custom painted and hand pinstriped. The engine and transmission were built professionally and have approx. 3000 miles. This is a super clean, well built, Baja bug! All body/window rubber, seals, felts etc are new. The only thing reused was the rear/side window glass, doors, windshield wiper motor, body & pan. Everything else was replaced! The car is not full of "holes" where the cage and shocks come thru the body.... It was done very clean. Its hard to find one thats had this much love and attention to detail. Cost to build was over $24,000 in parts alone. It is street legal and I have a clear Nevada title. It was previously titled in CA. Body and pan have matching numbers. Almost all driving was done on the street and the vehicle runs & drives great!

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.

Tue, Oct 20 2015Car Club USA travels back to Englishtown Raceway Park for Waterfest, a celebration of water-cooled Audi and Volkswagen cars. We catch up with a pair of VW autocross contestants racing for top prize, and a young Audi owner hoping to win best in show for the Garden State Euros car club. "It's massive," explained Garden State Euro's Ryan Topken. "You have tons of vendors, tons of events going on. There's the show. There's the drag strip. There's autocross." "It's pretty much like a frat party for Volkswagens," added fellow club member Carlin Belkowski. Will the guys from Garden State Euros head home with any hardware?
