1973 Volkswagen Maxi Taxi 1600 Dual Port
This is a 73' VW Beetle with the very rare Maxi kit and removable top. It has the classic 1600 dual port 4cyl VW motor with a 4 speed manual transmission. It has undergone a recent mechanical and cosmetic restoration that includes brand new floors, beams, brakes, and lines. All the wiring in the car is new as well. The paint is less than 3 years old and the interior is in fantastic shape. It has some modern touches like a new stereo with a CD, iPod, USB hook-up, remote, and 4 brand new speakers. The car comes with vintage style Cragar wheels and new tires! This Maxi runs and drive as good as it looks. It is 100% turn key and ready for summer. The best part about these great little cars is that unlike many of their "dune buggy" counterparts, they are titled and completely road legal!!! I have never received more thumbs up and "WHAT IS THAT?!!" looks from people on the street than when I have been driving this. There is no better fun for the money. The factory that originally built these sadly burnt down in 1974 so they are very hard to come by now a days. Don't miss out on this one! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. This is a wonderful car that will bring its next owner a lot of joy. Thank you for viewing and happy bidding! |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
