Drives nice.  Another couple months & springtime will resuscitate the winter sleeping buyer wanting a one-of-a-kind "red bull" for the warm weather roadster. 

Custom front to back; one of a kind. Mack truck hood ornament(bull dog). The first three pictures is to show "hubcap"/mag different look. Has full mag rims that were painted black on the fronts by previous owner as other pictures show.

There is no back seat or top (I'm sure one can be installed even if a roll bar is part of the plan; even small buckets/jump seats may be adaptable).  All carpeted with nice two fold middle split cover over battery & other floor well.  Starts & runs good.  No oil smoke; hardly any dripping.  Clutch & shifting good.  Two rear speakers.  Compare with dune buggys on Ebay. A roll bar in my VW can adapt a bimini or similar sunshade targa, & work for surfboard, beach equip, etc. cool carry.  Doors close easy, firm, & evenly (no sag, flex or drops).


ALL NEW items:  floor pan, wiring, brake parts, *front disc brakes, axle dust boots & bearings, shocks(rear have adjustable springs), front end parts, stainless trim pieces on running boards, $800 in Kumho tires, chrome lug nuts with locking one on each wheel (key to locking lugs is stored in engine compartment which locks), and so on.  The battery is not very old.  Also includes a 100% waterproof elastic cornered, & vented storage cover (for event outside parking, etc.; it does keep car dry).


NEEDS SEAT BELTS.


 CLEAR TITLE/VEHICLE ID#.


ROADSTER (NO TOP PRESENTLY), OR WHATEVER A DUNE BUGGY IS CALLED WITHOUT ANY TOP MECHANISM ))>

$8,000 was put into this custom.


* GREAT BUSINESS PROMOTION ATTENTION GETTER. 


* GEORGIA BULLDOG TAILGATER THEME & COLOR.  


* WOULD LOOK EVEN BETTER WITH A CUSTOM ROLL BAR/SNAP-ON CANVAS BIMINI (THIS WOULD RAISE VALUE // EVEN BETTER LOOK FOR SURE).   I MAY BE PAINTING THE GRILL "CHROME" AT SOME POINT & INSTALLING NEON LIGHT EFFECTS IN GRILL GROOVES/UNDER RUNNING BOARDS (LOOKS LIKE THE GRILL WAS SILVER & PAINTED BLACK). 

^^^^^^^^***** THINKING ABOUT TAKING TO THE SPRING TURKEY ROD RUN IN DAYTONA & LOCAL VW MEETS/CLUB EVENTS, SO i'LL RUN A LISTING VARIOUS TIMES UNTIL WEATHER WARMS IN MOST AREAS.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

Are more diesel scandals about to erupt?

Fri, Nov 20 2015

More automakers may soon be embroiled, like Volkswagen, in diesel emissions scandals. According to the Daily Kanban, either the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) or the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) will soon announce from 10 to 15 more cases of automakers cheating national diesel emissions rules. The outlet says three of the incidents are attributed to Opel. Studies conducted by the DUH, the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, Switzerland, and the UK's Leeds University found that Opel's diesel Zafira, Corsa, and Vectra models emit more NOx than European regulations allow when tested in ways that go beyond the European testing protocol, such as when done on a four-wheel rolling road instead of a two-wheel rolling road. Opel said the accusations had no merit. Specifically on the Zafira, the DUH asked Opel about the emissions findings, and Opel said that no General Motors software contains any measures to enable cheating. Opel then tested a Zafira of its own "both on a two- and a four-wheel roller dynamometer," finding that "The emission behavior determined in each case does not differ from one another." That makes this a case of he-said-she-said for the moment. The Daily Kanban's sources say the cheating methods "range from the crude to the highly sophisticated," with those at the latter end complex enough to render Volkswagen's methods "pedestrian." As for any automakers who might be named, the matter of real-world emissions exceeding a legal limit doesn't mean a carmaker has designed systems that cheat, it might mean the company designed the car to pass a test.

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The 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.
