The buggy is titled in the state of Ohio as a 1968 vw roadster and street legal.

I have owned the buggy for 3 years and have slowly been updating the engine. Didn't know much about VW's before buying and have learned more than I wanted too about air-cooled vw's. If you are new to VW's -- be sure to do your homework or you might be buying a project. The first year I owned mine I seemed to always be broken down on the side of the road.

The buggy has a new re-built 1835cc dual-port motor and I only have put 2,000 miles on it so far. The transmission has also been upgraded to a 3-rib IRS (later style) transmission shaft and throw out bearing with new clutch plate. It's a salvage transmission, not rebuilt, and shifts perfectly. Reverse and all gears shift easily with no grinding. The buggy has also been totally re-wired because the original wiring had problems. LED taillights to ensure you are seen in traffic. Buggy has roller gas pedal but can have pedal added.

A new Weber progressive carburetor (32/36) DFEV carburetor with electric choke fuels the motor. The distributor has been upgraded to a 009 pointless distributor with built in pointless pickup. A full flow oil pump with filter has been added. The 12 generator was removed and replaced with a modern alternator. Ceramic dual exhaust system was added. A new speedometer which shows miles since new motor and fuel gauge also works. The volt and oil pressure gauge need wired to work. New front seats have been added. The seats don't recline but can move back and forth for adjustment. The passenger seat cover has a small hole but the color of the seats always can be changed with new seat covers. The seat covers cost around $40.00 each.

The buggy has a bad boy air horn installed and just had a front wheel alignment.

The buggy's motor and performance are excellent. Nice rumble sound and has some power. Top speed is around 80-85 but I can go faster if traveling downhill. People always ask top speed by hearing the engine when I am driving around town. I have to remind them it's a 4 cylinder engine powered by 1960's technology.

Things which still need done on the buggy: It still has drum brakes and could be upgraded to disc brakes on the front to ensure better stopping power. It does need cosmetic work but this is a turn-key buggy ready to drive.

You can call and ask for Mark (216)-799-6555. You can also text me or e-mail with any questions. I tried to explain all parts on the buggy but ask if you have any questions in case I forgot something. I also can include a used tow-bar used to transport vw buggies and single roll bar which I removed because it was a hassle for passengers to enter the back seat.

If out of the state of Ohio: check your laws because some states don't allow buggies to be titled for street use or make it difficult.

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
