1989 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 16V Helios Edition

Up for auction is my 1989 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 16V “Helios Edition.” I recently acquired this vehicle but no longer have the garage space so I need to sell it. This is an excellent example of the special Helios edition GLI, one of only 1500 made. The Helios package consisted of special paint, color matched BBS wheels, power windows/locks/seats, and a sunroof. This vehicle has a clean AutoCheck with no reported damage or accidents. This is a German built car and based on its VIN, the car was manufactured in March of 1989. There were only two options available on the Helios GLI, cruise control and ABS. This car was ordered with the optional cruise but not ABS. The car is a great candidate for restoration with minor rust (included in pictures) and runs and drives. This GLI would be a great addition to any VW enthusiast’s garage. Overall this is a great project and is a very solid example of an MKII GLI. I have included a number of pictures as well as links to several YouTube videos of the car running and driving. I also have a bucket of trim pieces as well as some miscellaneous spare parts which will come with the car. This vehicle is also for sale locally so I do reserve the right to cancel auction if it sells. This vehicle is being sold as-is.

Condition Notes:

-New tires, starter, battery, distributor, timing belt, radiator, and ball joints.

-Both front power seats work.

-Car shifts into all 5 gears and into reverse, it does however have a slight grind when shifting into 3rd gear.

-Sunroof opens and shuts, newer seal and does not leak.

-The windshield and seal need to be replaced; there is a large crack in it. I have washed the car a number of times and it does not leak though.

Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
