This is my fathers old project car that never got out of his garage. He purchased it in 93' from someone who had it sitting in their garage for fifteen years. Since then he has taken it out a half dozen times to work on it. The first thing he had done was the floor pans which were completely replaced professionally. His next project was the rocker panels were replaced. After that it has simply sat. The only time this thing would move was when I came over and took my kids around the block in it after giving it a jump. Currently it runs rough, but with a tuneup, I am sure it would be fine. The convertible top outside layer needs to be replaced and my father has a new one waiting for installation. The interior needs new rugs and he removed the plastic wood dash to replace it with a new still waiting to be installed. The engine does not leak oil and it shifts through the gears pretty well. The clutch still has a lot there. The bad - there's some bondo on the drivers side quarter panel and it is cracked but no rust is showing. This has been this way since he bought it. So my guess is the bondo was due to a minor hit rather than rust. The drivers side front fender appears from the inside to have been in a minor hit so the headlight and the turn signal appear to have some bondo around them, but looks ok for now. The seats look ok with no rips and the radio turns on. The rear glass window is in good condition. The rear lower reflectors don't fit well and should be fixed in some way. The bumpers have no dents but do have some light surface rust and should be re-chromed if you want it perfect. All the electrics appear to work including the horn brake lights and turn signals. The wheel covers shine nice but have some dings and dents. The tires have good tread and hold air but, are dry rotted and should be replaced. In fact they look like they may be original. It is missing the antenna and the drivers side mirror is in the glove box and it needs new rugs and trim on the doors.

Volkswagen's new Passat Alltrack ready to scale the Alps
Thu, Feb 19 2015Volvo may be stepping up its off-roading game with a greater variety of Cross Country models tumbling out the factory in Gothenburg, but the other (larger) European automaker whose name starts with the letters V-O-L is also broadening and updating its range of road-going automobiles equipped to handle a little soft-road duty. Aside from Audi's Allroad line, Skoda's Scout models and the new Seat Leon X-Perience, the Volkswagen brand itself has recently showcased Alltrack versions of the Golf, Multivan and of course the Passat. And now it's announced a new version of the latter for the European market. Based on the Euro-spec Passat Variant, the new VW Passat Alltrack follows a familiar formula: take a station wagon, equip it with all-wheel drive, jack up the suspension, add some lower body cladding and some new trim and – voila! – you've got a pseudo rough-roader on your hands. Set to debut in just a couple of weeks from now at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the new Passat Alltrack is visually distinguished by its new bumpers, underbody protection, beefed-up wheel arch moldings and a ride height increased by over an inch to the benefit of ground clearance as well as approach and departure angles. European buyers who like to leave the road every once in a while (or give the impression that they do) will be able to choose from a range of five engines: two burning gasoline with either 148 horsepower or 217, and three diesels available in 148-, 187- or 237-hp states of tune. The base TSI and TDI engines are mated to a six-speed manual, while the top three are hooked up to a six-speed DCT, but they all come with 4Motion all-wheel drive as standard. All but the base TSI model boast a towing capacity of 1,800 kg, enhanced by a Trailer Assist system that automatically lines the vehicle up to a trailer. It even comes equipped with an off-road mode that incorporates Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Assist to make any journey across the Alps a breeze. Wolfsburg / Geneva, 19 February 2015 World premiere of the new Passat Alltrack All-wheel drive all-rounder combines the best of on-road and off-road driving - Passat Alltrack: 100 per cent 4MOTION – from 150 PS to 240 PS - Superior off-road performance with off-road mode and all-wheel drive Ten important facts about the world premiere of the Passat Alltrack: 1. Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard. 2. Distinctive off-road look with new bumpers, underbody protection, door sill and wheel arch trims. 3.
Tanner Foust drifts in with new VW Passat [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015Tanner Foust, like many drifting and rallycross names, may have had a long track record with Ford, campaigning Blue Oval drifters in Formula D, the X Games and the Global RallyCross Championship. He won a few medals with Nissan too. But these days he's all about the Volkswagens. He drives a Beetle in the aforementioned GRC, but is now set to return to Formula Drift with the Passat you see here. The Top Gear USA co-host's new ride is ostensibly based on the German sedan we all know, but instead of a 1.8 turbo, a V6, a TDI or even a W8, this one packs a 7.4-liter V8. That mammoth mill sends about 700 horsepower to the rear wheels through a four-speed transmission, but will churn out a good 900 hp on nitrous. In short, it should be better suited towards drifting than the Passat 4Motion this writer tried to slide so many times in his youth. The beast is sponsored once again by Rockstar Energy, and we're looking forward to watching Tanner use it to try and retake the titles he won in 2007 and 2008.
