1966 Vw Notchback on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
1966 VW Notchback. Running, driving, registered daily driver. Rebuilt top end 1641cc with new p's and c's, heads, and 34 carbs as well as tri-mil Ceramic Tuck exhaust. Currently fueled by an electric fuel pump and sparked by Pertronix pointless ignition. The transmission was also recently rebuilt to stock specification and the set up easily cruises 70 on the highway. It is set up with full air ride suspension with onboard air tank, compressor and controller. It can do front, back, and side to side. It will not hop, and is set up to ride nice, from stock to fairly low, and will sit on the bump stops as a failsafe. It has the stock type 3 beam, and with new torsion bars, could go back to torsion suspension in an afternoon. The pan and drivetrain are sorted and rust free, with new tie rod ends and good ball joints. Stock disc up front and drum in the rear. I have 2 sets of front tires one for the low low, and the other for the more "respectable" height and look. All six tires are in good shape 4 wheels only. The body is good all in all. Some rust repair has been done, and a little could still be done, see pics. Otherwise it is solid, and with the patina and "rally" inspired look, you can drive it every day, and park it anywhere. Interior is practical and usable with some wear. Lights, signals, and flashers work. Brake lights, Aoooga horn, and a stereo with hidden 12". 3 point seatbelts front and rear. It has new window seals but the door windows could use new window seals and scrapers. LED headlights, Hella fog lights, STOP 3rd brake light with new amber topped flat tail lenses. #66 gumball decals are remove-able. Currently installed in the spare area is a diesel heater, ducted to the cabin and defrost for quick warming in the cold cold or extra heating over the heater boxes. It is standalone and easily removed. The stock heater boxes are in place and functional.
All in all, it is a great car, just ready for a new project. Roof rack is included, any accessories can be discussed.
Updated... just paid for another year of CA registration.

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
