Selling my unreal 1967 Squareback. I bought this car 4 years ago sight unseen (due to having the same car in high school 25 years ago) off TheSamba.com and have since invested approximately $22,435,985.75 (or close to that?!) getting it completely road ready, reliable and BEAUTIFUL.

About the car currently:

1967, 12 volt, dual port 1600cc. Engine was rebuilt less than 5,000 miles ago. After the rebuild I added an ISP West OTT exhaust and a restored Bosch 019 distributor from Glenn. I have it tuned up every 6 months even though I drive it maybe twice a month.

It has Granada Red original paint with some patina. Waxing makes it shine shine SHINE, however the paint is 47 years old so the wax does fade quickly :)

All lights, turn signals, interior lights, electrics work correctly (except clock, cmon!)

All new stainless steel chrome trim, new Hella euro flat red rear lenses and off brand clear euro front lenses. Original Hella headlight SB-12's. Original black plate. Custom roof rack (not Pedro) looks great!

All interior was replaced. Front seats bases were repainted gloss black and front and rear seats were re-padded and reupholstered with red smooth vinyl along with all 7 matching door/interior panels. I located complete Z arm rests and had ISP West install everything nice and tight. Carpet is all new charcoal grey with oatmeal binding and includes the rear area and back of rear seat. There is also an ISP West rear cargo rubber mat over the carpet. Rear seat fold down working correctly and all very clean. All four new grey seatbelts. Headliner is correct, clean and white. All gauges were detailed and repainted.

Window rubber and trim were replaced on all windows. Both door regulators and window scrapers were all replaced. Both door seals were replaced. Original 1967 window cranks. Both rear hatch seals and engine lid seal were replaced. Popout windows were rebuilt. Front hood seal replaced. Basically all rubber is new... this car is tight, dry and quiet (comparatively haha).

Car is lowered slightly in front, stock rear height. Wheels are empi 914's with the lip painted gloss black and Wolfsburg center caps. Does not rub at all in front, will rub slightly in back over bumps if you have a full car. Tires are still new. New brakes front and back less than 500 miles ago.

I have a Retrosound stereo mated to a stock Type 3 radio faceplate hooked up to a JBL amp and carpeted Kicker 6x9's in the floor wells. Two ways to plug in your phone/music with an additional memory card slot and USB port. Also have an under dash parcel tray that FITS over the speakers.

The bad:
I have 3 stock wheels that come with it, misplaced the fourth.
Has the late style dash pad, havent found an early one yet.
Speedo cable just broke, easy fix.
Has Empi dual carbs. The shop that was supposed to rebuild my stock carbs 'misplaced' them. They put on these Empi's that I was fully prepared to hate, however they ran fine LOL. Always seemed to be tuned fine and no problems. But you know, Empi.. haha.

Pics are coming, open to possible trades (RV, motorcycle?).

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Tanner Foust drifts Rockstar Passat around US Cycling TT course

Fri, May 22 2015

The USA Cycling Time Trials take place on Saturday in Chattanooga, TN. That's also where Volkswagen has its US headquarters. So in honor of the event, VW decided to have a little fun involving Tanner Foust and a 900-horsepower Rockstar Drift car. That's a 900-hp Passat, by the way. Pro cyclist Tim Johnson rides along with Foust, showing him the intricacies of the cycling TT course. But of course, with a 900-hp drift car at his disposal, Foust makes use of roundabouts and turnaround points to do what he does best. We won't spoil the rest of the short, minute-and-fifteen-second video posted above. But if you like smoky drifts from super-modified midsize sedans, this clip is for you.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore

Thu, Jan 11 2024

The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery.Â A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.
