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?).

VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
