Up for sale is a 1972 VW type 3 Squareback. It is extremely clean and nearly rust free. I don't know a ton about this car as I haven't done a thing to it but regular maintenance and I was unable to get the exact modifications list as the owner before the person I got it from did the modifications and couldn't provide a build sheet.
Here is what I know: Engine/Trans/ drivetrain This is a modified VW motor that runs very well. I don't know what size it is nor what has been done to it but it does move you along pretty good and is definitely, definitely not a stock motor. It has a 4 speed with a SCAT Short throw shifter that works and feels great. The clutch is good, brakes are good (front disc, rear drum).The steering wheel is a very nice VW racing wheel which appears to be detachable with a key (look at the pics). The suspension is very nice and makes for comfortable ride. It has been lowered and sits on large, old school rims. The tire does rub a little bit if you turn sharply. The Engine is stamped with : 40015888 Interior The interior is nearly mint. The engine cover is the original and works very well (no leaks into the interior) and the carpet through out is very nice. The seats appear to be original but I think to have been reupholstered because they are tear free and look great. The dash has one very small 1/2" gash by the front defrosting vent. The Headliner is perfect and door cards are good. It does have speakers installed but no stereo; the last owner installed speakers but I bought it before they got to a chance to install it. All the gauges work, e-brake works well and has a custom aluminum handle. Even the interior light switch works! Exterior It has an original roof rack, with the patina look on the frame; the wood is good (could use a sanding and a few coats of lacquer) . The trim that runs down the side has been shaved and replaced with two pin strips. Tinted windows The wind caught the door one day when it was parked and caused a crease in the driver door (see pics). It could be repaired by any body shop. Because of the crease and a few blemishes, it needs a paintjob once the door is fixed. The paint job is good as is and is in decent shape otherwise, with a just a few other blemishhes. The car is almost no rust. the floors are good, battery box and engine bay are good, body is good with the exception there is a rust bubble at the the passenger fender near the windscreen (small and you have to be looking for it to see it- See the pics). Other than that is good to go. It is Sold as is AS, as it is a 41 year old car. Ask me any questions prior to bidding. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipment and pickup. Contact me if there are any questions, I am not a VW expert so please let me know if you need any more info from me. |

Volkswagen preparing Tiguan Coupe R
Sat, Aug 15 2015Volkswagen has might proliferation plans for the SUV side of the VW brand, Autocar listing a range that will comprise seven models and variants on sale by 2018. The next-generation Tiguan will play a large part in tripling VW's crossover lineup, a development discussed a year ago, with a standard model, the three-row long-wheelbase version to be built in Mexico, and a five-door "Coupe" variant that will get an R version worked up by the in-house R team. The Tiguan Coupe R is aimed at the performance end of the compact crossover field, giddyup coming from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with something like 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque that works through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Underpinnings are expected to be cribbed from the Golf R; a hotter suspension tune with a lower ride height and four-mode damping. The sprint to 62 miles per hour would clock in around 5.1 seconds, and handling nous would be aided by all-wheel drive and electronic torque vectoring. It will need all of that in order to catch up to the competitive set listed by Autocar of the 375-hp Mercedes-AMG GLA45, 309-hp Audi RS Q3, and potential Range Rover Evoque SVR and BMW X2 M. The CrossBlue Coupe seen in Shanghai earlier this year will provide the styling cues, we're told, with rakish glass front and back, and thick C-pillars supporting a leaner greenhouse. We'll likely see the basic Tiguan at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, then will come the long-wheelbase in 2016, the regular Coupe in 2017 along with the Touareg and US-built CrossBlue, then in 2018 the Tiguan Coupe R, CrossBlue Coupe, and Nissan Juke-fighting T-Roc.

Jay Leno takes a ride in Gabriel Iglesias' classic 1966 VW bus
Tue, Feb 3 2015We've seen Jay Leno driving all manner of vehicles, many of them epically fast. But few (this is side of his steamers, anyway) have been as slow – or quite as beautiful – as this classic 1966 Volkswagen Samba. While many of the vehicles featured on episodes of Jay Leno's Garage have actually been from Jay Leno's own garage, the former talk-show host has been known to feature some interesting rides from fellow comedians. A couple of weeks ago it was Adam Carolla's '68 Lamborghini Islero, and this vintage, pristine VW bus belongs to Gabriel Iglesias. It's in beautiful condition and is a sight to see, even if it has a little trouble making its way down the highway. Or starting up again after a quick snack break.
