For the lucky buyer is a beautiful example of a classic VW. Originally an Arizona car. No rust!!! Floorpans are solid, body is straight. Ok, for the good, New mirrors, antenna, sunvisors, headliner carpet, front door panels, windshield seal and rear 1/4 window seals. Existing good stuff, tires and brakes are good, paint is 14 yrs old and still looks fantastic! Bumpers are good. Wheelwells are good. Runs good, shifts well. This was originally a fuel injected engine, as most of you may know, replacement parts for fuel injection of this age is hard to come by and pricey. You are in luck, my friend! This car has a single, easy to adjust, Weber carburetor. Gives it a little more horsepower and cheap to fix! (Weber rebuild kit is about $20-30) Now the not-so-good, No radio, add your sound sytem, hard part of running the antenna wire is done. No heat, The notorious heater boxes on the engines exhaust rusted through and was replaced with plain pipes.(You weren't really going to drive this in the winter anyway, were you?) I use a small ceramic 12v heater in my other squareback just to take out the chill on cool cruise nights. Very small bubbling under the paint on the right front fender between the door and fuel door opening, about 1 1/2 inch in size. I also have a small jar of the paint used with the mix formula on it. I wish I could keep this one for my daughter, but bills gotta come first. Check out samba.com, This is the nicest squareback for the price that hasn't been restored. Thank you.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
