Up for sale is a 1970 VW Baja fresh pan off restoration. Many new parts, I’m sure I’ve missed writing a few down. It has a freshly rebuilt 1600cc dual port engine. It runs great and it hasn't even got to break it in yet. It shifts through all the gears without popping out. I just got it running this week and have only driven it a few times tuning it. The Baja is not insured so I have not got it out on the highway. The heat works and is hooked up to the front defrost, other vents are blocked off. Headlights work, turn signals work, emergency flashers work, both wiper speeds work (slow and slower), brake lights work, and the emergency brake works. All window rubber is new, even the vent window seals. Side windows have new felt and window scrapers.
The Baja is solid, all
rust was cut out and metal welded in. The battery tray was replaced and
coated on both sides with POR-15. Other small areas on the pan patched and then
coated with POR-15. Then I coated both sides of the pan with Rustoleum.
The front part of the channel and firewall have been patched, also coated in
POR-15 then Rustoleum.
It has a fresh paint
job, coated in Urethane base coat, clear coat. Color is called Reflex Blue.
There are no runs, the paint laid down nicely. There is some orange peel in the
clear but it has a very nice shine. Someone could always wet sand the clear to
get the perfect mirror finish if one wants, but I didn’t build this Baja for a
show car. It is a great looking, fun to drive Baja. I made it to enjoy, not
something to hide away in a garage. The rims, front bumper, rear cage, and nerf bars are painted in a single stage acryic hot road satin black. No rattle can paint was used on this Baja. Unfortunately, I do have a scratch next to the driver's outer door handle. The passenger window also has a scratch and some tiny chips. Engine specifics: New 34 pict 3 carberator,
New SVDA vacuum advance distributor, New fuel pump, New fan belt, New coil, New
NGK plugs, New Bosch plug wires, New Cam, New lifters, New crank bearings, New
cam bearings, New rod bearings, New rings, New exhaust valves, New clutch disc.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
VW takes world sales crown from Toyota for first half of 2015
Tue, Jul 28 2015Despite uncertainty in major markets like Russia and China, Volkswagen is wearing the global sales crown for the first half of the year to overtake Toyota. Through the first six months of 2015, VW sold 5.04 million vehicles, which only narrowly beat its Japanese rival's 5.02 million, Reuters reports. The half-year trophy also placed the German brand one step closer to the goal of being the world's largest automaker. VW can't just cruise through the second half of 2015 to continue wearing the crown, though. The company is a major player in China, and that might start to be a disadvantage soon. Auto demand there is expected to be weak for the rest of the year, which could mean dire effects for companies around the world. According to Reuters, the Western European market shows few signs of a sudden surge, either. To turn things around, VW is working on a massive realignment to be more responsive by organizing its 12 brands under four separate holding companies. One factor in VW's favor is that Toyota is facing its own sales struggles across the globe. In the last fiscal year, the Japanese automaker had growing profits but actual volume was down. At the time, the company predicted a drop to 8.9 million vehicles for the current fiscal period. According to Reuters, Toyota has had problems growing in emerging markets and dealing with higher taxes on small vehicles in Japan. For all of 2014, Toyota held the sales trophy with 10.23 million sales, and VW was in second place with 10.14 million. General Motors came in third with 9.92 million. The year was the first time that VW or Toyota had ever surpassed 10 million vehicles over the stretch of a calendar. Related Video:
2015 Volkswagen Touareg TDI Quick Spin [w/video]
Thu, Jul 9 2015There are two particularly great things about diesel-powered cars: torque and range. The 2015 Volkswagen Touareg TDI has both in spades. We put 190 miles on our test car, and upon return, the computer claimed we still had 490 miles to go. We weren't even averaging the EPA-estimaged 29 miles per gallon highway. Plus, that's in a sport-utility vehicle with tons of room and a whopping 406 pound-feet of torque. That said, our most recent adventure with the Touareg wasn't totally positive. This thing feels decidedly long in the tooth, despite a 2014 refresh. Driving Notes The Touareg TDI's powertrain really is the star of the show. The 3.0-liter, turbodiesel V6 has been in service since 2009, but it's still a dynamite engine. With 240 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, the latter of which can be called upon at just 2,000 rpm, there's no shortage of thrust under your right foot. Turbo lag is an issue when you get aggressive with the throttle, but don't drive like a boob and you'll be fine. ZF's critically acclaimed eight-speed automatic delivers that power to all four wheels. But where other ZF-equipped vehicles deliver a crisper, sharper character, the TDI's trans is tuned for a far more relaxed driving experience. Upshifts are leisurely; the eight-speed keeps you right in the thick of the Touareg's broad torque curve. The suspension tuning follows a similar philosophy. It's far more comfortable than dynamic, soaking up all manner of bumps and general imperfections with aplomb. That said, the Touareg does not feel floaty or disconnected – just smooth. The greasy bits of the Touareg are very desirable, but the package they're wrapped in is less so. It's not that the interior or exterior designs are necessarily bad – fans of Earth tones will love our tester's Black Oak Brown Metallic paint and Cornsilk Beige interior – they're just kind of bland, or anonymous. The switchgear and buttons come from the Volkswagen parts bin, and while they're fine on a $20,000 Golf, these pieces aren't as appropriate in a vehicle that starts at more than twice the price. The dash plastics and faux wood don't look as nice as what's inside an Acura MDX, or even a Jeep Grand Cherokee. This mid-level Touareg TDI Lux starts at $57,580.
