This would be a great beach cruiser, show car, weekend top-down convertible or even a daily driver. Since the restoration, it has always been garaged and has never seen rain. No expense was spared when restoring this vehicle. The restoration was completed in 2008 at a total cost of over $18000. Due to a growing family, I've decided to sell our bug for a much, much lower price. I recently had it tuned up at a local VW shop and they gave it a thumbs up. All of their customers that came into the shop commented on how good it looked. This car is fun to drive, always turns heads and makes people smile. It has been driven less than 2500 miles since the restoration!

The CPR Torquemaster engine always starts right up, has nice power and built with the following specs: C.2. Crankshaft forged DPR 8 dowell, New Case AS41 Opened to 90.5mm and tapered for full flow, German rebuild connecting rods, TM10 Chico performance grind Norris racing lifters, Lightened flywheel, Gene Berg chromoly racing Gland nut, 8mm chromoly head studs, 90.5 Mahale pistons/cylinders with Grant rings, new 043 heads with 35.5 x 32 stainless steel valves and steel push rods, 26mm H.D. oil pump modified for full flow, 35mm dual solex carbs with electric chokes, new alternator, Sachs pressure late with Dankin Racing disk, hideaway muffer,
The only issues I would resolve include readjustment of the front trunk and adjusting the tachometer. The front trunk has rubbed a small amount of paint off (see picture) and could use a hinge adjustment. The aftermarket tachometer configuration (DIP) switches need adjustment to display the proper engine speed. That just involves accessing the back of the tach and moving a few switches. Otherwise, this car is in excellent shape!

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept still makes us swoon
Fri, Nov 21 2014We know, we know – this hot little guy isn't really new or anything. Volkswagen first rolled out the Golf R 400 concept in Beijing earlier this year, and since its debut, we've heard rumors that the German automaker might-perhaps-maybe-hopefully build the thing. Its showing here in Los Angeles simply marks the first time it's debuting in America, and honestly, we can't get enough. So here it is, again. Hello, Golf R 400 – we love you. And what's not to love? What starts as a normal Golf R gets better with a more aggressive appearance, big wheels, some tasteful neon yellow accents, and a whole mess of power. The original concept packed 395 horsepower from an overblown 2.0-liter turbo-four, though the most recent reports suggest a production version could produce over 400 hp. To keep it all in line, the concept has all-wheel drive. And inside, it's the same functional, comfortable Golf we've always loved. There's nothing left to say, really. We love this car, and you should, too. Check it out in the gallery above.

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power
Thu, Feb 27 2014No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.
