Thank you for taking a look at this great little bug. I'm selling this for my parents. They used it as a towed behind their RV and still has the tow package (lights, towbar, bra) if you care to use it. They got it in a trade 3-4 years ago.
Its mechanically sound top to bottom front to rear.
-The previous owner said it was an 1835 engine. We have not verified this.
-It has dual Solex carbs and runs great with plenty of power for safe highway driving.
-No issues with the steering, brakes, transmission, engine, or electrical.
-I did notice the key had to be "wiggled" sometimes to engage right.
-Excellent tires.
The baby blue paint shines great but has a few blems upon close inspection. The RF fender has a small creased spot (hardly visible), so does the front bumper. Both have minor pitting.. The aluminum trim is in great shape, body rubbers look new, it has a deck lid from a convertible for additional cooling capacity.
No rust issues or cobbled up previous repairs.
Really clean interior, retains the rear popout windows, front windows roll up and down no problems. The headliner has some minor discolor.
Rare vintage Empi GT wood steering wheel
This is a nice restoration on a car that was good to start with.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
