1990 VW Jetta Mk2 VR6 CUSTOM 5spd
Up for sale is a show field ready vehicle.
RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a completely restored
and retro-modified 1990 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan VR6 Mk2
has grey cloth RECARO interior with front power seats
and Wolfsburg chrome trim and will includes a set of five forged BBS wheels
Kenwood CD/MP3/USB/iPod stereo with Kicker speakers, amp, and subwoofers.
Custom Porsche Jade Green paint
with a shaved engine bay and a complete engine swap
vehicle is powered by a 1998 VR6 2.8L engine with OBD2 and 5speed 020A transmission and the engine is dressed with a stainless steel skid plate
and completed with a T-304 stainless steel exhaust
Battery relocated to the trunk with fused relays for the headlights and stereo.
Also have the USDM front grill with Hella lights and
a full European Quad grille with Glass Halo lights and a badge-less grille.
The car can be shown, seen, and inspected by appointment.
This vehicle was completely redone and has about $40k invested.
Similar vehicles have been sold from $15k-$25k.
This car is not a project car and is complete and a daily driver or show car.
Vehicle passed Virginia State Inspection and Emissions certifications in 3/2013.
Which means no Virginia state inspection until 3/2014 and it will not have to pass emissions in the state of Virginia ever again as it will be considered an antique in 2015 by Virginia DMV laws.
Please be aware that currently the car is setup without Power steering or Air Conditioning but the brackets are there and these could easily be added to the vehicle if wanted. The car runs better without these features in my opinion.
Weight savings on the A/C delete was nearly 300 lbs and the manual steering is much more responsive.
Everything works on the car as it should heat, gauges, and rear defroster.
Suspension is dialed in on Raceland coilovers with T-304 stainless steel solid front strut mounts.
Simply put, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
This car was custom built from a 1990 VW Jetta GL with no accident history and it is an original no sunroof vehicle with manual windows and the basics.
The interior was sourced from two Jetta GLI 16V factory Recaro equipped cars.
The engine swap and conversion was sourced from a rear hit 1998 VW Jetta GLX with only 78k miles on the motor. The car had about 90k miles on it before the restoration, swap, and build. The engine conversion and swap was completed using factory parts and Euro-wise conversion kit.
Again, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
Parts and Labor this car would be twice my asking price.
Send offers.
I will entertain trades, offers, and may offer a partial owner financing option.
Plan to sell this car by the end of the month, so don't hesitate if interested.
Vehicle will be advertised locally, appear at local car events with a for sale sign, and will be listed on eBay as it must be sold.
I am a car enthusiast, having built, modified, and tuned many vehicles over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle. I am selling this Jetta to focus on other projects and interests. This is an exceptional vehicle that you could drive anywhere. I feel that I do not drive it enough and thus have decided to list it for sale. Need the space, have to let go of my toys. Bring all offers.
I will assist with shipping, pickup, or delivery.
Please be aware:
I have a Wolfsburg Edition steering wheel but it is not currently installed, due to the need of a steering wheel hub adapter.
There is an air horn in the car and it is currently wired to a button on the dashboard. All wiring is correct except for this function and the windshield washer function.
Currently the horn and windshield washers are wired to buttons rather than their respective locations in the steering column.
I could not isolate the windshield washer switch toggle on the washer arm and therefore wired in a push button feature.
The upgraded air horn required a relay and these two functions could be wired to their factory locations, switches, and functionality if needed.
The wiring for these two functions (horn and windshield washers) was done as a temporary solution to opening up the steering column wiring.
The buttons are located in places which could be removed to maintain a factory look installation.
I had planned on correcting this when I installed the Wolfsburg steering wheel and just have not gotten around to it.
Pretty minor issue.
The headliner is in great shape, the Recaros are in excellent shape but there is a small spot on the driver seat that has a cut about one inch long. Yet it is in pretty good shape and not frayed or anything, probably could be stitched or glued. Only noticed it because I'm meticulous when it comes to my cars.
There is a Fuba Antenna is in the rear dash area, because I didn't want to drill a hole in the roof of the car.
Car has a recent tune, oil, lube, filter, new battery, new alternator, recent s-belt change, the Falken tires are decent, brakes are decent, but I would expect brakes and tires with normal wear and tear may need replacement within one year depending on how much you drive.
All-in-all this is comparable to a brand new car.

Seinfeld's Porsches and VWs command $22 million at auction
Mon, Mar 14 2016Jerry Seinfeld sold off parts of his private collection last weekend at the Gooding & Company auction at Amelia Island, and the comedian's prized possessions garnered an impressive $22 million. Seinfeld is a passionate collector of Porsches, and the top lot which Gooding moved from his collection was a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, which sold for $5.35 million – right in the middle of its estimated range. Others inline with their pre-sale estimates included a 1990 962C racer ($1.65 million), a '94 964 Flatnose Turbo ($1 million), a '66 911 ($275,000), and a '64 VW Camper ($99,000). A few lots exceeded expectations, notably a '74 911 Carrera IROC RSR that went for $2.3 million (over an estimate of $1.2-1.5 million), as did a pair of 911 Speedsters from 1989 and 2011 and a 356 Speedster from '57. Jerry's 1960 Volkswagen set a new record for Beetles sold at auction when it went for a top bid of $121,000, well exceeding its estimated $45,000 value. The '73 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, however, sold for $3 million – which might seem like a lot of money until you realize that it was estimated to fetch upwards of $5 million. A '59 718 RSK went for only $2.86 million when it was valued at $4 million. A pair of 356s sold for $825,000 (instead of $1.25 million) and $1.5 million (instead of $2.25 million). A 993 Cup and a '58 Jadgwagen fell below expectations as well. Altogether, CNBC notes that the $22 million brought in by the collection fell well below the $28-32 million it was anticipated to raise. Far be it from us to count someone else's money, but something tells us Seinfeld won't be hurting too much after the sale. This is the guy, after all, who turned down an offer from NBC that would have netted him $5 million per episode for another 22-episode season of the eponymous show that made him famous.

(March 13, 2016) – Gooding & Company, the auction house acclaimed for selling the world's most significant and valuable collector cars with the tradition of presenting some of the greatest collections to ever come to market, realized $60,162,150 in a single day at the company's 2016 Amelia Island Auction.
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
VW lawyers up with firm that defended BP
Wed, Sep 23 2015The string of bad news for Volkswagen shows no sign of slowing yet, especially with the recent resignation of CEO Martin Winterkorn. For aid in its legal defense in the US over its ongoing diesel emissions scandal, the automaker has now employed Kirkland & Ellis LLP, which was the same law firm BP used for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, according to Automotive News. VW is surely hoping that things go easier for it than BP. After the massive oil spill, the company paid $4 billion to settle criminal allegations and another $18.7 billion for the other federal and state claims, Automotive News reports. We'll see. Based on fines for each of the 482,000 diesel vehicles with this evasive software in the US, VW could be on the hook for $18 billion from this lapse. In addition, 11 million units are potentially affected across the globe, and the company is already setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.25 billion) in expected costs. The automaker's stock on the German exchange is being hit hard by this scandal. The original discovery of high pollution levels in VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine began with researchers last summer, and the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board had been working on the problem for months before the EPA issued its notice of violation on September 18. A criminal investigation has now begun. The day before his resignation, Winterkorn issued a video where he apologized profusely for the scandal and promised to make things right.
