This VW has a history and story!

Originally used by a Fire Chief in Germany until 2004 then it was shipped to the US

It has original sirens on the front of the car as well as Flags that were used by the Fire Chief, (please see photos)

The sirens are not hooked up and the original Fire Chief radio equipment has been removed prior to shipping it to the US.

I am the 3rd owner since it came to the US.

The Odometer is in KM and reads 34589 (approx 21,492 miles) The Odometer stopped working approximately 500 miles ago.  The Speedometer works fine, but the Odometer doesn't.

The vehicle is original including top and side curtins.  I have had the window in the top replaced, one of the side curtins needs the window replaced.  I have never driven it with the top up or side curtains on, so I didnt replace the window in the side curtin.

When i got the car it had its original tires!

The car runs and drives perfectly! it is a great original un-restored original

With that being said, it is not in perfect or show condition.  There are dents in the hood, and one place on the front right fender that the paint is bubbling.  I do have all four doors even though they are not pictured.

This car is German made not the Mexican import, It does have a current, clear, Indiana Title.

I very much enjoy the VW but need to sell some toys. 

The car is for sale locally also, Seller reserves the right to end the auction early

Please see the photos, I have tried to show the car as accurately as possible.

I do also have new (from The Thing Shop) top tie down straps. but i have not put them on yet.

VW readying two-row CUV concept for Detroit

Wed, Dec 10 2014

We're likely getting yet another glimpse of Volkswagen's future crossover at the upcoming 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January. According to Automotive News, two anonymous sources within the automaker indicate a CUV concept will be shown there. The concept is said to be a five-passenger preview of the brand's future seven-seat model. Previous versions of the crossover have carried the name CrossBlue (pictured above), but there was no indication whether or not that would continue. The original three-row concept debuted at the 2013 auto show in Detroit, and VW followed it up with the CrossBlue Coupe Concept in Shanghai later that year. In early 2014, the company announced the CUV would go into production sometime in 2016, along with plans to invest $7 billion in North America over the next five years. During the summer, the automaker made things even more official when it declared plans to invest $900 million to build a 538,000-square-foot expansion into its Chattanooga, TN, factory to assemble the new model. Production of the crossover was slated to begin by the end of 2016, at the time. According to Automotive News, even more changes in VW's CUV lineup are on the way. The Tiguan is reportedly getting an update next year that could be joined by coupe and long-wheelbase variants, as well.
