Selling my unreal 1967 Squareback. I bought this car 4 years ago sight unseen (due to having the same car in high school 25 years ago) off TheSamba.com and have since invested approximately $22,435,985.75 (or close to that?!) getting it completely road ready, reliable and BEAUTIFUL.

About the car currently:

1967, 12 volt, dual port 1600cc. Engine was rebuilt less than 5,000 miles ago. After the rebuild I added an ISP West OTT exhaust and a restored Bosch 019 distributor from Glenn. I have it tuned up every 6 months even though I drive it maybe twice a month.

It has Granada Red original paint with some patina. Waxing makes it shine shine SHINE, however the paint is 47 years old so the wax does fade quickly :)

All lights, turn signals, interior lights, electrics work correctly (except clock, cmon!)

All new stainless steel chrome trim, new Hella euro flat red rear lenses and off brand clear euro front lenses. Original Hella headlight SB-12's. Original black plate. Custom roof rack (not Pedro) looks great!

All interior was replaced. Front seats bases were repainted gloss black and front and rear seats were re-padded and reupholstered with red smooth vinyl along with all 7 matching door/interior panels. I located complete Z arm rests and had ISP West install everything nice and tight. Carpet is all new charcoal grey with oatmeal binding and includes the rear area and back of rear seat. There is also an ISP West rear cargo rubber mat over the carpet. Rear seat fold down working correctly and all very clean. All four new grey seatbelts. Headliner is correct, clean and white. All gauges were detailed and repainted.

Window rubber and trim were replaced on all windows. Both door regulators and window scrapers were all replaced. Both door seals were replaced. Original 1967 window cranks. Both rear hatch seals and engine lid seal were replaced. Popout windows were rebuilt. Front hood seal replaced. Basically all rubber is new... this car is tight, dry and quiet (comparatively haha).

Car is lowered slightly in front, stock rear height. Wheels are empi 914's with the lip painted gloss black and Wolfsburg center caps. Does not rub at all in front, will rub slightly in back over bumps if you have a full car. Tires are still new. New brakes front and back less than 500 miles ago.

I have a Retrosound stereo mated to a stock Type 3 radio faceplate hooked up to a JBL amp and carpeted Kicker 6x9's in the floor wells. Two ways to plug in your phone/music with an additional memory card slot and USB port. Also have an under dash parcel tray that FITS over the speakers.

The bad:
I have 3 stock wheels that come with it, misplaced the fourth.
Has the late style dash pad, havent found an early one yet.
Speedo cable just broke, easy fix.
Has Empi dual carbs. The shop that was supposed to rebuild my stock carbs 'misplaced' them. They put on these Empi's that I was fully prepared to hate, however they ran fine LOL. Always seemed to be tuned fine and no problems. But you know, Empi.. haha.

Pics are coming, open to possible trades (RV, motorcycle?).

Volkswagen rules out Eos successor

Fri, Jan 16 2015

When Volkswagen introduced the Eos back in 2006, hard-top convertibles were all the rage – in North America, in Europe and around the world. But the trend, billed at the time as the best of both worlds, has long since subsided, leading to VW axing the Eos several months ago. And don't count on it getting a successor at some point down the line, either. At the Detroit Auto Show earlier this week, VW R&D chief Heinz-Jakob Neusser told Autocar that the Eos is down for the count. In fact it is "maybe the first model we take out of the market" in a reversal of the momentum that has seen the German automaker expand its lineup incrementally over the past several years – although the Chrysler-built Routan minivan was also canceled around the same time. The place the Eos occupied in VW's North American lineup is largely being taken by the more charismatic Beetle Convertible, and in Europe and other markets by the Golf Cabriolet that's still based on the previous-generation hatchback. The Eos, however, isn't the only hard-top convertible withdrawn from the market in recent years. Tin-top cabrios like the Lexus IS and SC, Cadillac XLR, Chrysler 200, Pontiac G6 and Volvo C70 have all gone the way of the dodo – as have Euro-market coupe-convertibles versions of models like the Ford Focus, Opel Astra, and Peugeot 207. The arrival of the Buick Cascada just goes to show that soft-roofed convertibles have won out, particularly as far as four-seat cabrios are concerned. The one notable exception where folding hard-tops are still gaining traction is among mid-engined exotic supercars like the Ferrari 458 and McLaren 650S, both of which opted for solid folding roofs instead of fabric ones. We've yet to see, however, which approach Lamborghini will take with the Huracan Spyder or Audi will with the next-generation R8, the predecessors of both of which featured fabric roofs.

VW sets aside $7.3B war chest for diesel scandal fallout

Tue, Sep 22 2015

The crisis enveloping Volkswagen AG, the world's top-selling carmaker, escalated Tuesday as the company issued a profit warning following a stunning admission that some 11 million of its diesel vehicles worldwide were fitted with software at the center of a US emissions scandal. The German company said it was setting aside around 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion) to cover the fallout from the scandal that has tarnished VW's reputation, raised questions over the future of CEO Martin Winterkorn and battered its share price. The reputational damage to Volkswagen is implicit in the market's response. Volkswagen's share price slid a further 16.2 percent Tuesday to a near four-year low of 112 euros. The fall comes on top of Monday's 17 percent decline. The shockwaves from the scandal enveloping Volkswagen were being felt far and wide across the sector as traders wondered who else may get embroiled. Germany's Daimler AG, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, was down 6.5 percent, while BMW AG fell 5.4 percent. France's Renault SA was seven percent lower. The scandal is hugely damaging to a business that relies heavily on a hard-won reputation for quality and trustworthiness. "Brands are all about trust and it takes years and years to develop. But in the space of 24 hours, Volkswagen has gone from one people could trust to one people don't know what to think of," said Nigel Currie, an independent UK-based sponsorship and branding consultant. The trigger to the company's market woes was last Friday's revelation from the US's Environmental Protection Agency that VW rigged nearly half a million cars to defeat US smog tests. The company then admitted that it intentionally installed software programmed to switch engines to a cleaner mode during official emissions testing. The software then switches off again, enabling cars to drive more powerfully on the road while emitting as much as 40 times the legal pollution limit. "We have totally screwed up." - Michael Horn "In my German words: we have totally screwed up," the head of Volkswagen's US division, Michael Horn, told an audience in New York on Monday. In its statement Tuesday, Volkswagen gave more details, admitting that there were "discrepancies" related to vehicles with Type EA 189 engines and involving some 11 million vehicles worldwide. The number of vehicles involved is more than the 10 million or so cars it sold in 2014.

The not-Subaru crossover wagon | 2017 Volkswagen Alltrack First Drive

Fri, Sep 16 2016

Funnily enough, in light of dieselgate, Volkswagen is one of the few brands (along with Volvo and Subaru) to preserve the notion that you don't need a fuel-sucking SUV to meet your life-carrying needs. And, yes, VW's history of addressing off-road desires with all-wheel-drive dates to the mid-1980s with the Quantum Syncro (a.k.a. Passat) and Golf Country – the latter, sadly, never came stateside. The latest offering toward this effort is the 2017 Volkswagen Alltrack. What's an Alltrack? It's a slightly lifted, cladded, and butched-out version of the Golf Sportwagen (yes, formerly known as a Jetta). Not to steal Alltrack's thunder, but starting in 2017 you can also get the standard Sportwagen with 4Motion AWD, which is basically the same running gear for less money. The Alltrack starts at $26,950; the 4Motion Sportwagen starts at $24,930, both with the dual-clutch automatic available at launch. Any discussion of tall wagons brings Subaru immediately to mind, both with the Outback and the Impreza-based Crosstrek. The Volkswagen Alltrack sits between the two in size at 180.2 inches long – 5 more than the Crosstrek and 9.4 inches shorter than the Outback. The 2017 Subaru Outback starts at $25,645, and VW's comparisons focus on the Outback, which is understandable given the similar starting price. A bare-bones Crosstrek starts at $22,245, but quickly gets into Golf price overlap. The Alltrack and the 4Motion Golf Sportwagen are superior daily drivers to the Subaru, whether you're doing an emergency lane change or just trying to merge onto the interstate. Meanwhile, the Crosstrek doesn't have the refinement of the VW. Can we fault Subaru though? It's set a sales record every year in a row since 2010 and is looking at about triple the sales volume of VW's Golf for 2016. So we'll stick to telling you what we think of the Alltrack and let the dealers fight for your dollars. First thing's first. Yes, you can have the Golf Sportwagen and even the Alltrack with a manual six-speed gearbox. The seven-speed DSG automatic is very good, but it's worth noting that any manual gearbox is a rarity these days, especially when we're not talking about a two-seat sports car. You will have to wait until early 2017 for that option, but it also saves you $1,100 off both models. Second, the Alltrack and 4Motion Sportwagens get identical engines. Whether manual or DSG, VW's EA888 turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder is under the hood.
