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 Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
