This would be a great beach cruiser, show car, weekend top-down convertible or even a daily driver.  Since the restoration, it has always been garaged and has never seen rain.   No expense was spared when restoring this vehicle.  The restoration was completed in 2008 at a total cost of over $18000.  Due to a growing family, I've decided to sell our bug for a much, much lower price.  I recently had it tuned up at a local VW shop and they gave it a thumbs up.  All of their customers that came into the shop commented on how good it looked.  This car is fun to drive, always turns heads and makes people smile.  It has been driven less than 2500 miles since the restoration!

The following items were replaced with high quality, new components:
- 1776cc Torquemaster Engine Custom Built by Chico Performance Racing. ($4000 engine; Dyno tested at 93 hp) 
- Custom 2-tone paint job ($4300)
- New floorpans
- New fenders
- New windshield
- New bumpers
- Fully Chromed Wheels ($850) and lug nuts
- Rebuilt Convertible top, including all new quality wood, refinished frame, new pad, vinyl top and headliner
- Repaired and recoated seat frames
- New vinyl seat covers
- Pioneer CD player with and ipod input.  Kickpanel speakers and rear speaker box.
- New pad and carpeting
- Custom gauges (oil pressure, oil temperature, tachometer, alternator)
- New fuel tank and flushed fuel lines
- All new brake system
- New front end bushings
- Custom Grant wood steering wheel
- New chrome window trim
- New chrome exterior components
- New, high quality dashboard and glovebox
- All new weatherstripping
- New tires
- Chrome hood and rear engine lid hinges
- New trunk liner
- Fully functioning heater boxes
- etc, etc, etc....

The CPR Torquemaster engine always starts right up, has nice power and built with the following specs:  C.2. Crankshaft forged DPR 8 dowell, New Case AS41 Opened to 90.5mm and tapered for full flow, German rebuild connecting rods, TM10 Chico performance grind Norris racing lifters, Lightened flywheel, Gene Berg chromoly racing Gland nut, 8mm chromoly head studs, 90.5 Mahale pistons/cylinders with Grant rings, new 043 heads with 35.5 x 32 stainless steel valves and steel push rods, 26mm H.D. oil pump modified for full flow, 35mm dual solex carbs with electric chokes, new alternator, Sachs pressure late with Dankin Racing disk, hideaway muffer,

The only issues I would resolve include readjustment of the front trunk and adjusting the tachometer.  The front trunk has rubbed a small amount of paint off (see picture) and could use a hinge adjustment.  The aftermarket tachometer configuration (DIP) switches need adjustment to display the proper engine speed.  That just involves accessing the back of the tach and moving a few switches.  Otherwise, this car is in excellent shape!

VW XL1 priced at $169,000 in UK, only 30 will be sold there

Wed, Jul 2 2014

Volkswagen has announced the pricing of its XL1 diesel plug-in hybrid for the UK, according to Car magazine. The small, uber-efficient two-seater will start at GBP98,515, or roughly $168,930 at current exchange rates. Additionally, only 30 units of the XL1 will be sold throughout the UK, giving it a rareness appropriate for its lofty price. It's nice to finally be able to stop speculating about the XL1's price. Even as recently as the first XL1 delivery in Germany, we were still mostly in the dark concerning the cost of the slippery VW. But is the price worth it, especially considering that the much sportier BMW i8 can be had for just a bit more (GBP99,895, or $171,460, in the UK)? Car seems to think so, noting that the XL1 is an eco and technology pioneer, and saying that its cost of ownership is "merely the price of progress." Plus, that includes the bragging rights of owning the world's most fuel-efficient car. The XL1's two-cylinder turbo-diesel engine displaces just eight-tenths of a liter and produces 47 horsepower. The internal combustion engine operates alongside a 26-horsepower electric motor powered by a 5.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Despite its 2.64-gallon fuel tank, the XL1 has a maximum driving range of over 700 miles thanks to a 261-mpg rating (based on the European cycle). Unfortunately, we won't be able to do any bladder-busting, nonstop Chicago to DC road trips any time soon, as VW has no plans to bring the XL1 to North America - not that one would relish the experience of dicing it up with America's massive trucks and SUVs. If you want to drive one, you'll have to go to Europe, and you'd better have a very large piggy bank you're prepared to break open.

VW suspends sales in South Korea ahead of government meeting

Mon, Jul 25 2016

Volkswagen and Audi have announced they will suspend sales of 79 different models in South Korea ahead of a meeting with the country's environmental ministry. VW will halt sales starting on July 25, the same day that its officials are to sit down with the South Korean environmental ministry, which will likely punish the German company. The Wall Street Journal reports that Korea's response to the situation will likely come in the form of an outright sales ban on Volkswagen products by revoking certifications on 79 different models based on 34 different vehicle types. Affected models include the VW Golf, Jetta, and Tiguan and the Audi A3 and A6, the WSJ reports. Essentially, it looks like VW is merely trying to get out ahead of the South Korean government. If the revocation goes through, it'd likely lead to fines and a relatively large recall of around 79,000 vehicles, the WSJ reports. Despite the dreary forecast, Volkswagen reaffirmed its commitment to the South Korean market. "This decision doesn't mean that Volkswagen is pulling out of Korea, which is a very important market to us," a Korean rep for the company said in a statement. "We'll reapply for certification of our cars if the government revokes it. The process may take several months." While Volkswagen's diesel emissions testing scandal is part of the problem, South Korea is taking a harder line than a lot of other countries. Authorities indicted a Volkswagen exec on charges of submitting falsified emissions documents and noise tests last week, while separately, Korea's trade watchdog is considering criminal charges against execs, according to the WSJ. Banning VW Group sales in South Korea isn't quite as dramatic as if the company stopped sales in China, the United States, or Germany, but it's still going to sting. VW Group products (including Bentley) represented around a third of European cars imported by South Korea last year.

BMW says its diesels are above board

Fri, Sep 25 2015

BMW got yanked into the riptide of the Volkswagen diesel scandal thanks to a report in Auto Bild, which Auto Bild has now clarified. On Thursday the German magazine said that when the International Council on Clean Transportation tested the X3 xDrive 2.0d, the ICCT discovered the diesel X3's tailpipe emissions exceeded the European limit by more than 1,100 percent. The key detail, though, is that apparently at no time did the ICCT find that BMW cheated on any emissions tests. No one has explained why the X3 diesel had such high emissions and the ICCT wouldn't comment on the Auto Bild report. But the mag has issued a clarification asserting that in spite of the excessive emissions, there is no evidence BMW engaged in regulatory subterfuge. Every other BMW vehicle ICCT tested was within compliance, but the organization's report from October 2014 - that no one paid attention to - found that nitrogen oxide emissions in 15 vehicles it tested averaged seven times the European limit. The brand's stock is still suffering from the taint. It dropped almost ten percent the day the report came out before rallying to close at five percent down. But on Monday BMW stock closed at 84.01 euros, and as of writing on Friday it's still trying to fight its way back above 80 euros. With so many people still just trying to find out how widespread the the issue is, and trust rather low, it's likely BMW won't be the one dragged down, fairly or not. Related Video:
