I helped a friend of mine buy this car about a year and a half ago. He had owned one back in the 60's. He bought the car out of nostalgia. Unfortunately for him, due to health issues (Parkinson's) he just can not drive it. The car sits in my garage and I drive it once or twice a month. We bought the car down in Tampa Fl. The previous owner had owned it for around 14 years. He did the restoration work. It has been garage kept.

The floor pans were repaired with sheet metal and not replaced. There is no rust in the car that I can find and if there is it would be very minor. The rockers are in good shape, the nose was never hit. The body is in good condition. The paint job was done well, but it is not perfect. Everyone has their own idea as to condition on a scale. I would say it is a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. It takes a lot to hit a 10 for me. There is no Bondo that I could find, however there was fairing filler used. Not a show car or trailer queen, just a nice driver. It runs, drives and stops well. It does need the carbs adjusted again, dead cold starts take a bit of pumping. It has plenty of power, around 90hp.

The transmission was replaced right before we picked it up. It shifts well, with some clutch shudder from time to time. The oil cooler is a type4 and was resealed last year. As were the push rod tubes and steering box. The steering box is a re-man and there is no play. Front disc and rear brakes are in good shape. We do have a small oil leak somewhere, not sure if the engine needs to be dropped and resealed or we missed something. I have not taken the time to dig deeper.

It has air conditioning, Japanese compressor. Most folks don't want it but my friend did. It does not have heat, it will need cables and tubes/boxes at the least. The previous owner living in Fl. did not want it. The interior is in good shape, the radio does not work. The windshield wiper motor works but it has linkage problems. The windshield and seal were new, two years ago. The cloth top is in nice shape inside and out, but does need repair at the top of the back window.

All in all it is a very good looking, good driving car that does need some attention.

I will e-mail additional photo's if interested.

Thanks!

VW lawyers up with firm that defended BP

Wed, Sep 23 2015

The 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.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, Jul 23 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once – especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015. The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well. For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan Â– both long rumored to be on their way out Â– will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment. Meanwhile the Routan, which hasn't actually been built in over a year, is finally dead, as VW confirms it has dropped the Chrysler-built minivan from its lineup for 2015 altogether. The German automaker has also confirmed that the Touareg is getting a facelift early in the new year, which we expect will closely follow the revisions revealed a few months ago ahead of the Beijing Motor Show. Finally VW has announced an upgrade to its 2.0-liter TDI. Fitted to the Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle, the updated diesel gets 10 more horsepower with output now up to 150 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque. Scope out the full list of announcements in the press release below. MODEL YEAR 2015: NEW GOLF FAMILY, REDESIGNED JETTA, AND NEW TDIÂ® CLEAN DIESEL ENGINE HEAD THE CHANGES Jul 22, 2014 In a busy year, Volkswagen will also add a new Golf SportWagen, an all-new Golf R, a redesigned Touareg SUV, and the company's first U.S.-market EV, the e-Golf - All-new Golf is bigger, lighter, and more fuel-efficient than the previous model, seats five, and has a larger trunk than any midsize sedan - New Golf GTI has 210-horsepower engine, with improved fuel efficiency and performance - e-Golf is Volkswagen's first full Battery Electric Vehicle for sale in the U.S.

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696

Fri, Sep 17 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
