1972 VW Squareback.
For the good: Car was restored in 2000. New shocks and lots of mechanicals were replaced at same time like rotors, calipers, steering box, shocks, etc. Body was stripped to bare metal and received new outer lower rockers, POR'ed, and repainted in original single stage. There are some chips and a few scratches, but probably nothing that can't be polished out since it's single stage. All new rubber was installed as well as a a new headliner and new carpet. Transmission was rebuilt and used engine was put in after previous engine failed. We had it fitted with dual weber carbs. Generator was just replaced recently, as the original died from running the gas heat all the time. Tires were replaced less than 500 miles ago as well. Car is fitted with a sony cd changer, but with original radio and upgraded single center speaker. All vinyl is otherwise original and in excellent condition. VDO guages for oil temp, pressure, and cylinder head temp are all functional. For the bad: I'm taking this to the extreme - I don't want anyone to be unhappy. It's a great driver and with a little work, can be a show car. Car suffered from being driven lots and also from being stored outdoors for many years seeing rain and snow. Car has some rust in the front tire wells down where the pan meets the body. Pan also had some rust holes in the rear battery area so has some so-so repairs there. No spare tire or spare tire well. Gas heat pump sometimes doesn't want to run from lack of use. Takes a bit of priming to get it to work. Bumper and bumper overriders have some corrosion - bumpers were re-chromed and NOS overriders installed, but they did not age well. Engine leaks oil - we will have it serviced prior to pickup with fresh oil. Wiring is functional, but not pretty. Air intake grills on rear fenders have some bubbling and probably need refinishing at some point. No rear seat belts. Odometer does not work. Lots of upgrades: Factory clock delete Factory coco mats (a little UV fading) Factory rear mud flaps Factory parcel tray Factory gas heater NOS dash (now starting to crack a little) NOS gas cap flap rubber NOS driver's side VW blind spot mirror Nardi steering wheel (cannot tell if this is repro or original - it is very nice quality regardless) Original EMPI wheels European tail lenses Used rare/vintage Hella driving lights - make sure you see everything at night! Similar to those used on Porsche 356s. CB performance rear disc brake conversion Electric fuel pump I used to drive this car all the time, it just hasn't been drive in the last two years much, so time to sell.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
Audi A3 diesel fails independent emissions test in Europe
Thu, Dec 15 2016The best-selling model under Volkswagen's Audi division was emitted about double the legal limits of nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels for Europe, Reuters says, citing laboratory tests overseen by the European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) in August. The Audi A3 was found in two tests to emit about double the legal limit of NOx, though one of the tests had the A3 within the limits when the engine was cold. An Audi spokesman told Reuters that the A3 was independently tested to have emissions levels within the legal limit and that he wasn't aware of the JRC test results. Still, the findings are another example of how Volkswagen, Europe's largest automaker, can not seem to shed the issues surrounding the diesel-emissions scandal that broke last September. VW has been fined about $19 billion for equipping diesel cars with software that cheats emissions-testing systems. About 11 million cars were affected, including about a half-million vehicles in the US. In addition reaching a $15 billion settlement with US regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) earlier this year, VW has been fined $15 million by the South Korean government, which may impose more penalties because of allegations of false advertising. Audi is not the only VW unit to face further scrutiny. Germany's Transport Ministry and Federal Motor Transport Authority are taking a closer look at VW's Porsche division for potential emissions-cheating efforts, Bloomberg News recently reported. Additionally, the European Union is saying that at least seven of its member nations failed to provide sufficient oversight of automobiles' emissions-testing process, and may take legal action against Germany, Spain, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Greece, and Great Britain, according to a separate Reuters article.

Next VW Camper van concept to be electric
Sun, Apr 5 2015The next-generation Volkswagen Transporter workhorse van (teased above) debuts on April 15, but VW is also working on a more retro-inspired van concept that would be motivated by electric power. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen development boss on the automotive giant's board of management, described the upcoming Camper concept to Autocar at the New York Auto Show. On the outside, the model would feature a wide D-pillar, boxy design and small front overhang to maintain a classic look. "The distance from the A-pillar to the front end must be very short," he said to Autocar. For power, an electric motor would spin the front axle, and the batteries would be located under the floor. Dr. Neusser was clear that the electric van was just a concept but didn't say when it might debut. He also didn't indicate if the vehicle shared a platform with the new T6 or some over model in the company's lineup. VW has been toying with building a retro-style van for over a decade. In 2001, it showed the Microbus concept, and a decade later there was the Bulli. Neither of them ever actually saw production.
