Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"engine, trans, front end, brake system, rebuilt three years ago, engine from CB Performance. I have single and dual carbs for it. floor pan under battery replaced, badly. the floors have a few years left in them but there are 1/4 inch holes in a few spots on both sides. radio is non-op. both lower door hinges have been replaced. the car was hit on front right before baja conversion, r/f quarter is lumpy but the car aligns perfectly and drives fine. sheetmetal under rear hatch is perforated. crossbars on roof rack are in poor shape. typical vw oil drips. car is Washington registered, you will have to pay tax on it to transfer out of state."
I bought this car 3 years ago as a shell in California, I built it up as a Baja to bring to Puerto Rico. It is in Puerto Rico now. CB Performance provided the 1914 cc engine, I have a set of dual Kadrons for it but took them off looking for gas mileage. it has an alternator, digital ignition(no points to replace!) full breather, oil cooler(not mounted) Being a VW it leaks, but only a tiny amount. the tri-mil exhaust is powdercoated but that is starting to fail, probably have to get it redone if looks are important to you. I'd just leave it rusty or rattle can it with high temp paint once a year.
The swingaxle transmission was rebuilt as well, it had never been opened and still had vw gears and bearings in it. the frontend is link pin and is converted to disk brakes with all new parts. the rear brakes were just rebuilt stock with new parts. tires are in great shape with lots of life left in them, maybe they are 15 percent worn.
The wheels and bars are powdercoated the rest is industrial enamel paint. the fiberglass is actually a vintage, I bought it from a guy in Cali that had it hanging in his barn for decades, hence no cut up fenders- they work great to keep the mud off the car and don't hit anything. lift shocks with springs for height.
The rusty lower door hinges were replaced but I skipped fixing the rear metal bits as seen in the pics. the floors are in pretty good shape and have a few more years in them, but they do have a few holes. I noticed a bubble under the rubber around the rear window- that will need attention soon.
All the electrical works fine, 12 volt converted and relays run all the high load stuff. full guages inside, the speedo is from a 77 or so, it has a light for an egr? but i just wanted a fuel guage that would work with the late model tank, no lifting the hood to fill up. electric fuel pump with kill switch, hidden ignition switch.
The interior has modern seats with covers in the front and vw original with covers in the rear. dynamat on the firewall with covering of blue astroturf, same astroturf on the floors and ceiling. the radio is broken, I think water got it when I was fording a stream. but that doesn't matter, you can't hear a radio in this thing anyway it is so loud. aluminum door skins inside don't quite completely cover. but they are what's available without having custom ones made.
The roof rack has been bent and repaired many times, needs new cross bars but still ready for rough service, I regularly put 200 lbs of kayak on it and go out for the day. the bike rack is super cool and holds two full size cruisers. I've towed 1000 lbs with the hitch.
I cannot count how many times people have almost hit me trying to take a picture of this car. especially when I go to the beach. where I spend many weekends with it. Baja's are rare in Puerto Rico, I've only seen a handful. you are more likely to see a Delorean than another Baja beetle
This has been my only car for three years, I've put 12000 miles on it in that time. Basically it has been a great and loyal friend to me but I have to sell it. I am being re-assigned to Kansas (Military), there is no heater in this car and that means it cannot go with me, I need one car I can drive all year and I don't like freezing. It is in great shape, runs well and looks good. It even won a few local car shows in California before I brought it here. I have all the parts receipts to prove the work I've done. You get everything in the pics with the car, gas tank, cooler, spare, bike rack, carbs, extra parts, awards, receipts, tow bar, two sets of keys and a stack of vw trends magazines.
You will be required to put a 500 dollar deposit down on the car within 24 hours via Paypal and pay for/pick up the car within one week if you are within Puerto Rico.
BUT there is a shipping option!!
I can have the car shipped for free to Kansas City MO. where you can take possession of it, either by you personally or a shipping agency to truck it wherever you are. the car needs a 500 dollar deposit within 24 hours via Paypal and must be completely paid for before it is picked up up if you choose that option. that option will take time, the car will be available after August 19th in Kansas City
I am not going to accept any form of payment other than cash or certified check. for the remainder. no paypal or personal checks for this.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
VW recalling 38k Jettas, Passats, Golfs and Beetles for fuel leak
Wed, Dec 31 2014Earlier we reported on a recall issued for the 2015 VW Jetta regarding a problem with the headlights, and now Volkswagen and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued another recall for a separate issue affecting not only the Jetta, but several other models as well. The issue revolves around a sealing cap in the fuel rail, which could leak fuel into the engine compartment and potentially cause a fire. The problem affects an estimated 37,979 vehicles in the United States, including the 2014-15 Jetta (manufactured between March 28 and November 24, 2014), the 2014-15 Passat (April 7 to November 18), the 2015 Golf and GTI (July 1 to November 20) and the 2014-15 Beetle and Beetle Convertible (March 31 to November 27). That covers pretty much the entire range offered by Volkswagen of America, short of the Tiguan and Touareg crossovers (and the discontinued Eos convertible). Considering, though, that VW routinely sells around 30,000 vehicles in the US each month, the small number of vehicles being recalled (relative to the quantity out there) tells you this recall really only affects a specific cross-section of models. Owners of the affected vehicles can expect to be contacted by their dealers to have the fuel rails replaced. RECALL Subject : Fuel Leaking Into Engine Compartment Report Receipt Date: DEC 22, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V809000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 37,979 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured March 28, 2014, to November 24, 2014, certain 2014-2015 Passat vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to November 18, 2014, certain 2015 Golf and GTI vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to November 20, 2014, and certain 2014-2015 Beetle and Beetle Convertible vehicles manufactured March 31, 2014, to November 27, 2014. A sealing cap at the fuel rail may fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails with new parts, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 24Bi.
