 Purchased in Arizona a couple years back for a restoration project this bug is in great condition. The rear fenders were replaced by the past owner and there in no body ( holes), just slight surface rust on the front. I found a small area behind the drivers seat / chassis that has a 4" long rust area, but outside of that it is an outstanding find! Thanks to the western climate which is so kind to our fine automobiles.
The engine is a stock 1200 cc 6 volt system, and looks to be complete, no accessories or modifications, even the stock air box. It runs good and is strong and I drove the car back and fourth to work for a few months this past year. The engine leaks a little from the bottom, but since my intentions were a total original restore I was going to rebuild it anyway. The transmission shifts good but "pops" out of reverse, so you have to hold the stick while in reverse, this would need to be repaired. It has only a drivers seat but I had just purchased (2) used 1968 high back seats to replace the original low back that I do not like anyway.

The dash board and steering wheel is original and in great shape, also untouched by modifiers, It seems that this car was kept and driven by an adult with respect to the pure VW era. I have the original fenders which I took off to have re-chromed but did not do so. The mag rims are a cool feature and made in the USA?, wide-5 original bolt pattern. The car can be a daily driver as is, needs to have brakes checked and adjusted, I have not done so. the tires are in good shape and have a few miles left on them.

I am only selling this because I have to move and our new location will not permit me to keep all of my projects. Any questions can be emailed to me or I can be contacted Monday - friday 9:30-5:30 Est. at 863 699-1231, ask for Tony Sr.

I have restored many VW's in my live, and I can tell you this with 100% accuracy, this is one of the best condition VW's in it's original form and perfect for a show restore project. They are far and few between in this condition these days.

 There is a statement where I mistakenly stated " took the fenders off", when in fact I meant "Took the Bumpers off".

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
