This car is a PARTY on Wheels
Im kind of know for building some crazy looking motorcycles and selling them, the last bike I sold I took in a 1966 Volkswagen Bug in on trade. So I wanted to transform into the old school Tijuana Taxi. When I got the car it ran good at sometime someone has put in a newer 1600cc VW motor with dual carbs, it starts right up and runs fine. Like most bugs it does leak some oil and after stopping on a long drive it will smoke a bit. The car have been lowered with drop spindles. New tires have just been installed and have less then 10 miles on them. It starts right up every single time and drives out pretty good for what it is. Like a bunch of these older beetle the floor boards are very weak and have several holes in them. The battery was almost to fall through. I didn't address much of the rust factor, it's still has holes but I wanted to make it at least safe. I did fab up a new battery box and the seat it felt like you were going to fall through, so I welded a thick plate from the door jambs to the trans tunnel and then mounted the new office chair seats. The rest of the interior was pretty trashed so I built all new panels and covered them in a Mexican fabric.
Outside I wanted the patina look so I painted the whole car in flat mocha brown and then sanded through exposing all the color underneath, then hand painted the door logo's
We had a bug car show in town this weekend and the Tijuana Taxi was a huge hit, I think it had more people around it than any other car at the show. It was a blast watching and listing to people commits, nobody could walk past it with out stopping and everyone wanted to take a picture of it. I brought along a Sombrero and let them wear it while taking pictures.
I have only had this car three weeks, my goal was to make it cool and send it down the road. I don't have the title back from the state yet but it will have a clean and clear title and I should have it back soon.
Driving down the road you get thumbs up all the time, I've even been pulled over several times with people wanting to take there picture beside it.
I've only owned this car 3 weeks and haven't driven it much my longest trip has only been 30 miles, I would not think this car would be a good daily driver, but it's perfect for car shows, parades or any other events. It has a amazing look and you will get tons of complements. I had a amazing time at our 3 day car show seeing all the smiles I but on peoples faces.
You will get all kind of attention driving this car, so if your on the FBI Wanted list don't buy this car, if you don't like attention DONT BUY THIS CAR. But if you enjoy seeing everyone smile this might be the right car for you.
For a living I sell cars on ebay for a couple of dealerships here in town, and I set up shipping every single day. So I can help you arrange shipping. I would not suggest a cross country trip until you get the car checked out a bit more.
I hope everyone loves my latest creation, it makes me smile every time I look at it. I think the car should sell for over $5000.00 but I will let you the bidder tell me what it's worth. This auction will be no reserve and I will start it at just one penny and it will sell to the highest bidder. Put I will not tolerate slow payment, I expect a $500 paypal within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days, it you cant do this don't bid.
Call or Text me Devin at 620-664-3011 with any questions.
Good Luck winning this auction and I hope you enjoy the Tijuana Taxi

Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Alltrack coming to US in 2016 [w/video]
Wed, Apr 1 2015As many versions of the Golf that Volkswagen offers in America, there are even more available overseas. But if the Alltrack was one that you wished would make the transatlantic voyage to US showrooms, we've got good news for you, because VW has confirmed its bringing the Golf SportWagen Alltrack to America. Revealed last year at the Paris Auto Show, the Golf SportWagen Alltrack is VW's answer to a Volvo Cross Country or Subaru Outback. It starts with the Golf SportWagen, which already offers more space than a standard Golf hatch, but adds to it a higher ride height, lower body cladding, a new front bumper and upgraded cabin space. It also crucially gets 4Motion all-wheel drive, something which was previously available only on the top-of-the-line Golf R. The Haldex 5-based system sends power to the front wheels under normal conditions, but can divert up to 50 percent to the back in slippery situations. VW has yet to confirm just which engine and transmission combinations will be offered in the US-spec Alltrack, but it's offered overseas in four flavors: a gasoline-burning turbo four with 178 horsepower and a trio of diesels ranging in output from 109 hp to 182. The US-spec Golf hatch is offered with either a turbo four or a mid-range TDI before getting into the GTI, Golf R and e-Golf alternatives. The German automaker hasn't confirmed exactly when the first examples are set to hit US showrooms, but they're slated for sometime next year. VOLKSWAGEN AT THE 2015 NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW - Four Beetle Special Edition concepts introduced: Beetle Convertible Denim, Beetle R-Line, Beetle Convertible Surfer, and Beetle Pink Color Edition - All-wheel-drive Golf SportWagen Alltrack announced for production in 2016 - Volkswagen celebrates 60 years of Beetle heritage New York, New York - Volkswagen of America, Inc., today announced that it will produce the all-wheel-drive Golf SportWagen Alltrack for the U.S. market beginning in 2016, and showed four unique Beetle and Beetle Convertible models that help to commemorate Volkswagen of America's 60th anniversary. Golf SportWagen Alltrack Coinciding with the arrival of the all-new Golf SportWagen, currently available in dealer showrooms, Volkswagen is pleased to announce that the all-wheel-drive Alltrack model will go on sale in 2016 as a 2017 model.

Volkswagen is not cool with a Fiat Chrysler merger
Wed, Mar 8 2017Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller shot down Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne's overtures for a merger in blunt fashion this week. Mueller told Reuters at the Geneva Motor Show, "We are not ready for talks about anything ... we have other problems. I haven't seen Marchionne for months." The unusually candid – and icy – response from one chief executive to another comes after Marchionne similarly pursued General Motors (again) this week. The FCA boss suggested GM might be looking for a new European partner as it prepares to unload its troubled Opel and Vauxhall divisions to PSA. A GM spokesman told USA Today that the company is not interested. Marchionne has been openly suggesting a GM merger since at least 2015, despite GM never reciprocating interest. VW's "other problems," as Mueller notes, include legal proceedings, fines, recalls, and other issues related to its long-running diesel scandal. Marchionne has long sought industry consolidation, arguing that automakers don't get a proper return on their investments in technologies, some of which are relatively similar. He's suggested sharing chassis and powertrain components could be a benefit to the collective auto sector. Skeptics argue FCA, which is smaller than GM, VW, Toyota, and others, needs a partner to survive, while its rivals already have the necessary scale to remain competitive. Related Video:
