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

Editors' Picks August 2021 | Honda Civic, Mercedes S-Class and more

Thu, Sep 9 2021

This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a couple of redesigned stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Plus, a new crossover that splits the difference between the compact and subcompact class takes home the prize. On top of this, we'll introduce you to a new term: midcompact. We'll be using this to describe those in-between crossovers that are a tad too small to be considered compact, but too large to neatly fit into the subcompact class. For a few examples of these "midcompact" cars, we'll point you to the Ford Bronco Sport, Kia Seltos and VW Seltos. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Genesis G70 2022 Genesis G70 View 26 Photos Quick take: Genesis hits all the right buttons with its G70. It's attractive, fun to drive and can be had for a fair price. Enthusiasts should give it a shot before taking home one of its German competitors. Score: 8 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Lexus IS, Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CT4, Volvo S60 Pros: Sharp handler, stunning exterior looks, strong engines Cons: Average interior, loses manual option, small backseat and trunk From the editors: News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "I was already a big fan of the Genesis G70. It has brilliant handling, and the twin-turbo V6 is a beast. It's even a bargain against the competition. And Genesis just made it look a lot better. I wish they'd done a bit more to update the interior, but it's still not a bad cabin. Besides, you won't think too much about it when you're hustling down a fun back road." Features Editor James Riswick — "Yes, it is small, but in a sport sedan segment where "sport" means increasingly less, the G70 still delivers (in part because of that smallness).

Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.

Recharge Wrap-up: Arcimoto SRK video, BAIC EV at CES

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Kelley Blue Book took a spin in the Arcimoto SRK three-wheeled EV at CES in Las Vegas. In the video above, KBB Managing Editor Micah Muzio gets behind the handlebars for a spin around an empty parking lot. He notes a gradual throttle tip-in, though from the video, it appears the trike has a bit of pep. While the hydraulic brake pedal requires a bit of extra effort, the regenerative brake lever located on the right handlebar is effective and easy to use. The steering is a little heavy, but manageable, at low speeds. He calls it "kind of a fun little conveyance," adding, "Maybe this is the future." See the full review in the video above. CARB Chairman Mary Nichols spoke with German television about Volkswagen's emissions scandal. In a photo she posted on Twitter, Nichols can be seen in front of cameras with CARB's test bay in the background. In the bay is a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. She says in her tweet, "Discussing VW cheating case w/German TV in front of ARB lab test bay & '07 diesel Jetta. Time to move on to #EVs!" Late last year, a group of environmentalists and Silicon Valley leaders – Elon Musk included – sent Nichols an open letter suggesting CARB help urge Volkswagen to give up on diesels and focus on electric vehicles. See Nichols's post on Twitter. South Korea's most popular EV is the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) SM3 ZE (also known as the Renault Fluence ZE). The all-electric vehicle has sold 1,767 units since its arrival in Korea since November 2013, with 2015 sales reaching 1,043 units. This makes one in three EVs in Korea a RSM SM3 ZE. The car has been selected as Korea's official government vehicle, and RSM has supplied over 100 EV taxis, 60 of which are in Seoul. Read more in the press release from Renault. BAIC EV announced it has established an R&D center in Detroit at CES. It will work with its other centers in Silicon Valley and Aachen, Germany in order to develop automotive technology and evaluate global demand. The EV branch of the Chinese automaker also debuted its i-Link information system, which uses 4G to connect car telematics to the cloud. The i-Link system also provides wireless phone charging, remote inquiry services and connects sensing technologies to the internet. Read more in the press release below.
