Condition: Used: A 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. ...

The vehicle has undergone a restoration/ rebuild where the floor pans were replaced and the three inch body lift composed of 3in square stock of steel was welded in. The front nose of the vehicle was customized with a fiberglass Baja kit where the nose and hood were replaced. All of the fenders are also fiberglass replacements. The rear also has a fiberglass piece on top that acts as an air scoop to pull air to the engine. The interior is stock for the most part. The shifter knob is aftermarket with a pull up style reverse lockout. One problem is that the drivers seat is ripped in the middle, other than that the seats are all original. It does not, however, have any carpet or headliner. The floor and headliner were undercoated. The battery is in the vehicle under the rear seat and it is an optima(yellow top) gel battery. The speedometer is not hooked up, the empi replacement cable is still in the packaging in the rear seat of the vehicle. The wiring has been removed. Also included is a tow bar and the front and rear metal tube steel bumpers. The wheels are chrome, and the front are significantly smaller than the rear. The suspension is torsion in the front and rear, which is the original style of these VWs. The rear has had the torsion springs tightened and notched so the frame does not contact the rear suspension. Also this is the reason the vehicle can clear the 31 10.50 super swamper rear tires. The engine does run, however, it does not run well. The engine seems out of adjustment, I am not familiar with VW adjustment procedures. I installed dual EMPI 44 HPMX carburetors that could be out of adjustment. Another problem with the engine is that it leaks oil as most VW engines do. The vehicle has been garaged for most of the time I have had it. This vehicle is not perfect but allot of money has been invested to get it to this point but I have lost interest and want this vehicle gone. I tried to cover everything but feel free to ask questions.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It 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.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
