Here's my baby and she's for sale.
I just don't have the time to take care of her anymore and I'd rather see her go to someone that can take the time to enjoy her more than I can.
Don't like the price? Feel free to make me an offer, the worst thing that can happen is I say no (and depending on how low the offer is it may make me sad too but oh well right!)
Here are some details for now, I may add more later as I remember them, if you have ANY questions or want more pictures PLEASE do not hesitate to ask!

* Just built 2017cc engine built by the Great Paul Ripa of JBBugs (www.jbbugs.com) he knows his stuff, been around forever and a half, and also road races his own car.
Engine still has under 150 miles on it.
Here are some details of the engine:
- CB Supercase AS41 90.5mm fully flowed Magnesium case (yes, the discontinued ones that everyone and their Mother wants)
- Eagle racing 2288 camshaft
- 78.4mm CB Forged 4340 Chromoly counterweighted crank (8 dowelled, balanced)
- CB Uni-tech HD Plus I-beam rods with HD bolts
- 90.5mm AA pistons and cylinders
- Mini D port heads that Pat Downs from CB Performance set up for me. He did a 2 angle valve job, 4 angle valve seat job, new valve guides, new valves, new retainers, installed and set the new VW650 springs and fly cut them to 58cc (which gives me 8.6:1 compression with a 0.050" deck height).
- Custom made head studs, Chromoly 4140, 8mm threads, 9mm shaft
- 12.5 lbs flywheel
- DRD Racing Chromoly racing Gland nut
- CB breather tower
- Weber 44 IDF carbs
- CB hex bar linkage
- 51 amp alternator
- German valve covers
- Gene Berg 1.5qt deep sump

- 8mm Spiro-Pro plug wire set
- JayCee mag oil sump plate
- Gene Berg 6lb Equalizer pulley
- Mallory Unilite distributor
- Magnum straight cut gears
- CB 1.3:1 rocker arms and solid shaft

Engine is in the car and runs and drives, however it still needs to be tuned right. Right now I think it's too rich on the bottom end (idle jets) I'm using 60 idles, 160 mains, 200 air and 50 pump jets with F11 emulsion tubes and 36mm venturis. The car bogs down a little when warm and below ~3500 RPM at part throttle. I have the timing set at about 30 degrees max advance with grey/grey springs. Running BP6ES spark plugs.

* New matching tires (Yokohama Avid Envigor, 175/65/15 front 205/60/15 rear)

There's obviously more I just can't think of it right now.
I also have a bunch of spare parts, door panels, two German doors, German decklid, suspension parts etc etc all those parts are also included in the sale.

The paint is not in the best shape, there are cracks and dings here and there, but it's a presentable car and turns heads everywhere I drive it (just drove it today and got tons of thumbs up).

I will also include (IF you want them) all the trophies the car has received for the last 14 years I have owned it, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies at several shows across California (it's a California car I brought along with me to Florida when I moved here) and Florida shows.

I also have a tow bar I will include if you need it.

I also have a box of receipts and paperwork since around 2000, and a logbook/journal that I kept for the car.
Mileage is not actual.

Here's a video I made a couple of weeks ago (I know the oil cap is off, I had just changed the oil and was doing the first start after the oil change):

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio

Fri, Sep 30 2016

Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.

Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche. Read more in the press release below. Terra Motors is unveiling the A4000i electric scooter, which it will sell in Europe, at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
