I have owned this car for ten years. I got it from a friend of mine you stopped driving due to health reasons. He owned the car for five years prior to me. The car was repainted in driving 1999 with the fenders taken off and new rubber installed. Since I have owned it the car has only been driven in good weather. It was never driven in the rain and put away every year for the winter. Five years ago I asy to work onpulled the engine because of the push rod tubes leaking oil from the seals. the engine was sent to a local machine and checked over to make sure every thing was up to proper specs and any leaking seals and gaskets were replaced. As the engine was being put back together many items were replaced as needed. Items replaced include a new carb, fuel pump, fuel lines, and filter. Also the gas tank was repaired for a small leak and tumbled clean with solvent and media. Many of the engine tins that were bent were replaced with chromed brand new ones. A new clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing were put on before the engine was installed. Also a new starter and battery were installed.

This is a fun easy car! It is fun and easy to drive! People wave to you as you drive by, and everyone has a story to tell about the time they stuffed ten people in one, or put a parked one up on someones lawn. It is easy to park and fits almost anywhere. Its easy on gas having a small engine. Its is easy to get replacement parts as they are available from many sources and still available from V/W dealers, and it is very easy to work on as there are many books and web sites out there dealing with the V/W.

There are some small dings and scratches from driving and attending car shows, but nothing bad. There is some surface rust on the under carriage from being stored in an unheated garage. Look at the pictures and you will see that overall its in good condition.

Don't let this one get away!

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.

Volkswagen drops first teaser of next-gen T6 Transporter

Fri, Mar 20 2015

The history of Volkswagen's line of boxy Transporter vans goes all the way back to 1950, and the early models' shape likely ranks in fame with the Beetle. VW Commercial Vehicles is now teasing the next step in that legacy with this sketch of the new T6. Judging by this shot, VW is sticking with the van's familiar, square shape. Although this sketch makes the front end look a bit more curvaceous and possibly with a shorter overhang than the current T5. Finding out the truth won't take long because the T6 will debut on April 15, and it will go on sale in the UK by the end of the year. These days the US commercial van segment is rapidly expanding with new models filling the market. Autoblog reached out to VW spokesperson Mark Gillies to find out if the latest Transporter might come across the Atlantic. "LCVs are under consideration, but there are no plans" to bring the T6 to the US at this time, Gillies said.

When it made its public debut in 1950, few could have predicted the enormous impact the Transporter would have in revolutionising the commercial vehicle market, creating a timeless automotive icon in the process. Whilst the Transporter has evolved dramatically during that time the philosophy and vision that created the original still holds true. Getting the job done efficiently and reliably has been at the heart of the Volkswagen philosophy for the past 65 years. Its reputation for rugged reliability has endured over the decades to make the Volkswagen Transporter one of the world's best-selling light commercial vehicles. The sixth-generation Transporter will go on sale in the UK later this year. (ends)
