First and foremost, I love this car and it has been so much fun building and driving. The one and only reason this car is for sale is because my wife and I are expecting our first child. Soon I will not have much time to enjoy this car and I would feel better with money in the bank than in my garage. This is a one off custom built VW Rat Rod. It gets almost too much attention on the road! The car was built mostly by me and its ready to take anywhere. The car truly needs no mechanical work, everything has already been done. The car is has a clean Texas title and in is my name. The tags are also current and registered to me. I'm looking to just recoup most of the money I have in the car. I knew going into it that this was a labor of love, so I don't expect to get it all back. Here is a list of whats been done.
Body: Top chopped and aggressively dropped. Custom two piece window made for the windshield and wire mesh for the rest. Front beam extended 12 inches to give it that mean look. Motor: Newly rebuilt by Austin Vee Dubs. Its a 1600 dp running single 34 pict and upgraded to alt instead of gen. Has about 500 miles on it and runs strong! Wheels & Brakes: 4 Brand new tires less than 500 miles painted with white wall tire paint. Brakes work great and fronts are upgraded to disk. Lights Horn and Wiring all new: Custom LED signals and old school horn. All lights work and wiring harness is new Mods: Flame thrower kit installed, custom roll back vinyl top, grant short ratio steering wheel, empi short throw bus shifted fitting to real shiner beer tap. To name a few... Rust: Pans have been patched in placed and the rear passenger quarter still needs work. I have the replacement section but it hasn't been installed. It will come with the car. This is truly a bad ass car and I love driving it. The car is pretty quick and can cruse on the freeway with ease. The car is however very light so speeds over 55mph get a little shaky depending on the road. This is very common with all custom VW's like dune buggy's and etc. Its not too bad once you get used to it but the car feels much better cursing around 55mph. I will miss this sweet ride dearly but I'm excited to become a father and that's what I'm focusing on now. Please call with any questions you might have about the build. I've priced it very fair for what it is and whats been done to it but i'll listen to best offers. If you want more pictures or videos just ask.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple 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.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
