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. Thanks my phone number is 2108578627

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.

A fix and buyback program for Audi V6 diesels may be on the way

Tue, Nov 15 2016

While Volkswagen reached a settlement to buy back 2.0-liter diesel inline-fours with emissions defeat devices, the roughly 80,000 cars with 3.0-liter diesel V6s built by Audi have yet to be addressed. But a new report from Bloomberg indicates that a solution is near. The publication says that sources familiar with the situation say the company has a fix ready for the majority of the cars, and that the EPA and California Air Resources Board are ready to approve it. According to Bloomberg, this fix would involve a software update and would work for about 60,000 of the Audi A8, Q5, Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and VW Touareg models with the engine. The rest of the vehicles won't be fixable without major modification, so those would have to be purchased back from the owners. Bloomberg does point out that approval from the EPA and CARB are only one piece of the puzzle. The publication said that this deal has yet to be approved by owners of the cars and the Federal Trade Commission, both of which may demand that VW offer a buyback to all owners, even those whose cars can be fixed. The good news for owners of VW products with this engine, is that they should have some closure pretty soon. And owners that still like their diesel V6 can take solace that they might actually be able to get them fixed, as opposed to owners of the 2.0-liter diesels. VW offered buybacks to owners of all 475,000 cars with the turbo four-cylinders, or a fix when it's available. However, there have been no signs of an approved fix.
