This was my car as a teen. 6 years ago I decided it was time to restore. A very accomplished guy in my area put brand new floorpans, (high quality) Did some suspension work and then I sent it to another state for restore. The guy started out doing a great job. bodywork, replacement parts and wheels and tires, disk brakes all around and primed and painted.
My local guy built a 1776 motor with dual carbs and I shippped motor to restore guy to put in car. I finally picked car up and restore guy said motor was having some issues (normal) so i took it back to local guy to go over it. I picked it a couple months later and the molding was falling off and a small amount of rust was developing on rear pillar. I then got to looking and noticed restore guy decioded to get a little cheap on me and skimp on parts. I decided to redo the interior that was shoddy and forget about it. I cranked car on regular basis to keep it up while I worked on interior. One day the belt slung off while i was cranking it and I got busy at work and just lost interest. The motor was running when this happened and that was 1 year ago, the car has been sitting there and now it has to go
THE GOOD: All in all the body is tight when you close doors. great glass in it, headliner appears to be fine, good paint on inside, speedo is set back to 0 but has 3 miles on it when I did take it round the block. tires and rims are good all lights worked and speedo worked and lit up. Car fired right up. Motor would scoot, all new wiring harnesses
THE UGLY: Interior needs to be done, inside doors needs to be redone as the were not in the first place (restore dude sucks) small rust on back pillar see pics, Engine needs belt if it needs anything else I do not know I'm not a mechanic. Window cranks need reworking. It needs a hood and hardware for it. i have the seats but they need to be redone and they are not releasing like they should, All runer around rear truck is gone
I'm tired of seeing this car sit there and not be with someone that can bring it back to life. It's just not going to happen with me. If your near me I can deliver for a fee. other than that you are responsible for pickup or delivery
NO RESERVE

VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
