BEAUTIFUL VW Rabbit Turbo Diesel.


Car began life as a non-turbo diesel 4 speed.  About 2 years ago, the engine was swapped with a turbo-diesel and 5 speed transmission.  At that time, an intercooler from a Saab was added with custom aluminum piping.  Anyone who knows these little diesels knows they were not big on power.  With the 4 speed transmission, highway cruising speeds (70-75) were not all that comfy - especially when going up a lengthy hill.  But not with this car.  The turbo spools up and away you go - no downshifting necessary.  This is a wonderful setup and the car still retains 40+ mpg.

Other modifications:

Cross bracing for the shock towers
Anti-sway bars
Polyurethane bushings
Adjustable lowering springs on all four corners.  (Currently lowered 1.5" but can be raised easily - tool included)
Techtonics stainless exhaust (sounds awesome)
Saab Intercooler
Recent Bosch Glow plugs
Rebuilt Injector pump
TACHOMETER
Snowflake wheels
R134a Air Conditioning Conversion
Thule Luggage Rack (with every attachment available in the 80's)
Lip spoiler on the front.
Kenwood HD radio tuner
Paint about a year old.
Windshield about a year old.
Removable tow bar.  I've never used it.  I installed it to tow the car to South Florida but changed my mind.  I will remove it if you do not want it.
Vintage Hella Fog lamps

The body was near flawless and ZERO RUST ANYWHERE before the re-paint.  I have before pictures available.  The paint had become "thin" and buffed through to the primer in a few places.  So I had a reputable local shop spray a base coat/clear coat Dupont paint, wet sand and buff to a beautiful finish ($1,700).  It is nicer than original.  This is no Maaco paint job.

Original interior has no rips or tears.  There is one small spot on the carpet in the left rear but other than that the carpet is perfect.  The dash has no cracks.  

This has been a Georgia Vehicle its entire life.  I have many of the records from the original owner.  It has been well-maintained and cared for its entire life.

This is really a wonderful car that I would drive anywhere.  I travel between two cities.  This car sits for two weeks at a time in a garage and it starts every time no matter how cold it is.

It would be difficult for you to find a nicer Mk 1 Diesel anywhere.  It really is that nice.

I am only selling it because I cannot tow my boat with it.  I need a tow vehicle in Atlanta.  

Your winning bid is a binding contract to buy.  $500 deposit due within 48 hours.  Balance paid on pickup.  Because of my travel, vehicle must be picked up and paid for between Friday February 22nd and Tuesday February 26th.  Please make sure this is acceptable prior to placing a bid. 

Georgia does not require titles for vehicles before 1986.  Therefore, this vehicle is sold with a Bill of Sale and a copy of the tag registration in my name.

Check my feedback - bid with confidence.  Please don't wait to the last minute to start asking questions.  You might be too late.

Bidders with Zero Feedback will not be accepted.  Bidders must be at least 18 years of age.

Volkswagen Golf R Variant ready to haul ass, stuff

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Volkswagen seems to be playing a cruel trick on the American automotive public at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It's displaying its sexy Golf R Variant with no clear intention of actually selling the model here. The hot wagon launches in Europe in the spring, but the automaker makes absolutely no mention of the model's prospects in the US. Hopefully, its appearance in LA at least indicates VW is considering bringing it stateside. The great thing about this wagon is that it has everything that the regular Golf R offers, but there's even more room to carry stuff. The same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 296 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel drive. Performance is very close, too, with the Variant R taking 5.1 seconds to get to 62 miles per hour versus the 4.9 seconds the standard R needs to read 60 mph. The two of them also have the same tech goodies like ESC Sport stability control and multiple damping modes. The real advantage to opting for the estate is its ability to carry up to 57.2 cubic feet of cargo in the back. This hot rod wagon would seem to be perfect for the family that needs to haul some extra junk in the trunk, but doesn't want to sacrifice performance. Whether the Variant R makes it to the US remains a mystery, though. Scroll down to read the specs and feel a twinge of jealousy.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini

Mon, Dec 7 2015

If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.
