Up for sale is a 1972 Volkswagen Type 3 (III) Squareback. This car is super clean and drives as a California cruiser should!
History: The car recently came to Atlanta, Georgia from California. The car is absolutely RUST FREE and the body is super straight. All receipts of the car from the past 3 owners are included and list extensive history which dates back to 1988. Body: The car was recently painted on the exterior (pictures to prove) with original Belgium Beige and a Standox Clear Coat. The Standox clear coat comes with a 30 year no fade warranty (from a renowned paint shop in Georgia, D&I Body Shop). Unfortunately, there is 1 dime size chip under the passenger pop out window and small scratch near the passenger window, however only visible to the super OCD. However, willing to get the car touched up. The floor pans and the rest of the body show that the car has been in a very dry environment for its entire life. New: All new glass seals, chrome, paint job, rebuilt transmission. The Good : the entire interior is super clean and nearly new. The seats are easy to adjust, the panels are in great condition, and the car handles as it shouldThis cruiser is completely stock - aside from the fuel injection engine being converted to Dual Carbs. It gives the extra power which allows you to shift up while driving up hill and comfortably drive 80 mph on the highway (the speedometer actually read 90!!! but def 10 mph off). Additionally, the VW drove from Atlanta,GA to Chattanooga,TN for the Bug-a-Puluza show and had no issues and handled the highway great. The Bad: I haven't had a chance to mess with the lights, but the turning signals don't work, although they light up when the lights are on. The odometer doesn't work, but the rest of the gauges work fine. Willing to answer any additional questions or email any additional photos upon request. Don't let such a rust free and straight Squareback like this pass you by. There is no headache left with this volkswagen, just pure fun! |

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.
VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
