For the lucky buyer is a beautiful example of a classic VW. Originally an Arizona car. No rust!!! Floorpans are solid, body is straight. Ok, for the good, New mirrors, antenna, sunvisors, headliner carpet, front door panels, windshield seal and rear 1/4 window seals. Existing good stuff, tires and brakes are good, paint is 14 yrs old and still looks fantastic! Bumpers are good. Wheelwells are good. Runs good, shifts well. This was originally a fuel injected engine, as most of you may know, replacement parts for fuel injection of this age is hard to come by and pricey. You are in luck, my friend! This car has a single, easy to adjust, Weber carburetor. Gives it a little more horsepower and cheap to fix! (Weber rebuild kit is about $20-30) Now the not-so-good, No radio, add your sound sytem, hard part of running the antenna wire is done. No heat, The notorious heater boxes on the engines exhaust rusted through and was replaced with plain pipes.(You weren't really going to drive this in the winter anyway, were you?) I use a small ceramic 12v heater in my other squareback just to take out the chill on cool cruise nights. Very small bubbling under the paint on the right front fender between the door and fuel door opening, about 1 1/2 inch in size. I also have a small jar of the paint used with the mix formula on it. I wish I could keep this one for my daughter, but bills gotta come first. Check out samba.com, This is the nicest squareback for the price that hasn't been restored. Thank you.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
Volkswagen tipped to launch turbocharged Up! with 100 hp
Tue, Jan 6 2015Overseas customers enticed by the compact dimensions of the Volkswagen Up! but turned off by its diminutive 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine may be encouraged by reports that the German automaker is planning a more potent turbo version. Previewed by the GT Up! concept showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (pictured above), the more performance-oriented model is expected to pack the turbo three from the larger Polo, where it produces 100 horsepower channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. That may not seem like much, but it would put the existing 59- and 74-horsepower versions of the German city car to shame. That might not give it enough punch to keep pace with the upcoming Smart Fortwo Brabus (and its Renaultsport Twingo counterpart), tipped to pack as much as 130 hp, but it could stand to out-perform the existing 89-hp turbo models of both. Given that the reports are emanating from Brazil, however, it is possible that the Up! Turbo (or whatever it's ultimately called) would be limited to the South American market, if it's built at all. One thing's for sure, though: it's not likely to make it to North American showrooms anytime soon.
Translogic 168: CES 2015 Roundup
Wed, Jan 14 2015Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.
