The vehicle has undergone a restoration/ rebuild where the floor pans were replaced and the three inch body lift composed of 3in square stock of steel was welded in. The front nose of the vehicle was customized with a fiberglass Baja kit where the nose and hood were replaced. All of the fenders are also fiberglass replacements. The rear also has a fiberglass piece on top that acts as an air scoop to pull air to the engine. The interior is stock for the most part. The shifter knob is aftermarket with a pull up style reverse lockout. One problem is that the drivers seat is ripped in the middle, other than that the seats are all original. It does not, however, have any carpet or headliner. The floor and headliner were undercoated. The battery is in the vehicle under the rear seat and it is an optima(yellow top) gel battery. The speedometer is not hooked up, the empi replacement cable is still in the packaging in the rear seat of the vehicle. The wiring has been removed. Also included is a tow bar and the front and rear metal tube steel bumpers. The wheels are chrome, and the front are significantly smaller than the rear. The suspension is torsion in the front and rear, which is the original style of these VWs. The rear has had the torsion springs tightened and notched so the frame does not contact the rear suspension. Also this is the reason the vehicle can clear the 31 10.50 super swamper rear tires. The engine does run, however, it does not run well. The engine seems out of adjustment, I am not familiar with VW adjustment procedures. I installed dual EMPI 44 HPMX carburetors that could be out of adjustment. Another problem with the engine is that it leaks oil as most VW engines do. The vehicle has been garaged for most of the time I have had it. This vehicle is not perfect but allot of money has been invested to get it to this point but I have lost interest and want this vehicle gone. I tried to cover everything but feel free to ask questions.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
