This car was languishing at the back of a body shop I use for my antique car painting. They told me the owner of the VW wanted some work done but could not afford it and it was sitting there for a couple of years. I contacted the owner and bought the car from him. He had it for over 20 years.

I thought my wife would like to drive it as a fun summer car after I fixed it up since she always says they are cute when she sees them, so I put on new tires, new brakes, new control arms and axles and front suspension parts. New timing chain, tune up, complete fluid flush and filter change, new convertible top and seat covers. I was going to get the car dings repaired, the one rust spot ( top of trunk on left side ) and repainted yellow but when my wife saw me working on it, she said she didn't want one, just thought they were cute. Maybe I should have held off showing her until it was repainted.

So.... since I have no use for the car myself, here it is. It starts right up. Runs strong. Does not leak, smoke or have any warning lights on. It needs a good cleaning inside and out. The top and back window are new as of this week and do not leak even during the heavy rains we have had here in S, Florida. You might be able to compound up the faded paint but since it is so hot here I haven't bothered to try it myself.

Photos we have are posted and were taken this week. If you want to see something that does not show up in the pictures, please email. This is a great inexpensive car to work on as you drive and enjoy driving with the top down on nice days,

As this is a used car, is it sold as / is, where / is, with no warranties.

I also have a file with 20 plus years of service records, parts receipts and repair history that goes with the car

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
