1994 Volkswagen Jetta Gl Sedan 4-door 2.0l Track Car - Not A Street Car on 2040-cars

US $1,000.00
Year:1994 Mileage:207787
Location:

Springfield, Illinois, United States

Springfield, Illinois, United States

This is a track car.  Don't buy this to drive on the street.

Here's a 1994 VW Jetta, 5 speed stick, crank windows, no sunroof.  We removed the trunk stuff, back seat, radio, A/C coil, wipers, and got her down to 2400 lbs with a half tank of gas.  This car will run with Miatas all day, and get 20 MPG doing it.

Motor - basically unmodified 2.0 four, did a light polish and gasket match on the intake, and a tuneup.  Uses no oil, pulls willingly to the redline.  Removed the factory airbox and installed a no-name oil media air filter.

Suspension - no-name ebay coilovers.  About 2 inches clearance up front, adjustable from slammed to 3 inches.  2 degrees negative camber, comes with factory strut bolts and Moog cam bolts so you can dial in whatever camber you want.

Brakes - stock, no ABS.  You're on your own.

Wheels - comes with one set of 15 inch, 4x100, 205-50 Kumho Excta XS tires, and one set of factory 14 inch steelies with no-names good for tow dolly use.

Body - she's a midwestern girl.  Expect some rust.  Nothing structural, but the rust is through one seam in the trunk - see picture.

This car went to the $2013 Challenge and held it's own.  Then, she did several HPDE events this year.  It's a barrel of monkeys, and likes to lift it's inside rear wheel to say "piss on you" to whoever I just passed.  So - this car would make you a great HPDE starter car, or throw in a cage and go LeMonsing or Chumping.  Heck, the horn works, so take her down to the county fairgrounds and run the hornets.  Just don't buy this to drive on the street.

Terms - $500 Paypal deposit in 48 hours, balance cash on pickup.  Delivery within 500 miles for $1 a mile.

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power

Thu, Feb 27 2014

No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
