No Reserve, High Bidder WINS!

We are Proud to offer one of the nicest 1982 RARE LX "Limited Wolfsburg Edition" Volkswagen Pickups also known as the Caddy. Only 188k miles since new. This is the ONLY known Wolfsburg Edition Caddy available in the marketplace today. When buying one, why not reach for the stars and buy the most sought after, highly optioned pickup!

I feel this is one of the NICEST available for Sale. This was a former show car in the 1980’s. This was purchased from the original owners. Here comes the fun stuff!

The original owner special ordered the Limited Wolfsburg Edition which was beyond the top of the line model at the time. He ordered it with remote mirrors, factory air conditioning, sliding rear window, and bed gates. Its LOADED with accessories and options. If that wasn’t enough, he added a GTI 1.8L engine, GTI 5 speed manual transmission, GTI wheels, GTI seats, GTI console with “working gauges” (2) 8” sub woofers and a remote Alpine CD player. It also has a rare Kamei front spoiler which i have been told are hard to come by. It runs and drives great. Its a BLAST to drive.

This is for all the Caddy MK1 enthusiasts or anyone that demands a nice Volkswagen Pickup with a near perfect original exterior. The number of nice survivors is very low in this condition. Without question, it is certain to be a standout in any serious collector's stable or anyone that appreciates a low millage never been hit pickup. The truck is still wearing most of its original Silver paint.

The original owners of this 1982 LX Limited Wolfsburg Edition Volkswagen Pickup took exceptional care of it. This super exceptional and un-restored original is a great example of just how nice an old Volkswagen pickup can be with a history of proper care, maintenance, and being garaged. It displays beautifully for being over 30 years old and being garaged since new. Everything works as it should. The undercarriage will surprise you with how clean and dry it is. This Caddy draws a lot of respect from knowledgeable enthusiasts. Be prepared to get lots of waves, smiles, and compliments everywhere you go. It runs and drives great.

Please remember this is not a restored pickup; it has some dings, scratches, and minor paint touchups over the years, which is common for being 30 plus years-old. Those who have been looking know how impossible it is to find a pickup in this condition also being the rare LX Wolfsburg Edition, and rare options it has listed above. It’s the only LX Wolfsburg Edition available for sale in the marketplace its that rare, as I have done my research. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own this one. Its hard to explain every detail of a 30 plus year old vehicle, the headliner is not perfect, the drivers seat bolster has some wear, there some small splits on the dash, and minor cancer bubbles in the bed of the truck the size of a dime, which is hardly noticeable, as I’m just trying to be detailed on the description. Many people cant believe how clean it really is.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.

Volkswagen Jetta getting new 1.4L turbo four

Tue, Aug 4 2015

In yet another example of engine downsizing, Volkswagen has announced it is slotting a new 1.4-liter turbo four into the Jetta. The smaller, forced-induction engine will replace the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four in the Jetta S and the 1.8-liter turbo four in the Jetta SE, bringing with it direct injection and improved fuel economy. The 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is from the EA211 family. It's made of aluminum and features a compact single-scroll compressor, an intercooler integrated into the injection-molded induction pipe, exhaust manifold integrated into the head, variable intake and exhaust valve timing, direct fuel injection, dual overhead cams driven by a toothed belt, and a 10.0:1 compression ratio. All that adds up to 150 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated in the Jetta to either a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy figures have yet to be certified, but are projected to come in at around 39 miles per gallon on the highway with the automatic, representing 13- and 7-percent improvements over the units it replaces. The EA211 is Volkswagen's new global small gasoline engine family, manufactured principally by Skoda in the Czech Republic. It's set to replace the old EA111 series, offering higher efficiency in a more compact and adaptable package. The Jetta Hybrid already uses essentially the same engine paired with an electric motor, and is being adapted to three-cylinder formats as well. INTRODUCTION OF NEW 1.4T ENGINE REINFORCES VOLKSWAGEN'S LEADERSHIP IN TURBOCHARGED, DIRECT INJECTION TECHNOLOGY Aug 4, 2015 Fitment of EA211 engine in Jetta models extends implementation of intelligent downsizing to 97 percent of Volkswagen vehicles sold in the U.S. market Traverse City, MI — Volkswagen pioneered the use of small displacement; highly efficient turbocharged and direct-injection engines in the U.S. Volkswagen first used this combination of turbocharging and direct injection in this market in its TDI® Clean Diesel engines in the Passat in 1996 and extended it into the gasoline field in the 2006 Jetta GLI and GTI models. Since then, the Volkswagen EA888 four-cylinder engine has set the benchmark for small-displacement turbocharged engines, beginning with the 2009 CC, while the EA288 TDI has set the standard for diesel engines in the North American market since it first appeared in the 2009 Jetta TDI Clean Diesel.

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
