What we have here is perhaps one of the rarest found VW's of all time. This is a must have for VW & especially Type iii enthusiasts. These hardly ever pop up on the market in complete running and driving condition with a clear title, so now is your chance to snatch one up! I'm personally a huge fan of the car and thoroughly enjoy driving it. Every time I take it out someone gives thumbs up or asks about it. If I could keep it longer I would, but space is an issue where I'm located and I don't want to put it in storage. This car deserves to be driven and loved by someone who knows what it is and how special of a car it is. I always try to be as brutally honest as possible in all my business on eBay. I'm providing the most accurate information to the best of my knowledge. 3rd party inspections are welcomed as long as the company you hire comes to me. Please note that we are taking about a 51 year old car and not a 2014. Yes it runs and drives good and yes you can enjoy it right away without any work to it. But its not a new car so please don't expect it to be one.
Conditions Report: Powertrain: Solid 1600 runs strong and 4 speed stick shifts smooth. I was told when I purchased it that the motor had been recently rebuilt. The only evidence that I have is the way it runs. Good power, No smoke, no smell & only leaks a little drop of oil. If you know VW's, you know they all leak. Suspension: Car will pull to the left if you release your hand from the wheel. Brakes work but are soft, It may just need some adjusting. Otherwise feels very smooth going down the road. Tires have plenty of tread but are older.
Electrical: The push button headlights, tail & stop lights, wipers all work but the flashers and signals do not. The speedo doesn't operate either. There is a radio in the car but its not working either. Interior: Complete and in really good shape for its age. The only noticeable wear is to the door cards as they have become weathered and worn. Otherwise pretty sharp looking. Paint and Body: Paint looks great from about 10 feet away. Up close you will notice bubbles and some runs. Body is very straight for the most part but has one noticeable dent above the drivers side rear panel. The car also has a bit of rust on and around the doors and a little above the rear trunk lid. I did not notice any major rust to the pans or other places than mentioned above. Most of it is surface and I'm confidant that a qualified body man would be able to repair and remove most all of it. The car also has an aftermarket sunroof which is a little bit of a turn off to the purest collectors. Overall: This is one cool very rare old car! You never see these around and it catches a ton of attention if that's what your after. The only thing that I would personally do to it if I was to keep it would be to work on the signals and brakes. Otherwise, its a really clean weekend cruiser just as it sits. Please take the time to watch the videos posted as they give a real good scope of car. You will need to copy and paste link in the web address bar on a new page.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US
Fri, Nov 21 2014Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.
Autoweek dubs GMC Canyon, VW GTI its 2015 'Best of the Best'
Wed, Dec 17 2014For kids around the globe, tis the season for Santa, reindeer and presents. For the automotive industry, the last quarter of each year is reserved for awards, whether they come from Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Automobile, or yes, Autoblog. The latest to get released comes from our friends at Autoweek. The magazine has echoed other outlets, naming a Volkswagen hatchback and a small pickup from General Motors as its Best of the Best. Unlike Motor Trend, which handed out its golden calipers to the Chevrolet Colorado and Volkswagen Golf range, Autoweek doled out its awards to the Colorado's twin, the GMC Canyon, while singling out the hottest version of the Golf, the GTI. "This is the best hot-hatch on the American market – and it may be the best car you can buy for less than $30K," one AW staffer said in the publication's article on the feature. Other staffers praised the absolute value provided by the GTI and the overall fun factor. The Canyon, meanwhile, was saluted for being "the perfect size," not to mention its excellent build quality, feature-rich cabin and overall practicality. "It's truly a truck in the most honest sense of the word," Autoweek wrote of the Canyon. Scroll down for the full press release on the announcement from Autoweek, which includes comments from both Volkswagen and GMC. And then head over and read AW's full feature on the awards. Autoweek names Best of the Best/Car and Truck for 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI and GMC Canyon signal a strong year for design, performance and value DETROIT, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Autoweek named the Volkswagen Golf GTI as its Best of the Best/Car for 2015, beating a group of finalists that includes the Alfa Romeo 4C, Ford Mustang and Mercedes-Benz C-class; and the GMC Canyon as its Best of the Best/Truck for 2015, besting the likes of the Chevrolet Colorado, Lincoln MKC and Porsche Macan. Autoweek evaluates every new or significantly updated model throughout the year and begins to identify the standouts. Performance, economy, fit and finish, design, value, significance to the auto industry and personal taste all combine to define the Best of the Best. Four cars and four trucks make the grade, and Autoweek editors put them through rigorous road-handling tests at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich. This is where a vehicle transcends the numbers and shows if design, performance and pure driving passion meld into an Autoweek Best of the Best pick.
