I purchased this car in the southwestern United States four years ago. I am selling it because I am not using it enough to warrant the upkeep and insurance. It has been continually garaged since I purchased it as a Sunday driver. I have never driven it in the rain and the car is completely rust free including, the original floor pans, the heater channels, and those other places you would expect a VW of this era to rust. This is what prompted my purchase initially as rust is a problem with these vehicles. This is not a stock Volkswagon and has a number of non-stock features. The engine is a 2180 cc with a Dellorto two barrel carburetor and electric fuel pump. It is well tuned and performs flawlessly with no smoking and excellent compression. I removed the velocity stacks on the carburetor and installed a smaller K&N filter so I could close the engine compartment for a more traditional look. I have the stacks and taller K&N filter as well as the hinge extensions to accommodate the larger filter if you want them. The stacks do improve the engine performance. I am to old for noisy mufflers so I installed one with a quite rumble. The engine has an exhaust header. From the late shifting I suspect the transmission has a freeway flyer type ratio. This is a very fast VW. The turn signals are recessed into the bumper to give the fenders a cleaner California style look. I have a set of original signals I will include. The front spindles are two inches lower then stock so the car is lower in the front with 145/15 tires that are almost new. The rear has almost new 165/15 tires. The car has custom wheels. The stock steering wheel was replaced with a much smaller one. Originally I did not like this style and I was going to replace it but found it much easier to get in the front seat with the smaller wheel. All of the lights, signals, and the fuel gauge work. The alternator charges. The interior is in excellent condition although not stock. All of the window seals are new. The top and top bows are new. The car is registered and driven as an antique in Virginia.
There is no heat in the car. I purchased heat exchangers and heater parts but decided since I do not use the car in cold weather not to install them. The car had no horn. The spare is a 165/15 and does not fit the original location designed for it. I purchased a newer style crank jack. There is no windshield washer and no radio. The increased engine performance decreases the gas milage. The milage is what appears on the odometer and may not be accurate.
This car is in exceptional condition but is over 40 years old and is sold as is. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer although I will assist in any way I can. You can fly in and drive home if you like. Payment by bank money transfer is preferred. If you are going to be near Williamsburg Virginia please come and drive it.

I added bonnet pictures. There is a picture looking at the are uncarpeted to see the condition. There is a picture looking into the tire well but it does not fit in the 165/15 tire I use as a spare. The 145/15 front tire does fit the well. I included the tire well as it is an excellent indicator of the lack of rust on the car. I included a carpeted picture with the spare as I cary it with the new style jack. The carpet does not have the fiberboard under it as the original did.
On Apr-09-13 at 15:39:33 PDT, seller added the following information:
I added a picture I took laying on the garage floor of the floorpans looking forward. I included a view of the heater channel. I appreciate why anyone looking at this car is concerned with rust. There is no floorpan or heater channel rust on the undercarriage.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
2015 VW Passat Limited Edition priced from $23,995*
Sun, Mar 8 2015Volkswagen is doing some rearranging of its lineup for the Passat sedan, ditching a pair of trims on the entry level, 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and replacing them with a new Limited Edition trim level. Gone are the Wolfsburg and SE trims from model year 2014, which rung up at $24,375 and $26,280, respectively. The new Limited Edition will start at $23,995, not including $820 in destination charging. According to VW, the new trim level packages $2,755 of extras over the base Passat S, but only demands an extra $1,555 of cash. Not a bad bargain, particularly as the Limited Edition adds some desirable features. An intelligent key with push-button start, 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear-view camera, heated leatherette seats with power controls on the driver's side and a touchscreen radio with an eight-speaker stereo, along with a few lesser options, like fog lights, chrome window trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Beyond the new list of standard equipment, this is still the same competent German sedan. The 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is paired up with a smooth shifting six-speed automatic, as with other trim levels. Check out VW's press release on the new Passat Limited Edition, available below. VOLKSWAGEN RELEASES PRICING ON 2015 PASSAT LIMITED EDITION MODEL Mar 6, 2015 Passat Limited Edition model starts at $23,995 Fuel-efficient 1.8-liter TSI® engine and six-speed automatic transmission standard Value-laden model has a host of standard features, including KESSY® keyless access with push-button start, V-tex leatherette seating surfaces, heatable front seats,17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, touchscreen radio and rearview camera Herndon, VA – Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced pricing on the 2015 Passat Limited Edition model. The Limited Edition model will have a starting MSRP of $23,995 (plus transportation) and supersedes the Wolfsburg and SE models from the current model year. The new Limited Edition model offers a great value: compared with the automatic transmission S model, it has $2,755 of additional equipment, but costs just $1,555 more.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
