Custom front to back; one of a kind.  Mack truck hood ornament(bull dog).  The first picture is to show "hubcap"/mag different look.  Has full mag rims that were painted black on the fronts by previous owner as all other pictures show (paint can be removed).    

  Not just a cruiser, but deserves a VW magazine front page.  Offers will be made to buy this at every meet or beach hang-out you go to.  I choose to sell it via this Ebay & Craigslist, but if I wanted to spend the time going to, and hanging at VW club/car meets, it would not be a problem selling at my price.    

There is no back seat or top (I'm sure one can be installed even if a roll bar is part of the plan; even small buckets/jump seats may be adaptable).  All carpeted with nice two fold middle split cover over battery & other floor well.  Starts & runs good.  No oil smoke; hardly any dripping.  Clutch & shifting good.  Two rear speakers.  Compare with dune buggys on Ebay.  My price is real close to upper end dunes.  And, do you really want an "A-typical" dune clone?  Ya seen one dune, seen them all.  A roll bar in my VW can adapt a bimini or similar sunshade targa, & work for surfboard, beach equip, etc. cool carry.


ALL NEW items:  floor pan, wiring, brake parts, *front disc brakes, axle dust boots & bearings, shocks(rear have adjustable springs), front end parts, stainless trim pieces on running boards, $800 in Kumho tires, chrome lug nuts with locking one on each wheel (key to locking lugs is stored in engine compartment which locks), and so on.  The battery is not very old.  Also includes a 100% waterproof elastic cornered, & vented storage cover (for event outside parking, etc.; it does keep car dry).


NEEDS SEAT BELTS.


 CLEAR TITLE/VEHICLE ID#.


THE LAST PICTURE IS WITH HUBCAP ALTERNATIVE . 


*****LOCKING STEERING WHEEL, WHEEL LUGS, & ENGINE HATCH.  ELECTRICAL CUT-OFF SWITCH TO ALL CAR FEEDS BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT*********                      ******                   *****       *************                                ****************


* WILL ALWAYS ::::: BEACH HIGH TEN .


* BEST BUSINESS PROMOTION ATTENTION GETTER. 


* GEORGIA BULLDOG TAILGATER THEME & COLOR.  


* WOULD LOOK EVEN BETTER WITH A CUSTOM ROLL BAR/SNAP-ON CANVAS BIMINI (THIS WOULD RAISE VALUE // EVEN BETTER LOOK FOR SURE).   I MAY BE PAINTING THE GRILL "CHROME" AT SOME POINT & INSTALLING NEON LIGHT EFFECTS IN GRILL GROOVES/UNDER RUNNING BOARDS (LOOKS LIKE THE GRILL WAS SILVER & PAINTED BLACK). 

^^^^^^^^*****THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST EBAY LISTING FOR AWHILE.  THINKING ABOUT TAKING TO THE SPRING TURKEY ROD RUN IN DAYTONA & LOCAL VW MEETS/CLUB EVENTS.

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.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
