Custom One Of A Kind 1975 Volkswagen Vw Beetle Bug Yamaha 1000 Powered on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States

Custom 1975 Volkswagen Beetle 4 speed manual transmission Powered by a Yamaha FZR 1000 Engine! This beetle has a custom installed Yamaha FZR 1000 engine! The FZR engine is mated directly to the Volkswagen transmission via driveshaft. All shifting is done through the Volkswagen transmission. Thus retaining all forward and reverse gears. Most motorcycle engine transplants into vehicles do not have reverse. The engine is mounted solid with custom motor mounts. It starts every time without choke, shifts smoothly & pulls like mad! It is a True sleeper! I'm pretty sure you could kill some Mustangs and Camaros! The body has been painted matte / satin green and is pretty straight for its age. The floor pan is very solid. No patch work has been done. There are some rust holes on the bottom of the heater tubes. But could be patched in easily. The interior is all there. Door panels need to be redone. Front and rear seats are in better than average condition. Headliner needs to be replaced. The rear sections around the rear windows are ripped. The ignition switch does not return to home. So once it starts it needs to be turned back a 1/4 turn. Lights and signals work. What this car needs is someone with a vision to finish it. The hard part is done. It is a PROJECT and needs lots of love. Please ask all questions prior to bidding! Ask your wife, girlfriend or mom before you bid! |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
Yes, a family of 5 can live in a 1981 VW Westfalia van
Fri, Feb 14 2014Automakers and marketers trying to reach environmentally conscious consumers who desire the simple life basically have two strategies: promote electric vehicles that can be charged through green energy or sell a 30-year-old Volkswagen van on Craigslist. Nicolas Boullosa and Kirsten Dirksen opted for Plan B and turned a 1981 Volkswagen Westfalia camper into a "micro-living" experiment. The co-founders of the simple living website faircompanies packed up their van and three young children for a road trip through the Pacific Northwest. They even turned the adventure into a documentary called Summer of (Family) Love, which you can view below. It's two hours long, so maybe add this to your weekend viewing list. They limited themselves to one backpack per person into a camper that they purchased off Craigslist and named "Westy." They stuck to their original intention of cooking all their own meals off a propane stove, creating a new little home every night in a different location, mostly spaces outside RV parks. They met up with other enthusiasts of the "tiny house" community who live like nomads. They were able to interview a few of then and, "With each stop we picked up some new piece of wisdom about life's essentials," Dirksen wrote in the faircompanies blog.
