          MINT CONDITION 1969 VW BAJA BUG WITH GROUND UP, PAN OFF RESTORATION

EVERY SINGLE NUT, BOLT, WIRE, PART, ECT WERE TAKEN OFF AND IS NOW BRAND NEW READY FOR ANOTHER FORTY YEARS. THE BAJA IS TOTALLY STREET LEGAL AND IS A 1ST PLACE TROPHY WINNER, SHOW STOPPER!! IF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR JUST THE RIGHT BAJA BUG TO COME UP FOR SALE, YOU MAY OF JUST CAME ACROSS IT HERE. THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLE OF A BAJA THAT IS RESTORED RIGHT AND LOOKS EVEN BETTER. AND THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS SECOND TO NONE. IF THEY MAKE A NEW PART FOR THIS, ITS ON IT. THERE IS NO BOLT UNTOUCHED ON ENTIRE BAJA!
                                                                                      BODY
I STARTED WITH A SOLID BODY WITH NO RUST OR ROT TO BEGIN WITH. THE BODY WAS COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED AND REMOVED FROM CHASSIS AND STRIPPED TO BARE METAL. I STAYED IN THE GERMAN FAMILY WITH A STUNNING PORSCHE INDIAN RED PAINT JOB THAT I HAVE OVER FIVE GRAND ALONE IN. EVERYTHING GOT PAINTED AT SAME TIME FROM BODY, DASH, DOORS, UNDER THE HOOD, INSIDE ROOF RAILS TO EVEN THE MATCHING TIN ON THE MOTOR. THE FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS, SIDE BARS AND GAS TANK GOT A MIDNIGHT BLACK PAINT JOB. AND THE CLASSIC WHITE FOR THE RIMS FOR THAT BAJA LOOK. THEN CAME ALL THE BRAND NEW PARTS; HEADLIGHTS AND RINGS, TURN SIGNALS, RUNNING LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, HOOD PINS, WIPERS, ANTENNA, SIDE MIRROR, WINDOW DEFLECTORS, ALL NEW MOLDINGS DOWN THE SIDE, TAIL LIGHTS, TO BRAND NEW LIGHT UP BUGGY WHIP ANTENNA WITH FOLD DOWN MOUNT AND ROOF RACK. FINALLY, I BOUGHT EVERY PIECE OF RUBBER GASKETS, GOURMETS, SEALS, ECT THEY HAVE TO OFFER. AND NOT THE CHEAP ONES EITHER BUT WOLFSBURG WEST. OVER FIVE HUNDRED JUST IN THE DOORS AND OVER A THOUSAND IN JUST RUBBER ALONE. 
                                                                                     CHASSIS
THE PREVIOUS OWNER (P/O) INSTALLED NEW FLOOR PANS AND DID A GOOD JOB AND HEATER CHANNELS WERE IN GREAT CONDITION. SO, I COATED ENTIRE CHASSIS (TOP AND BOTTOM) WITH A POR 15 ANTI RUST TYPE OF PRODUCT TO PROTECT IT FOR ANOTHER FIFTY YEARS. I REPLACED EVERY SINGLE BRAKE COMPONENT WITH OEM PARTS; ALL NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, SHOES, LINES, HARDWARE KITS AND NEW MASTER WITH SWITCHES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, SHE WILL STOP ON A DIME AND GIVE YOU CHANGE. NEXT, CAME THE MOTOR THAT I HAD SENT OUT TO ONE OF THE BEST BUILDERS IN OUR AREA. ITS A 1641cc MOTOR THAT IS BRAND NEW AND REALLY HASN'T EVEN BEEN BROKE IN YET. ALL BRAND NEW PISTONS, CYLINDERS, RINGS, BEARINGS, ALL NEW SEALS, HEADS SENT OUT TO GET REBUILT, DEGREE PULLEY, 009 DISTRIBUTOR WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION, NEW WIRES, PLUGS, BELTS, HOSES, FUEL PUMP, CHROME ALT PULLEY, ONE WIRE HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR, BRAND NEW SOLEX CARBURATOR, AIR CLEANER, FUEL LINES AND FILTERS, CHROME BACKING PLATE, PUSH ROD TUBES, OIL PUMP AND COVER, CHROME VALVE COVERS, BATTERY TO CHROME FIRE WALL AND A DUEL EXHAUST THAT SOUNDS BETTER THAT IT LOOKS. I HAVE OVER FIVE GRAND IN THE MOTOR ALONE. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT RUNS AS GOOD AS SHE LOOKS AND BUILT TO LAST. THE FRONT END WAS REBUILT AS WELL WITH ALL NEW PARTS FROM ALL TIE RODS, CENTER LINK, STEERING STABILIZER, NEW FRONT KYB SHOCKS AND ADDED EXTRA SUPPORT BEAMS (LIKE THE THING HAS) THAT TIE THE FRONT END INTO THE CHASSIS FOR OFF ROADING. COIL OVERS IN THE REAR WITH ADJUSTABLE SPRING PLATES. FINISHED OUT WITH 165R/15 IN THE FRONT AND SOME FAT NASTY GRAND PRIX PERFORMANCE GT P245/50R15 IN THE REAR FOR THAT KILLER OFF ROAD STANCE THAT JUST LOOKS SWEET GOING DOWN THE ROAD!
                                                                                      INTERIOR 
NEXT CAME THE INTERIOR WITH THE SAME KIND OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I HAD THE ROOF INSULATED WITH A CUSTOM HEAD LINER WITH ALL THE ROOF RAILS PAINTED MATCHING RED. A STEP THAT MANY SKIP CAUSE OF ALL THE TIME AND WORK THAT IT TAKES. YET, ITS WORTH THE FINISHED PRODUCT... LET ALONE, ALL INTERIOR WAS PAINTED AT THE SAME TIME THE BODY WAS WHEN IT WAS IN THE PAINT BOOTH. ALL NEW INTERIOR FROM DOOR PANELS (FRONT AND BACK), BLACK AND GREY TMI UPGRADED CARPET KIT, MATCHING TMI REAR CARPET KIT, SECURELY MOUNTED SPEAKER SHELF WITH NEW 6X9s, TMI REAR SEAT REUPHOLSTERED, NEW GRAB REAR GRAB STRAPS AND HOOKS, THREE POINT SEAT BELTS, JAZZ PERFORMANCE FRONT BUCKETS WITH COVERS AND MOUNTED ON STOCK VW SEAT BOTTOMS AND TRACKS AND EVEN SIDE COVERS, EMPI CHROME DOOR SILLS, EMPI HURST STYLE SHIFTER, NEW SUN VISORS, WORKING INTERIOR LIGHT, BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM LEATHER WRAPPED VW STEERING WHEEL WITH WORKING HORN, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, HIGH AND LOW BEAMS, FACTORY IGNITION, WIPERS, AM/FM/CD REMOVABLE PLAYER, CIG/PHONE CHARGER, FOUR WAY FLASHERS, ASH TRAY, PEDAL PADS AND GLOVE BOX. ALL THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED AND THEN THERE ARE LED LIGHTS UNDER THE DASH, IN THE BACK SEAT AREA, UNDERNEATH THE BAJA AND OVER THE MOTOR TO SHOW IT ALL OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT OR AT THE CAR SHOWS. AND THE LIGHT UP BUGGY WHIP ANTENNA WITH FOLD DOWN MOUNT. 
                                                                                 CONCLUSION 
IN CONCLUSION, THIS BAJA BUG IS RESTORED RIGHT AND NEEDS NOTHING BUT A PROUD NEW OWNER THAT WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO... AND EVEN THOUGH I BUILT IT AS MY DAILY DRIVER AND TO WIN THE 1ST PLACE TROPHY AT THE CAR SHOW, I DID ADD THE INGREDIENTS IF YOU DARE TO TAKE IT OFF ROAD. YET, THIS BAJA HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD (BESIDES THE BEACH) BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF SCRATCHING IT. AND I KNOW I RATTLED OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT I AM TRYING TO BE THURAL CAUSE THIS WAS A HUGE RESTORATION PROJECT WITH NO EXPENSE SPARED. I HAVE OVER FIVE HUNDRED MAN HOURS INTO THIS BUILD AND WELL OVER TEN GRAND IN IT. AND I UNDERSTAND I WILL NOT GET IT ALL OUT, BUT NOT GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY EITHER. IF IT CAN NOT CLIMB TO TEN, I MAY KEEP IT OR TRADE IT OFF. YOU COULD NOT BUILD ONE OF THIS CALIBER FOR THIS KIND OF MONEY. THE CAR IS FOR SALE AS IS AND WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE END OF AUCTION. AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME PERSONALLY, CALL MY HOUSE, LEAVE A MESSAGE AND WILL CALL YOU BACK IN THE EVENINGS WHEN I GET MY BOYS TO BED.

SHIPPING IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF PROUD NEW OWNER. KEEP IN MIND THAT BAJA CAN BE TOWED WITH SIMPLE VW TOW BAR WITH JUST ABOUT ANY KIND OF VEHICLE WITH A HITCH.

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries

Mon, Dec 8 2014

VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
