Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Too many little things to describe here. I tried to photograph the cosmetic problems. The engine runs great, the transmission shifts smoothly and firmly, the brakes and brake lines were recently worked on. Uses modern gas with no additives."

This is an ongoing project. We have it running great, new brakes, some new engine parts. All exterior lights work. It needs new floor pans welded in (the usual VW rust has eaten through the floor pans) and seat tracks. It has only two small dents and many little cosmetic problems. The dash board has a crack in it and the instruments work but the instrument lights do not work. It was originally green but re-painted red a few years ago. It needs new door panels and new upholstery on the floor. The plastic seats are not cracked. It has the original seat belts. It has a brand new convertible top that was eaten through by mice in my garage and needs to be replaced :-<. It has the original glass rear window and all frame parts for the top. There are too many little issues to describe here, like the inside of the glove box needs to be put in (reproduction glove box liners are available online). I took photos of some things that need attention. The tires are in great shape, we recently drove from Cincinnati Ohio to Lawrenceburg Indiana on the freeway and on back roads with no problems. The transmission is tight and it shifts like a brand new car. A couple of new brake lines, cylinders and shoes. The engine hums like a bee. It's a real pleasure to drive.

The mileage is unknown. I put 100,000 because eBay won't let me leave this field blank. The actual mileage is somewhat less, according to my mechanic. The odometer/speedometer was replaced and many of the parts on this car were replaced with either original VW parts or with reproduction parts from the VW folks in California. You know the ones. Every single part of this car is available online, except for the rear glass window and dashboard. They make glue-on dash boards that cover the old one, but I never bought one. The headlights and all lights work but the instrument panel lights do not. I ordered a new headlight switch (which controls the panel lights) because the old one is bad and I should have it replaced by the time the auction ends.

This vehicle may be seen and driven any time. Email me for an appointment if you'd like to do a test drive and inspection.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
