This Is a 1965 VW bug that has been highly modified. The iconic top has been chopped to make it look mean! I call it DARK SIDE HERBIE! I used the same decals, but instead of the 53 I used a Darth Vader. The decals are just noticeable on the flat black paint. it looks really really cool. The suicide doors are keyless and are actuated by a button on the hood area. they can easily be moved anywhere you would like on the car, even make them remote control activated! I know anyone seeing this car can see how much time effort and work has gone in it. I am by no means saying it is a show Quality car, but It would be definitely a highlight of any show. It drives solid and is actually pretty fast. It is a 1600 single port engine that has a new clutch, front pulley, and rear seal along with many other odds and ends. The Rag top closes firmly and is in good shape! The seats are racing seats in the front and the back is from a Scion. The interior in general I would give a 7 out of 10. The only things I still don't like about the car is the door glass is actually plexi-glass and still need the padding to make them not rattle in the slots. Also the actuators that open the door are a bit underpowered and you have to hold the door closed to let them open freely. they can be upgraded but I would upgrade at the same time I make them remote control. You will surely enjoy this vehicle as much as I have! please call me or text me with any questions. I will answer all questions truthfully and to the best of my knowledge. I hope you will call prior to bidding in this car so I can put to rest any doubts you have. Ivan 575-650-2078.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
