In 1970 a Southern California Pin Stripe artist named Chuck Babbitt aka "Shaky Jake" set out to create the pinnacle of custom show VW beetles. He started with a solid 1949 split window roof and proceeded to purchase a brand new Bug. From there it went to Neil Emory's shop to have a total makeover. Chuck had a vision and the car was dubbed Shaky's Masterpiece. This car when completed won every Bug in it was ever entered in! The car was re done in the late 2000's and was stripped, re painted and a host of new additions were added. The interior was re done in modern materials, Scat pro Car seats installed and a host of billet accessories and a new 1776 dual Weber motor brought the car up to todays standards. When the current owner bought the car in 2011 new dics brakes and spindles were added to make this car a driveable work of art! All systems have been checked and re worked to function correctly. Something that was lacking when the car was purchased. The new motor has under 1000 miles on it and a deep sump oil pan and oil breather system were added to keep "Shaky" leak free. Over all the car is 9.8 out of 10 from being perfect. The car has an Alpine sound system with 2 amps and Boston Ascoustic speakers. The car features many custom modifications such as flared fenders, functional scoops, '49 roof, Cut Glass motif on the glass, Custom louvered deck lid, complete chromed out engine, engine turned stainless steel firewal and dash, VDO guages, Sunroof, Budnick Billet wheels, Powdercoated and chromed suspension, Gas door elimination, custom GM side view mirrors, custom paint and pinstripping, custom exhaust. This car turns heads where ever it is driven. The car currently has only 17,094 original miles! Own a piece of history. Car cover is included with the car. The car has basically sat covered in a garage for 2 years and it is time for someone else who will show the car again to enjoy this masterpiece.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
