1973 Vw Super Beetle Woody-ford Front Beach Bopper Conversion, Z Thing "project" on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
This is a scratch & dent, semi-rat rod, beach buggy sale. This is a fun project that, when tweeked, will beach friendly everyone that sees it. Previous owner installed a new gas tank, tires, chrome rims, battery, & both steering idler arms. He was not going to install the a back seat (he used it more for trade show wood samples demos of wood buildings he builds). A good back seat comes with it including new matching vinyl seat covers that are shown only placed on seats for demo. They will need to be stretched completely before install if new owner chooses to do so. The brakes do work with no leaks, but have not been bled (still has air in lines; good enough for transport loading-not driving home). The front doors close snug/tight & their windows wind up easy. Comes with three standard VW rims, 2 boxes of parts. Clutch & transaxle are very good. The engine starts & runs good (starts by turning the key with a push button between the front seats). The motor has not been run much in the last two years. It has some new valve push rod tubes. Items that need attention: finish brake bleed process, some lights are not working, generator light is on, windows need install (glass not furnished) for the back four sides & tailgate back frame (a creative person may find other artistic/surfer venues to fill in). I thought of faux wood look water proof mini-blinds w/wood pull close back slats to hold closed. Water proof is only needed if you have to be out on rainy days. Or plexiglass? Beach towels with picture themes stapled to both insides & back, work for me. Some back shelf interior trimming will finish it off( was going to staple moving pad blankets over the shelf wood). Some decorative finishing wood trim would be each artisen's choice. The Vehicle ID number on the title matches the windshield factory plate. It is a Florida title. This can be a great prop for business (bar, beach shop, wood furniture biz). Dune buggys cost more than this.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
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.
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
