This posting is for a 1968 VW Baja beetle. This Beetle runs, drives. The autostick transmission works great. There is some rust on the car. I didnt see anything rusted trough though. the floor pan under the battery looks good. all of the seats are there just in rough shape. It does need some cleaning up. So it would be good to bring a tow truck or a trailer. This has been sitting in my storage yard or a while. the tires have air but they are dry rotted. I put new gas in it it idles nice. I set the timing in it. The oil is good. This has had the fiberglass kit put on it. The rear engine part has been caged in and the rear section of the car has been cut out. This has had a ton of stuff done to it but it has been sitting for a while and need some love to go have some fun in it. This is by no means a piece of junk this is a great car. My friend had it fixed up for his daughter to drive but she didnt like it so it has just sat for a while. Now it is time to get it to someone that will take care of it and be able to enjoy it. I will post some pictures of it. I have sold a couple cars on here and motors and stuff. I like to think I am pretty mechanical and I have never had anyone complain because I do my absolute best to check everything over and make sure I list all if any issues with my items especially a big purchase like a car. This has a clean and clear pink slip. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Like I said I will post some pictures of this to go with the video but the video pretty much tells the story. Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

SINCE THIS WAS POSTED I PUT A BATTERY IN IT AND I ALSO FIXED THE TICKING. THERE WAS JUST A VACCUME LEAK. IT STILL DOES IT A LITTLE BIT BUT NOT BAD. I JUST THINK IT NEEDS A LITTLE LOVE. I HAVE SEEN THESE GOING FOR QUITE A BIT ON HERE. GET THIS ONE AT A DEAL WHILE YOU CAN. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT LITTLE TOY FOR SOMEONE. YOU CAN DRIVE IT AWAY. I WOULD TOW IT OR TRAILER IT THOUGH BECAUSE OF THE TIRES.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
