Vw Convertible Bug "speedster" Style. From German Kit. Rare And Really Cool on 2040-cars
Costa Mesa, California, United States
|
Must sell this cool-looking, great driving 1969 VW Bug -- modified with a German Kit into a "Speedster" style. Body has no dents or rust. Seats have some tears, but the genuine Sheepskins give a good look and feel. Front seats only, with storage behind. Convertible top is in excellent condition. as are carpets. No cracks on dash, and varnished hardwood is removable. Lights and instruments function properly. Always starts; the Dualport 1641 runs strong; and the suspension is solid with no rattles. Dual-dual exhaust sounds just right. Doesn't burn oil and drips just a few small spots in a week. One person can handle the convertible up-down as well as the boot cover. Some have turned these into "rat-rods" and although this vehicle could be tricked that way, it's so clean that the best presentation is still a "speedster" for handling highways, back roads and cruising beach streets. I'm 72 and down-sizing my life, but whenever I have taken out this unique classic, I have felt like age eighteen and shooting "American Graffiti" for George Lucas. Everyone is amazed and wants to know the story of this rare cruiser.
Pay-Pal might be a good way to consummate a sale -- deposit of $750 within 48 hours of purchase and then whatever is best for the final exchange of cash, car and registration within one week. Of course, if you want to meet me in Southern California for the transaction, that will work. I am open to other ways of payment that are secure for buyer and seller. If you wish to see/drive the "speedster" that can be arranged via email and then phone. Buyer is responsible for pick-up or shipping, although I can help make arrangements on this end. My name is Gary, and I just want to see a fair deal all around. |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
