I picked pepe' up from the original owners estate sale this summer as a project. it had been sitting for a couple of years so I have replaced a bunch of stuff. New battery, head gasket, timing belt, intake manifold gasket, FULL tune up, new fuel pump, fuel distribution pump ( including full cleaning and tuning of the fuel injection system, rebuilt the drum brakes, all new metric vacuum and vent lines, new exhaust, flushed all fluids, i have recently added (2) snow tires for the front and I am sure a bunch of other stuff that i can't remember. I have been driving pepe' to work every day since august and he has never given me a problem and even got me 30+ MPG he drives straight handles good and even manages to keep up on the freeway ( barely). Pepe' is still kind of a project and could use a few things but I have been driving him as is ,he is an super rare Lx 5 speed with pretty much every option available in 82.( no bug guard or moon visor) he is complete and he even still has the Porsche transistor radio that works great. A short list of what he still needs: hood latch release cable ( it works just not well) cv boots I have a set from parts place for vw's that i will include. parking brake cable ( i rebuilt the drums but have not gotten to replacing the cable it is seized up) heater control switch. the heater works great and if i pop the hood I can manually adjust it you just have to push so hard I am afraid it is going to break. drivers side wing window latch , and driver side window crank. The AC is complete but the belt had been removed when I got it and I have not tried to do anything with it. the exhaust was rotted and in a moment of high school flashback i just threw on a glass pack it works great but it is damned annoying. Pepe' is an amazing example of a mostly original example I will deliver within 100 miles of my home or help the winning builder load it only. Cash or certified funds only. Thank you for looking |

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
