What we have here is perhaps one of the rarest found VW's of all time. This is a must have for VW & especially Type iii enthusiasts. These hardly ever pop up on the market in complete running and driving condition with a clear title, so now is your chance to snatch one up! I'm personally a huge fan of the car and thoroughly enjoy driving it. Every time I take it out someone gives thumbs up or asks about it. If I could keep it longer I would, but space is an issue where I'm located and I don't want to put it in storage. This car deserves to be driven and loved by someone who knows what it is and how special of a car it is. I always try to be as brutally honest as possible in all my business on eBay. I'm providing the most accurate information to the best of my knowledge. 3rd party inspections are welcomed as long as the company you hire comes to me. Please note that we are taking about a 51 year old car and not a 2014. Yes it runs and drives good and yes you can enjoy it right away without any work to it. But its not a new car so please don't expect it to be one.
Conditions Report: Powertrain: Solid 1600 runs strong and 4 speed stick shifts smooth. I was told when I purchased it that the motor had been recently rebuilt. The only evidence that I have is the way it runs. Good power, No smoke, no smell & only leaks a little drop of oil. If you know VW's, you know they all leak. Suspension: Car will pull to the left if you release your hand from the wheel. Brakes work but are soft, It may just need some adjusting. Otherwise feels very smooth going down the road. Tires have plenty of tread but are older.
Electrical: The push button headlights, tail & stop lights, wipers all work but the flashers and signals do not. The speedo doesn't operate either. There is a radio in the car but its not working either. Interior: Complete and in really good shape for its age. The only noticeable wear is to the door cards as they have become weathered and worn. Otherwise pretty sharp looking. Paint and Body: Paint looks great from about 10 feet away. Up close you will notice bubbles and some runs. Body is very straight for the most part but has one noticeable dent above the drivers side rear panel. The car also has a bit of rust on and around the doors and a little above the rear trunk lid. I did not notice any major rust to the pans or other places than mentioned above. Most of it is surface and I'm confidant that a qualified body man would be able to repair and remove most all of it. The car also has an aftermarket sunroof which is a little bit of a turn off to the purest collectors. Overall: This is one cool very rare old car! You never see these around and it catches a ton of attention if that's what your after. The only thing that I would personally do to it if I was to keep it would be to work on the signals and brakes. Otherwise, its a really clean weekend cruiser just as it sits. Please take the time to watch the videos posted as they give a real good scope of car.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
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.
VW readying CC Shooting Brake?
Mon, 11 Feb 2013This was bound to happen. Volkswagen's relentless drive for big volume has the brand mining seemingly every niche it can find for additional sales worldwide. And with its CLS Shooting Brake, fellow countryman Mercedes-Benz has already shown that a wagon based off of a "four-door coupe" can look dead sexy and command extra dollars. So it follows that the Volkswagen CC (whose existence is all but directly attributable to the success of the original CLS sedan) will also get a load-lugging variant. That's according to the UK's Autocar, which notes that the five-door will come in the CC's next generation.
According to the report, the next CC will be available in front and all-wheel drive variants with the usual assortment of gas and diesel four-cylinders found in the Wolfsburg empire, with the possibility of a gas plug-in hybrid model, too. The rakish estate will ride atop VW's MQB architecture, a shorter variant of which is also found underneath the new Golf. The scalable chassis is set to spread like kudzu throughout the company's lineup, but the CC probably won't happen until after the launch of the next European-market Passat in 2015.
Will we get it in North America? Hard to say. Volkswagen sells the standard CC saloon here, but not in particularly large numbers, and when the company moved to a North American-specific Passat, it dumped the wagon variant. The traditional VW estate apparently continues to pick up sales momentum abroad, however, making the CC Shooting Brake a seemingly natural fit for buyers who still want the utility of a two-box form but can afford to sacrifice a bit of cargo room in the name of style.
