Up for auction is a freshly restored 1964 Beetle, This had NO RUST on the body at all! IT was sanded, and Re-Painted with 3 coats of GM white. Fenders and doors were removed to get to everything. Vehicle now has been undercoated to prevent any rust from starting. First, a quick list of things fixed or replaced. NEW FLOOR PANS, both halves completely replaced with new ones. NEW CARPET, Seat covers have been cleaned and are not torn, DOOR PANELS, GLOVE BOX, ASSIST HANDLE, WIPERS, GLASS HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, rear tailights are original glass (not cracked or broken), RADIO AND SPEAKERS with AM/FM/CD/USB/ AUX. NEW ANTENNA. Also has new STAINLESS STEEL polished Running Boards. NEW SEAT BELTS. NEW WINDOW SEALS ALL THE WAY AROUND, NEW trunk and decklid seals, and, NEW door seals. Brakes have been gone over and have at least 70% life left. Engine has been timed, plugs regapped, points cleaned and adjusted, valves adjusted with NEW Valve Cover gaskets. This has dual carbs that have been sychronized and adjusted. There is no choke on these carbs, so, she needs to be tickled a little when cold start-up. Door locks and decklid have been gone through and lubed/cleaned as needed. Runs great and shifts well. I am a VW nut myself, and I was suprised at the pep this car has! Not your typical slow beetle! The bumpers have been smoothed and customized for a No-bolthead CAL-LOOK appearance. Tires are good and hold air, Steering is tight and bearings have been repacked and greased. Trans has new fluid in it. Has fresh oil change, also has remote oil filter next to right rear wheel. The original sunroof has some new parts in it as well, GUIDES AND CABLES are new, CRANK GEAR is new. Now, for the not-so perfect, The sunroof works, but just needs a little helping hand to assist opening/closing. The headliner has some staining on it, but is not torn. A little interior paint or, if you are handy, a new headliner is about $80 online. Paint has a few spots with dust in it, but a little wet sanding and a buff would come out. Also, the exhaust is a header with dual Quiet pack mufflers on it and does not have the heater boxes required to have heat in the cabin. In the front trunk area, there are two 4" holes that were drilled in there at some point, I do not know why. Reciepts for all new parts are included. I am a VW/Audi technician and have performed all the work myself on this car, I am listing it for my neighbor whom actually owns the car and runs a small auto dealer as a hobby. I have listed the good and not-so good as well as I can recall. We reserve the right to end auction early, as it is for sale locally. No warranty, as-is. Buyer responsible for pick-up or shipping. Thank you and happy bidding!

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.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
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.
