This car is a PARTY on Wheels
Im kind of know for building some crazy looking motorcycles and selling them, the last bike I sold I took in a 1966 Volkswagen Bug in on trade. So I wanted to transform into the old school Tijuana Taxi. When I got the car it ran good at sometime someone has put in a newer 1600cc VW motor with dual carbs, it starts right up and runs fine. Like most bugs it does leak some oil and after stopping on a long drive it will smoke a bit. The car have been lowered with drop spindles. New tires have just been installed and have less then 10 miles on them. It starts right up every single time and drives out pretty good for what it is. Like a bunch of these older beetle the floor boards are very weak and have several holes in them. The battery was almost to fall through. I didn't address much of the rust factor, it's still has holes but I wanted to make it at least safe. I did fab up a new battery box and the seat it felt like you were going to fall through, so I welded a thick plate from the door jambs to the trans tunnel and then mounted the new office chair seats. The rest of the interior was pretty trashed so I built all new panels and covered them in a Mexican fabric.
Outside I wanted the patina look so I painted the whole car in flat mocha brown and then sanded through exposing all the color underneath, then hand painted the door logo's
We had a bug car show in town this weekend and the Tijuana Taxi was a huge hit, I think it had more people around it than any other car at the show. It was a blast watching and listing to people commits, nobody could walk past it with out stopping and everyone wanted to take a picture of it. I brought along a Sombrero and let them wear it while taking pictures.
I have only had this car three weeks, my goal was to make it cool and send it down the road. I don't have the title back from the state yet but it will have a clean and clear title and I should have it back soon.
Driving down the road you get thumbs up all the time, I've even been pulled over several times with people wanting to take there picture beside it.
I've only owned this car 3 weeks and haven't driven it much my longest trip has only been 30 miles, I would not think this car would be a good daily driver, but it's perfect for car shows, parades or any other events. It has a amazing look and you will get tons of complements. I had a amazing time at our 3 day car show seeing all the smiles I but on peoples faces.
You will get all kind of attention driving this car, so if your on the FBI Wanted list don't buy this car, if you don't like attention DONT BUY THIS CAR. But if you enjoy seeing everyone smile this might be the right car for you.
For a living I sell cars on ebay for a couple of dealerships here in town, and I set up shipping every single day. So I can help you arrange shipping. I would not suggest a cross country trip until you get the car checked out a bit more.
I hope everyone loves my latest creation, it makes me smile every time I look at it. I think the car should sell for over $5000.00 but I will let you the bidder tell me what it's worth. This auction will be no reserve and I will start it at just one penny and it will sell to the highest bidder. Put I will not tolerate slow payment, I expect a $500 paypal within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days, it you cant do this don't bid.
Call or Text me Devin at 620-664-3011 with any questions.
Good Luck winning this auction and I hope you enjoy the Tijuana Taxi

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...
Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
