JCS Freeway Flyer transmission
Over 25K spent, lots of receipts.
I bought this car in July, 2010 from the owner who did the restoration. I bought it for my wife, and she has not really used it much. We have put 652 miles on it since we bought it and that is the reason we're selling it. With a street bike, dirt bikes, a ski boat and busy schedules, we don't really get time to use it.
The following is copied from the ebay listing by the previous owner:
This is a stunning light blue VW Classic Convertible. I have invested over $25K onm the restoration of this vehicle. the engine, transmission were purchased from JCS. The engine is a turn key 2110cc with the new engine and heads upgrade. Kennedy stage 1 clutch, performance exhaust, dual 40mm carb set, single side cover IRS transmission (388:1 R&P super diff, 11D street) total cost $5210.85 (I have the receipt)
The car comes with new wheels and tires and is also equipped with all four wheel disc brake conversion. New paint and nedw custom interior, it also has a new canvas convertible top with headliner. the suspension system also includes new front struts and rear shocks. All the rubber has been replaced and the dash assembly is also new. The radio needs to be installed and hooked up to the speakers, also the speedo is currently inoperative and the true mileage is unknown. (I have repaired the speedo, but it still pulses at low speed) The vehicle includes just about everything new.
I would add that this thing is quick, and with the higher geared transmission, it will gladly cruise down the highway at 80mph all day.
The previous owner was obviously an enthusiast.
He did spend a lot of money in all the right places and came up with a very appealing car.
Based on what I've seen recently, I would place the real market value of this car around $20K, and that will only go up with time. These old Beetles, especially convertibles are great investments.
Please check the pictures and video link (you can hear it run) carefully to insure you know exactly what you're buying, and good luck; summer is almost here!

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
