This was my car as a teen. 6 years ago I decided it was time to restore. A very accomplished guy in my area put brand new floorpans, (high quality) Did some suspension work and then I sent it to another state for restore. The guy started out doing a great job. bodywork, replacement parts and wheels and tires, disk brakes all around and primed and painted.
My local guy built a 1776 motor with dual carbs and I shippped motor to restore guy to put in car. I finally picked car up and restore guy said motor was having some issues (normal) so i took it back to local guy to go over it. I picked it a couple months later and the molding was falling off and a small amount of rust was developing on rear pillar. I then got to looking and noticed restore guy decioded to get a little cheap on me and skimp on parts. I decided to redo the interior that was shoddy and forget about it. I cranked car on regular basis to keep it up while I worked on interior. One day the belt slung off while i was cranking it and I got busy at work and just lost interest. The motor was running when this happened and that was 1 year ago, the car has been sitting there and now it has to go
THE GOOD: All in all the body is tight when you close doors. great glass in it, headliner appears to be fine, good paint on inside, speedo is set back to 0 but has 3 miles on it when I did take it round the block. tires and rims are good all lights worked and speedo worked and lit up. Car fired right up. Motor would scoot, all new wiring harnesses
THE UGLY: Interior needs to be done, inside doors needs to be redone as the were not in the first place (restore dude sucks) small rust on back pillar see pics, Engine needs belt if it needs anything else I do not know I'm not a mechanic. Window cranks need reworking. It needs a hood and hardware for it. i have the seats but they need to be redone and they are not releasing like they should, All runer around rear truck is gone
I'm tired of seeing this car sit there and not be with someone that can bring it back to life. It's just not going to happen with me. If your near me I can deliver for a fee. other than that you are responsible for pickup or delivery
NO RESERVE

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
