1969 Volkswagen Double Cab Truck Daily Driver Rebuilt 1641cc Engine on 2040-cars
Felton, California, United States
1969 VOLKSWAGEN Double Cab TRUCK. Wonderful daily driver in very nice original condition. No rust. Completely dry chassis. Older repaint is holding up well and has a very nice vintage patina. The bed is extremely clean and free from excessive denting. The gates are very strait and function as they should. Original bowes are in very nice condition as well. Less than 1000mi on a freshly REBUILT 1641cc universal engine including new pistons, cylinders, vanagon rocker arms, heads, exhaust, bosch alternator, .009 distributor, and a Solex 34 PICT carb. The engine is completely broken in and has just received a full tune up and is ready to drive. The shifting is smooth and the truck easily cruises in the 65-70 mph range. In addition to a rebuilt motor the truck has benefited form a completely rebuilt braking syestem including: master cylinder, lines, shoes and turned rotors. The windshield is brand new, however, all other glass is original. Other new items include: a brand new battery, 5 new 195/65R14 tires, new shocks, and a full tune up. This truck has never seen an accident is overall extremely clean. It has been my reliable daily driver since I have owned it and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

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.
