Early this year, I came across this cool little car in Ohio. I bought it with the intentions of restoring it myself as a summer project car. As luck would have it, I'm now on kidney dialysis and just can't do this type of work anymore much to my disappointment. The previous owner told me that he bought it 5 years ago from a woman in California who owned it for awhile and drove it across the country twice. It was trailered from Ohio to my home in PA and was driven off of the carrier. It started right up with no problems. The engine is a 4 cylinder with a 2 barrel Holley carburetor. The transmission is a 3 speed automatic on the floor. This car needs fully restored. The body itself is pretty solid with some body work that the last owner started. The roof is gray and is good with a very small tear on the drivers side. All the glass is present. The windshield is wrapped in newspaper and set into it's space but not attached yet. The back window is glass. The bumpers are with the car. The front one is on the car and the back one is off but in nice condition and ready to be attached. The wheels have hub caps on them. It needs the rocker panels replaced. I've already purchased them and they are included with the car. The brown vinyl interior is in fair condition. It needs a good cleaning. The dash pad is cracked but a new one is included to replace it. The passenger door panel is okay and on the car. The driver side door panel is not on the door but is in the car right now and not in very good shape. A new carpet is included but needs installed. All of the trim is present. It's off of the car but ready to be put back on. There is no back seat. The original tail lights were removed and stored in boxes and are in good condition. The original exhaust, which has dual pipes, is on the car and sounds good. The color of the car is called Groovy Green and quite an attention getter! I believe it was painted at least once in it's life time. That didn't really matter to me when I bought it though as I planned on repainting it anyway. Yes, this car needs some TLC but is an absolute great project car! It's just a really neat, fun car that could bring a lot of enjoyment to the right owner. It certainly would be a show stopper at any car show once it is brought back to life!

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
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.
