1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible Base Convertible (not Running) on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
The STORY: Rabbit was found stored in a barn in Ohio for many years, sold at auction in 2012. Purchaser replaced the engine and had the car repainted the original copper/orange color in 2012. We purchased the car in the fall of 2013 as a light daily driver for $2,400. The GOOD: New paint (original color), new tires, new brakes, new shocks/struts, new tie-rods. (Approximately $1100 of work was done by Dale's Karr Parts). Car is free of any surface rust, and the underbody has zero rust holes and minimal surface oxidation. This is a very solid car that would be a great starting point for someone looking for a restoration project. The OK: Convertible top is mechanically sound, but insulation and headliner layers have been removed (previous owner stated that the insulation had deteriorated as the car was stored for many years) The ORIGINAL: Interior, dash, carpet and all upholstery are original. Driver's seat shows wear/cracking and some deterioration to internal foam, but all other seats are in great condition. Windowsill padding on drivers door is worn in one spot through to metal undersurface. The UNFORTUNATE: The car stopped running on I-71 a few weeks ago and is not running currently. We have decided that this daily driver has turned into a project which we do not have room to keep, nor the expertise to begin a restoration. This would be a great car for someone looking for an engine/transmission restoration project as it would require fairly minimal body work for a light restoration. Feel free to email if you would like additional information or to view the vehicle. |

VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
