Story of the truck Bought off a guy who used it as a daily driver for 20+ years Replaced the engine with one with 80k on it 10k miles ago, truck needed floors, exhaust and some misc. stuff to pass inspection, decided it was tie for something new. I bought it and put new floors in it, new exhaust , put new Sensen struts on the front with 2" drop springs and removed a leaf in the rear to even it out, found out the shock towers were shot when doing the struts, so patched them tying them back into the frame supports, brake lines front to rear section, front pads are next to new and so are rear shoes, we then painted it Matte Black as the previous color was faded ugly brown. Put in a new aftermarket radio (accepts usb and aux jacks) and new dash speakers. Truck gets about 45-50 mpg. As any vehicle from 81 that has 192,xxx on the clock there are some things that will eventually need attention, but it i a running driving truck Truck does need an alignment, and shifter bushings, I can get it into every gear and have driven this way since I've owed it,just want to be honest with you. Really don't want to sell but i have been laid off for about a month now and don't want to get behind on any of my bills or student loans. Last weekend took 2nd in the Mk1 Class at 11th annual Oktoberfest by next Level Tuning out of 15 cars, 1st place looked like it rolled off the showroom floor. I Will be happy to answer any and all questions about this vehicle. It was inspected in september. Selling as is, where located, Can help with shipping but will not provide any shipping free except loading onto a truck if necessary. Also I have the stock front bumper head lights and one turn signals (one has a cracked face tho) and some other misc parts Thanks! Tony Posted with eBay Mobile |

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
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.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
