Custom front to back; one of a kind.  Mack truck hood ornament(bull dog).  The first picture is to show "hubcap"/mag different look.  Has full mag rims that were painted black on the fronts by previous owner as all other pictures show (paint can be removed).    

  Not just a cruiser, but deserves a VW magazine front page.  Offers will be made to buy this at every meet or beach hang-out you go to.  I choose to sell it via this Ebay & Craigslist, but if I wanted to spend the time going to, and hanging at VW club/car meets, it would not be a problem selling at my price.    

There is no back seat or top (I'm sure one can be installed even if a roll bar is part of the plan; even small buckets/jump seats may be adaptable).  All carpeted with nice two fold middle split cover over battery & other floor well.  Starts & runs good.  No oil smoke; hardly any dripping.  Clutch & shifting good.  Two rear speakers.  Compare with dune buggys on Ebay.  My price is real close to upper end dunes.  And, do you really want an "A-typical" dune clone?  Ya seen one dune, seen them all.  A roll bar in my VW can adapt a bimini or similar sunshade targa, & work for surfboard, beach equip, etc. cool carry.


ALL NEW items:  floor pan, wiring, brake parts, *front disc brakes, axle dust boots & bearings, shocks(rear have adjustable springs), front end parts, stainless trim pieces on running boards, $800 in Kumho tires, chrome lug nuts with locking one on each wheel (key to locking lugs is stored in engine compartment which locks), and so on.  The battery is not very old.  Also includes a 100% waterproof elastic cornered, & vented storage cover (for event outside parking, etc.; it does keep car dry).


NEEDS SEAT BELTS.


 CLEAR TITLE/VEHICLE ID#.


THE LAST PICTURE IS WITH HUBCAP ALTERNATIVE . 


*****LOCKING STEERING WHEEL, WHEEL LUGS, & ENGINE HATCH.  ELECTRICAL CUT-OFF SWITCH TO ALL CAR FEEDS BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT*********                      ******                   *****       *************                                ****************


* WILL ALWAYS ::::: BEACH HIGH TEN .


* BEST BUSINESS PROMOTION ATTENTION GETTER. 


* GEORGIA BULLDOG TAILGATER THEME & COLOR.  


* WOULD LOOK EVEN BETTER WITH A CUSTOM ROLL BAR/SNAP-ON CANVAS BIMINI (THIS WOULD RAISE VALUE // EVEN BETTER LOOK FOR SURE).   I MAY BE PAINTING THE GRILL "CHROME" AT SOME POINT & INSTALLING NEON LIGHT EFFECTS IN GRILL GROOVES/UNDER RUNNING BOARDS (LOOKS LIKE THE GRILL WAS SILVER & PAINTED BLACK). 

^^^^^^^^*****THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST EBAY LISTING FOR AWHILE.  THINKING ABOUT TAKING TO THE SPRING TURKEY ROD RUN IN DAYTONA & LOCAL VW MEETS/CLUB EVENTS.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union

Sat, 30 Aug 2014

The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The 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.
