Condition is very good considering the year. She had a minor restoration a few years ago. She starts easy and runs great. Clutch and transmission are smooth. Paint shows well still has a nice shine but grey is not the original color. Original color is an orange/yellow color. It has been grey for at least 15 years. It has a couple cosmetic flaws that you will see in the pictures but it's nothing major. Car is very original and has never been hit. Undercarriage is clean and solid. Fuel pump and battery are a couple years old. Rubber floor mats are brand new...
Now for the bad. Car leaves droplets of oil from time to time. There are no headrests and the front seat belts are missing. Also I can't get the front and passenger seats to slide back and forth maybe someone else can figure it out. The convertible top is in good shape other than a couple patches. 3 out of 4 tires are excellent. 1 is fair/good.
This is a one owner car. A 96 year old man in my neighborhood bought the car new. He absolutely adored this car and only drove it summers since I can remember. Due to his recent vision impairment a family member of his sold me the car. I have the original mass title dated 1979. I bought the car with intentions of cruising around in it but now realize I don't have the time to tinker with a 2nd vehicle nor do I have the room hence the reason I'm selling it. If you have any questions don't hesitate to call me at 4one3 four55 7zerozero1.....I'm putting my number like this because of the scammers that text.
I prefer to sell the car locally but if you are from out of state I'll be willing to make arrangements with you as long as buyer is making the arrangements and covering the costs for shipping. I have a right to end auction early as it is listed locally for sale.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
