This is the first model year of the New Beetle. I bought the car new in November of 1998 and it's the cleanest 14 year old car you'll find. It's got only 65,000+ original miles, and I'm the one and only owner. I have all the service records and the car has been very well maintained. It's only been driven in MA for just one year; it spent the last 11 years in WA state on salt-free roads. In addition to being in great shape overall, it's never been in an accident or had any incidental damage.

The interior is in very good shape, the fabric seats have some wear but no rips or tears. There is ample headroom for front seat passengers, and surprisingly decent rear seat legroom. The rear seat folds down flat and can carry a lot of stuff that way (I've taken many ski trips in this buggy). It drives great and gets 30+ mpg, with almost every option available for this model year: A/C, cruise, power windows and locks, 17" alloy wheels, ABS and yes, a cassette player. Compare it to any similar vintage Corolla or Civic and you'll get far more for your money.

Everything in the car is original and in working condition. There are a few minor issues, including: the wheel insert hubs are missing their VW emblems; the passenger side fog light doesn't work (and is very difficult to replace, or I would have); and the passenger side power window switch is a bit loose, but works fine. The battery was replaced last year and the newer Michelin tires have < 10,000 miles on them (the first set of Michelins lasted 50K+ miles). This is a terrific car, perfect for VW aficionados.

Sales terms: you pick up locally and pay with cashier's check or cash only.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
