Great restoration project. All the mechanical work has been done with the exception of the Catalytic Converter and the Muffler. Needs a new pop-top I was going to repair it but after research discovered that it is cheaper to replace the entire top as it comes with the seal which alone is about $80. The Odometer is broken and shows that it has 300,000 miles. I have had two different VW experts whom have said that the plastic gears had a problem of wearing out and causing the 100,000 mile number to roll over when the 10,000 mile marker rolled. I have also had both the mechanics assure me that it probably has around 120,000-150,000 miles on it based on the condition of engine. I have replaced the entire Brake system along with the entire fuel system including the tank, hoses, lines, injectors, and filler pipes. Tires, Alternator, Belt are new as well. There are a few pieces of surface rust that need to be sanded and painted but no frame rust at anywhere on the vehicle. The sink has not been used as far as I can see, I have never used the stove but after talking to a Park Ranger was told the connector has to be replaced often to avoid a citation.
I bought this car a restoration project but have neither the time or money to finish it now. Whomever purchases this vehicle will have a great car that is one of last of the air-cooled classic VW's ever made. Makes a great camping or road trip car or a quick restoration project for a quick profit. Happy Bidding!
Payment will be thru paypal and buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup in Chattanooga TN. The car is registered in Georgia which will not issue titles for cars over 25 years old. I have discussed this with the Tag Office and they said the sale with be fine with a Bill of Sale and the Registration. You will need to see if your state will issue a title or if you will just need to register the car.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
