Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback 1973 Still Solid After 41 Years on 2040-cars
Low Moor, Virginia, United States
|
For your consideration a VW classic Type 3 Squareback in very nice condition for a daily driver or as a restoration project. The engine starts and runs, transmission shifts with no problems. Both have been checked out in a test drive. It has been lowered by the previous owner who also installed Airkewld Bad series disc brakes on all 4 corners. They are set up to receive a Japanese 5 bolt patterned wheel (Scion late model XB). Brakes work very well with this setup. The engine is equipped with Dual ICT's. The interior is in fair condition as the passenger seat is torn but the headliner, drivers seat, rear seat and door/rear panels are in good condition. The exterior is faded and has some very minor surface rust that can easily be sanded and repainted. "There is no rust through in these areas that are photographed" I tried to detail the condition of the rust in the pics so please examine closely and feel free to request additional pics, no disappointments! The Body is very solid and straight with minor dings but only a few. I could find no rust in the usual places for the T-3's and again I made an attempt to capture those areas in the pics. It also needs a front windshield, I have a new seal for it. All the additional glass is in good shape the seals would need to be replaced. Doors open and close evenly and solid. Electrical works, the PO also changed the front turn indicators for earlier model T-3's, an "ok" job but there it is! Please email with your questions or to request additional pics of specific areas. It also comes with a nice set of used BUDNIK custom wheels setup for the stock VW bolt pattern. Please understand this vehicle will need additional work to become road worthy but as it sits it's a very nice foundation for any Type 3 VW enthusiast!!! Don't forget to bring a trailer and Bid with confidence ...... NO RESERVE!!!!

2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
