Barn Find: 25 Cars and Countless VW Parts Auctioned in Iowa

People restoring a car know only too well that sourcing parts, especially for foreign cars, is an expensive nightmare. Well, VW enthusiasts in the Midwest have caught a break. That’s because this weekend, Hoge Auctioneering will be selling off 25 classic VWs and more than a thousand parts.

The auction is taking place in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and all the items were found in a lumber yard barn. The cars are mostly from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, with the latest model being a ’77 Super Beetle.

6-11 006

Despite the wealth of cool VWs, there’s no denying that they’re barn finds, with all the negatives that that entails. A surprising amount of these, including the above-mentioned Super Beetle have no motor. Although there are more than 50 engine cases being sold as well as a bunch of engine hardware, so cobbling together an Ikea-style Beetle (Bjönshoop, $1,599 in the catalog) shouldn’t be too hard.

Other highlights include rims for Beetles, buses, and more, as well as a bunch of fenders for Mk1 and 3 Golfs and Jettas. Lights, fans, and even suspension pieces are also all available, and a whole lot more.

6-11.1 003

The sale is across from Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids, if that means anything to you, on Friday from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm and on Saturday starting at 9:00 am. The auction only actually starts on Saturday, with online bidding starting at 11:0 am Central time.

Anyone attending the auction is encouraged to share pictures and their experience of the auction by emailing sbell@verticalscope.com.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
