Find of the Day: 1989 Jetta Coupe 1.8t

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Sometimes going big isn’t the best course of action. Sometimes it’s better to have a clear vision and execute it effectively, even if that means being reasonable. That’s because sometimes the result turns out to be this 1989 Jetta Coupe.

Being sold by forum user jaysvw in Arizona, you could almost say that this Jetta had just been cleaned up. That conceals the amount of work that really went into this, but cool things are always cooler when they look easy.

With shaved side markers and antenna hole, euro bumpers—Euro OEM out back and Euro aftermarket up front—smoked E-Code headlights, the spoiler from a GLI, and trim sprayed black, this Jetta looks simple and elegant. And with H&R ultra low coilovers and BBS RS 16 inch wheels, the stance is just right, too.

The wheels, though, hide the front brakes from a Corrado G60, while under the hood the 1.8t with a stage 1 tune has been put under the hood. Again, jaysvw hasn’t gone nuts, but that’s okay because he’s given the Jetta more engine without giving it more engine than it can handle.

And for this black and white beauty, he’s asking $8,000. Check out the full listing on the forum.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
