PLEASE KEEP THREAD CLEAN - SERIOUS INQUIRIES
It will be at Eurowerks Show June 12th - unless it sells before then.
1979 Golf Gti - German Import
Inari Silver - yes it looks green but that is what VW Called it
1.6 Heron Motor - 110hp - Complete rebuild
330,000 Kilometers on the Original Cluster - 1000 miles on the car since complete restoration
13x6 steel Wheels with new TIRES - full size spare as well.
Body: Shell stripped to bare metal and sprayed with Sikkens base coat/clear coat. Color is Inari Silver metallic. 1979 was the first year that Inari Silver metallic was offered as a GTI color in Germany.
Engine: Original "EG" code, 110 hp 1.6 liter (date coded May 10, 1979), completely rebuilt. New pistons (+.050 mm), new crank, bearings, oil pump, etc. Complete new old stock (not rebuilt) heron head and "G" grind cam. External thermostatic oil cooler and euro fuel distributor.
Exhaust: Large flange GTI dual outlet manifold and matching long dual down pipe. The remainder of the system is an OEM style GTI system with a center resonator.
Transmission: 4K close ratio 5 speed with 0.75 fifth gear. New bearings and seals. (May 1979 was the last of the 4 speed cars. Short Shifter is also installed. All shift linkage bushings replaced.
All of the other mechanical systems, chassis, suspension, brakes, cooling and electrical have been refurbished and parts replaced with OEM type components (Sachs, Boge, Meyle, etc.).
Interior: Correct tartan seat fabric from Germany. Molded plastic dash, 220 kph speedometer and seldom seen in-dash vacuum gauge. Rear shoulder belts and center lap belt.
There are 3 options - a sunroof, the in-dash vacuum gauge, and a Blaupunkt M-U-ARI radio. Also included is the German owner's manual, 1979 sales brochure, price list, and the German "bildkatalog" for the 79/80 Golf.
I have some extra stuff I have bought for the car but not installed like Rear Golf Gti speaker trays , front cabriolet style door / speaker pockets and other misc stuff sitting in my garage that will be sold with the car.
I also have a few sets of Old School Aftermarket Wheels - available to buyer at additional cost
The car and restoration are featured in an 8 page article in the February 2010 issue of Hemming's Sports and Exotic Cars magazine, which I have PDF's available for serious Buyers available via EMAIL.
I also have Photobucket links to 100's of pictures of the car during its restoration. I just decided to list the car - here 20 minutes ago so I am just using Photo's of the car from when I bought it - which is looks the exact same anyways - I have some newer pics of it in my driveway, etc.. But these pictures look great so i used them. Updated pics available by request.
Here are links to restore pics:
