You are bidding on a very nice, unmolested, rust free, 1975 VW Super Beetle Convertible. The cars runs well and has been garaged. It has plenty of pep, no smoke, tracks well, does not drift, stops well, shifts well, and is a lot of fun to drive. Everywhere it is parked, comments abound. It is not a frame off restoration or concourse vehicle; it has the normal wear and tear of a daily driver. It is very well preserved and myself and the previous owner put a lot of time and money into the car to make it nice. I am selling only because I need to thin out the stable for an impending move to Tennessee. This lovely car must go. A list of what has been done by myself or the previous owner is listed below and in no particular order:
Converted to carburetor by previous owner: early fuel injection units were problematic. Front brakes converted to disc by previous owner: Karmann Ghia exact fit New quality fabric top and exact factory color repaint job by previous owner: superb quality New quality fabric black boot to cover top when down New brake pads and chrome wheel covers New fuel gauge and bulbs in speedometer Rebuilt heater and defroster system: cables, ducts,levers,rods, etc. New halogen headlights and very bright New carpets in trunk and throughout car Seats front and rear professionally restored Clutch adjusted and replaced by previous owner. Front wheel bearings repacked, one wheel cylinder replaced New battery tie down, cables, points, condenser, plugs, valve adjustment, oil and transmission fluids changed New rear shocks Original Radio Rebuilt professionally New windshield washer system installed (electric): red button on the dash Parking brake adjusted, new fuel cap Various interior parts replaced: Grip for top, arm handle, outside mirrors, inside light, horn rebuilt Two separate talented VW specialists went through this bug and we literally fixed whatever was wrong. I was going to have the engine overhauled and both said I was wasting my money. The car just runs that well: It starts right up, shifts well, and is fun to drive. Everywhere I drive it, park it, or stop at a stoplight: I get many compliments and stories about their bug.... I have priced the reserve very fairly and will not divulge it. Including the cost of the car, I have over $16,000 invested. Issues: fuel gauge reads 3/4 full when it is full. Not much else comes to mind: body is in great condition; no rust on floor pans, underneath looks great. I will apologize in advance for some of the pictures will be rotated and I have done my best to fix them but to no avail. |

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
