I found this car in a shed in South Georgia. It has been setting for several years. The owner said it was running when he drove it in, but smoked a bit. I have not tried to see if it will turn over. I'm selling it as is, so I'm not going to check to see if it does or not, that way I don't have to tell a story. I can honestly say I don't know. It has a decent body and a good pan on both sides. There are two rust through holes in the body between the rear window and the rear quarter window. Appears like the shed may have had a hole in it on that side. Who ever reprinted this thing didn't have a clue how to paint, so a paint job is needed. The left front fender has had a lick at some point in time. The hood has two small dents that takes a second look to see. This car show no signs of crash damage, front or rear. There is a small hole about the size of a lemon in the battery tray. The heater tubes are fine also. The dash is unmolested and looks fine. This car came with dealer installed AC, but some time along the way the compressor was removed. The fuel injection was replaced with a carb also. It will need a front bumper and tires. One goes flat as quick as air is added so it will have to be trailered. This thing is a 1977 Standard Beetle. The seats are passable but the head liner is bad. Floor mats are good also. The doors are good and tight. The windows are good. The odometer is showing 35K miles, but it has surely turned over. I have tried to give a honest description of this car. If someone is going to restore a beetle this is a great start. It will make a nice car . I have it listed locally so I will pull this adv. should it be sold.
It has a $1200 dollar Reserve. Any questions, feel free to ask. Owen 850.556.0199
One of these pictures shows the driver side door panel with mildew. I show the same panel after it was cleaned off.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
