Being offered is our 1972 Volkswagen Beetle convertible in original, beautiful condition. It has never been restored, instead, it has always been garaged and lovingly maintained by an adult; when something needed to be replaced, it was replaced. We purchased the car a few years ago from a long-time owner and have put less than 100 miles on it since (we had a baby). The 4 speed transaxle, clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearings have less that 100 miles on them and was professionally done at a reputable European car shop near us in northern New Jersey. The top (insulated with headliner) was recently replaced, the front seats were recovered with original type, black vinyl, supports and cushions. Everything operates properly, all gauges work, the dash lights, even the interior light illuminates when you open the door. You can tell the car has been adult maintained as it was never ordered with a radio when new and remains that way – although in 1972, all VW’s came standard with an antenna should you wish to install one yourself. It had a repaint of its original Yellow color approximately 10 years ago and it still looks fantastic, there are no dents or dings in the paint and it shines beautifully. There is a slight crimp in the passenger’s side running board which may be decades old, please see the photo - it is simple and inexpensive to fix should you choose to. The car runs and drives extremely well and we would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. It still wears the original sized radial tires on its original rims and retains the original oil-bathed air cleaner and stock ‘pea-shooter’ exhaust. Try finding a Beetle that original! It easily passed the difficult emissions test for New Jersey and naturally is eligible for ‘Historic’ plates in any state. The engine was rebuilt approx 19K miles ago and a thick folder of receipts and service records accompanies the vehicle. We wish we drove the car more than we did. It needs nothing that we are aware of, runs and looks correct, smells clean, looks happy and is ready for its new home. Please reach out if you have specific questions or would like a specific photo. Thanks very much and good luck! Cheers~

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
