CALIFORNIA CAR - RESTORED - NO RUST - RUNS GREAT - READY TO DRIVE
This beauty of a Bug was a pan-off rebuild and restore in 1990 by a San Francisco Bay Area beetle maniac. I acquired it in 1998 and had it as my daily driver until 2001, when I moved back to the midwest. Since then it has spent winters in the garage and summers driving country roads on the weekend. It has never touched salt and has no rust, including common troublespots like underbody, wheel wells and heat exchangers. It has 49,000 miles since the rebuild.
The car is built as stock including six-volt electronics. Some like to convert to 12v but I chose to keep it stock. It does have a 1600cc engine from 1968 instead of the stock 1300 but that's the only real change. I have a clean title to sign over to the buyer.
I recently cleaned and tuned the carburetor and it starts right up with the key, holds a great idle and runs like a champ. It goes up to 80 mph on the freeway and with a bit more tuning could hit high 80s.
In the last couple years the car has also had:
-Five new tires! Good clean rubber, hardly worn and in great shape
-New ignition system including coil, plugs, cap, points, rotor and cables
-New fuel system components including engine-compartment lines, filters and fuel pump
-New brakes including four new drums, all new pads and new or rebuilt wheel cylinders
-New battery this spring, with included 6V Battery Tender for winter storage
-Rebuilt carburetor
The car does have some minor body damage including some rubbed-off paint, a minor dent and a squished-in front end. Also the handbrake cable is currently broken and needs to be replaced. One photo shows a black front wheel - the spare happens to be on there, the white wheel is included, see images at link. That's it.

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?
Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
