Newbern, Tennessee, United States

This is a 1971 Volks. Weekender (metal top = no leaks!).  I purchased the Bus in 1997 in Florida.  Body is very sound, with minimal rust for its age.  One bad spot in floor, drivers side(installed a metal plate when I first bought it, had no problems).   The odometer has 23,926 miles, I would assume thats 123, but have no idea as I am not original owner.  Rebuilt original engine has 40,000 miles and has been in garage for the past 5 years (not driven).  Ignition switch went bad when I parked it, have new switch hooked up but not mouted.  Motor runs great, has minor modifications:  2 barrel weber carb, step cam to keep up with interstate traffic!  Brakes are good, and lights, including interior and dash work.  Rear tires are like new, front are worn on inside(front end may need attention, but I couldnt tell from driving it).     All interior (including camping equip) is original Westy equip.  Interior needs minor TLC as you can see by the pics, cat damage to rear bench seat in corner.  Great daily driver, and with a little attention would be a eye-catching weedender!  
Also have lots of extra engine parts and some extra camp gear pieces, such as ice box pieces and also have the canvas cot that goes across the front seats(mounts are in place).   Purchaser responsible for pick up, Bus is located in Newbern, TN, any questions please email at seratt@cableone.net or call (731) 445-3573
Thanks for looking,   Jason

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
