Selling this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible project car. The car is being sold AS IS with no warranties. Matching VIN on Body and Pan but there is NO TITLE. It will be sold with bill of sale only. Buyer will have to apply for lost title. Condition of the body is really solid and straight. Aprons are really straight and the body does not show any signs of prior damage or cancer. The pans were very rusty and the floor plans were started to be replaced but not finished. Some floor replacement metal is included.. as pictured. The only other rusty spot is the rear package tray and will need a bit of patching.. otherwise pretty darn solid vert. Most of the top mechanism is there but will need to be restored. All the glass is there including rear glass window. The front windshield is cracked. The rockers and heater channels look nice and solid as do most of the vert support rails. The drivers rail looks super solid and the passenger side only shows some isolated rust spots. As you can see there are no seats or key. Wheels are 8 spoke empi with nice tires that are road worthy.
I've got a bunch more photos available upon request. Shoot me a message and I'll send you a link to more photos.
The motor runs.. I took the carb off, cleaned & installed a rebuild kit and gave it a gerbil bottle supply of fuel and hot-wired it and it started right up. Leaks only a tiny bit of oil. Motor is a single port. See the video here of the motor running. The fuel tank will need to be flushed out and a new fuel pump will be needed to run of the cars fuel system.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
