1968 Volkswagen Beetle With Factory Sunroof on 2040-cars
Eliot, Maine, United States
|
I'm selling my 1968 Beetle that I've own for 15 years. This car looks like it just drove out of the show room. Spent most of it's life in Georgia and has been stored every winter since it's been in Maine. So it's a very solid car. It's a daily driver and has a current Maine Inspection Sticker.
It has a Factory Rebuilt motor with approx. 3000 miles and the clutch was replaced at the same time. Interior was professionally done by G & L Auto Interiors with new custom seat covers and pads, oatmeal carpet, and new headliner. New EMPI style 8 spoke wheels with BF Goodrich T/A tires. New Starter. New Battery Functioning Factory Sunroof with new cables and pulleys. Blaupunkt AM radio in dash still works. Comes with many spare parts, including 4 extra VW wheels (like the spare in the picture). There is one area where the paint has bubbled just behind the drivers door. Floor directly under the Battery was replaced with a fiberglass replacement pan. It must be something that was offered back then as it is formed exactly like the floor pan. You may notice in the picture that the brake and clutch pedals are held in place by chain to keep them from falling forward. I've driven it like that for 15 years with no issues. There is a knob on the pedal assembly that has worn. The chain was an acceptable repair at that time (which my mechanic verified) so the assembly didn't have to be replaced. Vehicle is also for sale locally. I will end the auction is it sells. Maine does not Title a Vehicle of this age. I will provide a copy of the vehicle registration and a Bill of Sale. Vehicle is sold AS IS with no Warranty expressed or implied. Vehicle must be picked up locally. I will not ship. $1000 non-refundable deposit is due with in 48 hours of auction close. |

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
