1971 Volkswagen Beetle Florida Car 59,000 Original Miles Nice & Clean! on 2040-cars
Ankeny, Iowa, United States
This car is solid. I bought it in Pensacola Florida in August of 1997. It was a one owner car with 27,000 original miles. It looked like a new car. It had the original tires and wheels on it, so i put some new Kelley tires and American Racing rims on it for the 1100 mile drive home. It now has just under 60,000 original miles after owning for 17 years. The car is in great shape and solid. The heater works great since it has never been rusted out underneath. When you shut the doors, you can tell it's solid. The interior was perfect when I bought it, but after driving it a few years, the sun had baked the vinyl seats causing them to rip. I had the seats re-upholstered in 2005 with a velour-like fabric which look way better than the original tan vinyl in my opinion. After graduating from college in 99, i had a fresh coat of paint put on, but the original was really good. the first picture is from 97 after i brought the car home to give you an idea of what it looked like before i had it painted. It does have a couple small door dings in the back fender and small rock chips on the hood. Back fenders have small paint chips where the gravel guards would go. It runs great and has a new Kenwood cd player installed under the dash last year. The original radio is still in place and works, but is disconnected. It does leak oil and has since the day i bought it. i have the original owner's manual and paperwork from the original purchase. Everyone probably says this, but there probably aren't too many vw's like this that haven't been stripped down and fully restored. I'm getting rid of it because I just don't drive it enough anymore with two small kids. I would like to see someone buy it who can take care of it and drive it.
Shipping/pickup is up to you. I'll work with you on shipping and if you're within 200 miles of Ankeny, IA we can probably work out a meeting place.

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
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.
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
