Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Needs cables replaced on emergency brake lever, crack in roof but NO LEAKS, needs paint job, if you have owned an old VW Bug before, or fixed them, then you are aware of the engine leaking a little bit of oil when they are run too fast. I am tightening all of the nuts on the engine and around the oil pan, but the shops I have taken her to said that it is a very minor issue to begin with."

I am selling a beautiful 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. Her name is Bella, and she runs beautifully. She is an old girl, so of course she needs to be taken care of as such. I bought her from a couple who took great care of her. Since I purchased her earlier this year, I have taken her on a number of road trips, and she has never failed me. I just took her into a local mechanic, and they said she is in beautiful shape with no oil leaks. She has a beautiful interior, with custom paint on the dash. She has speakers, but no subwoofer or stereo. All of the hooks ups and grounding cables are included with her. If you drive her right, she will get you 30mpg. She takes a couple of minutes to warm up when you start her. She does need a paint job, but she still looks beautiful with her maroon and white paint.

Her tires are practically new. I had to take the tire studs out come April, but the tires are in perfect condition with tons of tread left (no leaks). She also got a nice ding on her left front side (not a big dent) that could be fixed before painting. She has a spot on the roof that is cracking, but NO LEAKS and can easily be fixed. She just recently had an oil change. All lights work, brakes work perfectly, and she is ready to drive!

Here are some of the upgrades that have been done:

INTERIOR

Headliner (Birds of Norway)

Door Panels (Birds of Norway)

Wolfberg edition stirring wheel with custom paint to match

Dash pad removed to reveal VW's beautifully shaped metal dash

All the pulls, switches, ashtray, oh shit handle, ect. have been modified to fit the metal dash

New headlight switch installed

Custom hand-fabricated dash inserts which house 3 guages:

Auto Shift tachometer with ADJUSTABLE shift light!

VDO oil pressure gauge

VDO volt meter gauge

Oh-Shit Handles (all 3) have multi scheme paint or headliner trimming wrapped to match

Trunk release lever rerouted near the gas pedal for easy foot pressure release

Back-up trunk release hidden under the right front fender

Fire extinguisher mounted under the dash, easy one hand accessibility.

Kick panel speakers

Custom 2-Stage, 3 color paint scheme throughout interior

Heater cable tubes reamed out

All new HEATER cables (EVEN THE DEFROST WORKS!!!)

New heavy-duty window cranks

New Speedo cable

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

Replaced the original flimsy heater pipe with New Stainless Steel Flex Exhaust Pipe (ceramic coated black)

Air intake filter

Chrome Carburetor Cap

Aftermarket oil circulation system (most vw don't have this, it's a huge improvement)

Ceramic coated engine tins

Newer exhaust

Rally race crankshaft pulley with degree notches

VDO oil pressure (dual) switch so you have the pressure gauge and the dummy light still operates!

TRANSMISSION

Short shifter (Scat) short throw shifter easy shift (AWESOME, a must have for the V-dub)

New CV Joints

New clutch cable

WHEELS

Custom paint to match

Chrome Moonies on all 4 wheels

Newer wheel bearings

Tires with 80% tread left on them

Newer brake pads

New metal brake line from front to back. Newer rubber brake lines to all 4 wheels. Bled all 4 corners.

EXTERIOR

All body beading removed and panels aligned

Stainless Steel SS eye lids, eye lashes

New left side view mirror

All chrome is there

The only thing that needs to be fixed on her is the emergency brake. It only needs two new lines replaced and it will be good to go! :)

I need to sell her ASAP, so I have lowered the price from $4000 to $3300 - will accept some lower offers. I am about to give birth and need to find a new home for her soon. Clear title! Tags good until 2015, if you live in Oregon.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
