You are looking at a 1972 Standard VW Beetle. This is not a Superbeetle. I realize the old joke that everyone has a California car. Well, this is NOT a California car, it is a Nevada car and I have the original owners manual dating back to 1972 to prove it. I truly believe this car to have 62k original miles. This car has been garage kept with Hagerty classic car insurance. I have owned this car for just over 4 years. It is a really nice solid VW bug. It runs and drives really well, and the transmission shifts just great. Janis, as my wife calls her, had a low compression engine. The engine was pulled and pistons and cylinders were replaced, along with new rod bearings and valve job with guides on the heads. All the basic tune up parts were done. Carb was rebuilt and I replaced the distributor with a new Pertronix SVDA from Aircooled.net. This distributor no longer takes points. It has made a world of difference. All brakes were replaced along with master cylinder and hoses. All new ball joints and tie rod ends, alignment and new tires were installed. It also has a recently replaced battery. It also received a new muffler and tailpipes. The VW runs and drives very nice. She has all the pick up to get up to speed of traffic with no problem. I had some trouble with dirt in the carb and pulled the tank and cleaned it. It came out nice. I replaced fuel hoses and filters. The paint was done about 4 years ago as well and hasn't been driven in any bad weather and surely not when there was a threat of salt on the roads. The interior is in pretty nice shape with great seats and new carpet. There are some slits in the headliner which is evident in the pictures. The paint job was not done to make a show car, rather a car that can be driven without worry. It's a nice job, not perfect, but it really turned out to be a good looking car. It's a good time to run this car around. There is no clutch pedal to have to fool with. If you have never driven an autostick, it gives you the advantages of a stick shift without the need to work the clutch pedal all the time. Very fun to drive and you'll get a lot of waves in the bright green color. My wife chose the color with the understanding that I insisted it be a nice bright color that is easily seen to avoid accidents. Hood latch cable should be replaced and the pass side seatbelt should as well. This car is being sold as is. I hate to see it go, but am only selling this along with a 73 Camper VW bus to make room for a new addition. This car is definitely a favorite, but the garage is full and we have no choice. Feel free to email me with any questions or for more pictures. Cash In Person. Buyer makes a $250 pay pal deposit upon winning auction and can pay remainder within 10 days. DO NOT assume the advertisement price is your shipping costs. Please research any shipping costs prior to bidding. For some reason, my shipping details are not coming up on the listing. The vehicle stays here until paid in full. If you plan to have this car shipped, please research this prior to bidding. I recently had someone win a bid from California, and then announced he couldn't afford to ship it. He saw the advertisement on the screen for some cheap shipping quote and didn't read it. Only assumed it was accurate and then I had to relist it. I have set this up with NO RESERVE. A bit of a risk, but it needs to go. Thanks for your consideration. |

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
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.
