This is a 1973 I incorrectly had it listed as a 72. The beetle has been stored in a garage for the past 16 years. I purchased it from previous owner about 2 years ago. It is a nice but not perfect. I do have the spare tire and another new tire not pictured. The tires that are on it are like new. It starts up every time and engine runs smooth. It does leak a little oil after you turn it off about 2 quarter size drips. Transmission shifts good and runs in and out of all the gears without problems. THERE IS however a vibration that you feel going down the road. It does not sound like metal on metal more like buzzing. I have not been able to figure out where it's coming from. It goes away when you make a left hand turn and at highway speeds above 60mph. I replaced the right drive-axel and all wheel bearings on the rear right side to try and fix the vibration. Still there. It is completely drivable but the vibration is annoying. Feel free to come and test drive it. Floors look solid. Lights, turn signals work. Radio not hooked up. Horn button below steering wheel , original horn doesn't work. Looks like this thing had AC at some point but it's not hooked up. I replaced the rear break hoses. Body has no dents. There are a few paint chips pictured that are being covered up by magnetic beetles. Looks good. 167,000 miles, I don't know when engine was last re-built but to me it feels like it has pretty decent power. There is a windshield wiper scratch on the drivers side could be taken out by you. I tried to take a pic of it. The passenger side has a chip filled in as pictured. I can take pay-pal or cash for full payment. I have way more then my opening asking price it this I wont take less. Thanks and good luck. 3 day auction!!

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
