1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1973 VW beetle, I have owned and driven this car everyday from 06/11 - 4/13 when the engine had a bearing issue and I removed it. This car really meant a lot to me and I have kept strict maintenance on it until 06/13. I really enjoyed this car while I was a student and traveling nurse assistant, now that I have a new job I just can't take the time to maintain this appropriately. I want to sell it to someone that will take care of it, I am going to be completely honest about it's condition. , please feel free to call me Noah Swift 717-273-1743 or e-mail at lebnoah@gmail.com.
----------------Pro's--------------- Minimal Rust Dash has no sun damage Both drive shafts replaced last year Totally replaced ignition switch and signal wiring in steering column Up to PA inspection standards on 5/13 No braking leaks or issues No issues with gas tank, rubber gas hose replaced recently (gas gauge float does not work sometimes) No stripped bolts on body or on trans-engine mount (transmission rubber boots intact, replaced last year) No electrical issues Shocks appear stock but I have had no issues with them. Four brand new Touring tires with professionally painted rim I put the transmission in myself in 2012, it was used, I bought it from a guy that was piecing a beetle in his shed for 600$. It does not slip, pop, or grind and the trans fluid is clear red with no burnt odor. I have crawled under it every summer and sanded off any rust,then painted with about 4 coats of Rustoleum. Besides under the battery, there is no floorboard rusting. I did this with the fenders as well. Left rear fender has some rust thru (photo) There are 2 stock seatbelts in the front with shoulder sttap, and I have installed 2 stock seatbelts in the rear. New Cards on doors and rear. The seats are used but reconditioned with 2 tears (photos) Headliner has no holes or sag, it is original. -------------Con's---------------- There is NO ENGINE, it does come with a new Sachs Clutch (photo) The steering shakes and should be restored, I am including a lot of the items needed for this (photo). If you are going to take the time to dissmantle the steering system this far I would recommend changing the steering box while you are up there, they cost about $100.00. Window rubber and body rubber between fenders needs replaced., Front and Rear window rubber is like new. Trunk and hood need re-aligned to open and shut correctly, all of the hardware is attached, it just needs reset. Minor dents and minor rust (photos) Speedometer cable is attached but nod placed into wheel.. speedometer does work. Rear Light is cracked and will need replaced. T-Bars (bumper bars) are not tightened down thoroughly, you will have to buy bolts from hardware store. The assembly or opening and closing heater-vent is not there, you will need to buy these assemblies, I was holding open the vent with twist ties all winter then removing them in spring. There is no radio, but it is ready to be connected to one and the speakers in both doors are new and do work. You will need to buy some flashing for e.j. the hood and the panel under the doors. The wipers work, I could never figure out how the wiper spray system works with the spare tire, but the assembly for this connection is there. There is a rubber seal in the engine compartment essential for proper engine use.. you will need to replace this rubber seal. --------------Included!!!!--------------- Brand new Sachs Clutch Set 1 year old Bosch Starter Electronic heater blower Spare Tire Two Rollers, Two tie rod ends, and new set of polyurethane replacement bushings. Two fan belts One condenser One acceleration cable New Battery 4 brand new Touring Tires with professionally painted rims and 4 dogdish hubcaps |

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
