Nice VW Beetle restored in 1998 and garage kept since. Only driven a few hundred miles a year. Original odometer was replaced in 1998, new odometer states mileage since car was rebuilt and reads 2491 miles. Car had a rebuilt 1600cc stock engine and rebuilt manual transmission installed, wheel bearings, brakes, and front end rebuilt, new tires, new paint, new interior, new carpet, Sony CD player and new speakers added, etc. all in 1998. Car was recently started and driven with no mechanical issues. Engine could probably use a minor tune-up but the entire drivetrain has been rebuilt/replaced <2500 miles ago and the valves were adjusted professionally last year. There is a small amount of bubbling of the paint near the rear windows and a few areas where scratches in the paint have been touched up on the vehicle. The interior has a few marks and small tears and there are a few small chips on the dashboard. The car was only driven in warmer months so the heater boxes and vents are not currently hooked up or running. Wiring harness and fuse block were replaced and the car does need some electrical work as most but not all electrical switches, etc. are working at present. Car does have a brand new battery. The hood latch and cable as well as the release lever and glove box were all recently replaced with new parts but need to be installed/adjusted. Car is very nice but is an older car and does have a few issues as indicated and as such is being sold as-is / where-is. It is available to inspect in person, so if you have any questions on the condition please feel free to contact me or come see the vehicle in person. I have a VW Beetle specific tow bar (can be used to tow the vehicle behind a truck/motorhome), a car cover, some documentation, and 2 boxes of original & spare parts that will be included with the car.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
