1974 Volkswagen Karmann Super Beetle Convertible-rare! on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
This car is a real eye catcher! A rare, classic Karmann Super Beetle Convertible! Beautiful candy apple red paint has held up very nicely through the years, with just two minor areas of paint chipping, inclusive of what looks like a tiny crack, which could be the result of the paint chipping. This is a super fun car to drive, is mechanically sound, with great acceleration, smooth shifting, great gas mileage, and no noticeable oil or fluid leaks. It looks like a very happy car, with a big smile. It's a smooth ride-feels like it's gliding down the road. Have taken good care of it since ownership, with all maintenance records on hand. Some slight shaking has just started, not consistently, but just on occasion at speeds of 55mph or higher, may need a front end alignment at some point in the future, otherwise, it steers straight, with no veering to either side. Mostly just cosmetic issues, like a small tear in the convertible top (see photo), minor paint chipping in two small areas (see photos), and a few of the door panel clips have fallen out that contribute to securing the door panel .
The convertible top is a thick, black vinyl on the exterior, with white, leather lining on the interior. Beautiful red carpet throughout the interior, and inside the trunk, which is inclusive of a spare tire, and a car cover. The interior also is inclusive of a removable floor console with cup holders, and a black leather gear shifter hugger. Seats and door panels are leather and cloth mixed, very nice! Please refer to enclosed photos for a closer look. Car is located in Dallas, TX, with all shipping costs/fees paid by the Buyer. |

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
