1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle Base Sedan 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:99999 Color: of the vehicle has some minor dings
Location:

I have a 1974 Super beetle in decent condition but needs work.  The exterior of the vehicle has some minor dings, and over-spray on the rubber.  The floor pans are in good shape but the battery pan had been rigged by previous owner.  Tires are in great shape with lots of tread left.  Needs fender beading installed, but the rest of the rubber is in place.  The drive-train is in good working order.  Trans-axle is an auto-stick that shifts great and the engine is a dual-port that runs well but may need a tune-up.  The interior needs carpet installed, needs radio, and also some wiring straightened up.  The bug has a new battery less than a year old.  The front end had recently been redone and handles good.  The seats and head liner are in good shape with no tears but the passenger seat needs to be put back on the tracks.  I would recommend the car be towed but it will drive up and down the street.  This car is a great fixer-upper with a a lot of potential but I don't have the interest or time for it.  Happy bidding and if you have any questions feel free to ask.     Jeff

Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The 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.

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
