1976 Beetle Convertible 84,300 mile
This is a documented California car with low milage, it appears to be a 2 owner. We have a lot of receipts going back to 1998 . The beetle still retains its California smog equipment including the catilictic converter.(probably needs to be removed) This beetle runs really well and shifts like a beetle should. You have to give it 3 or 4 minutes to warm up at an idle, I am told that a simple fix for this is a $70 pre ignition part but it never bothered my wife or me. Paint is about 10 years old according to the receipt and looks very presentable, It is not perfect but then this car needs to driven to shows. The sills and inside of the doors, trunk and motor appear to be original paint and nicks and scratches have been touched up. Looks have newer interior running boards and carpet. Top will need replaced if you plan on using it up all the time. It has a patch I have included the picture , This hole was from being down up against the steel top all the time. We never put it up and it appears neither did the previous owner. We have VW books for the car including the owners pamphlet. Tires and brakes show about 2 years of age but only 1000 miles according to the receipts. Doesn't have the usual shake at 50 , wife has had it up to 70 and it cruises nice at 55 to 60 MPH. We drive this car and it gets a lot of attention everywhere we go, especially at show and shines or cruises. It is easy on gas and we are selling as a # 3 condition driver. It is a little better than that but use that as a pricing guide. Thank you and if you win this car enjoy and drive it! |

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
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.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
