I am selling my 1976 Super Beetle Convertible. It is partially restored and I have taken it as far as I want to go. It is a daily driver and I mean that seriously! I drive it to work which is a 70 mile round trip. It drives down the road like a new car. I am not the type of bug owner to get the car so perfect as to be afraid of every scratch and paint chip. Some of you are. Professionally paint this baby and you’ll have a 15,000 car! The good: Decent paint done with a can. No shine but no drips. No body rust. Trim in good shape. Newer tires (about 5K on them) Chrome hubcaps and chrome wheels Clean interior with carpet on sides, rubber floor mats. New seat covers. Decent radio with speakers in door. New wipers One new tie rod, front bearings greased Engine removed and all gaskets and seals replaced Converted from FI to carb. New plugs, wires, distributor cap and wires. New engine compartment casket Heater boxes patched. Heat works great, even in Wisconsin Starts easily; couple pumps and it fires right up New electric fuel pump New spare tire. Jack and tools present Probably more but I can’t recall right now The bad: This is a daily driver, not a show car. The paint is even and consistent, just not glossy. To restore it completely, it should be professionally painted. The floor pans are rusty in places. They are patched (temporarily) behind the driver seat and where the battery is. The area around the frame head has some rust. Nothing that could not be treated and patched but the body would need to come off. The main engine seal (by the clutch) still leaks a little at high speeds but not while the car is just sitting. The vert top works and looks fine but has one hole on the right rear side that has been patched. There is also no interior lining. I have an extra new top that will come with the car. The new seat covers are the wrong style and do not fit like they should. Not a big deal though as they still look fine. |

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
