1978 Convertible Super Beetle Limited Edition Champagne II

This car doesn't run anymore. Won't take too much to get her running again!

After I bought it we had it running and it needed a new muffler (which I never got around to having installed) but I wanted to do body and upholstery work before driving it. Life got crazy and the project got put on the back burner... you probably know the story already

I LOVE this car- I am very sad to let it go- but it's been a heartbreak in my driveway for years.

Looking for someway to make her shine again- as she is meant to ;)

Here is the info I remember (it's been awhile)

New floor pans were welded in and rust was treated.

A/C condenser is disconnected but in the car.

Heater boxes good.

I put a new top/headliner/rear window in. Still in great shape- there is some mold on the top- just needs to be cleaned.

The carpets were pulled out- I had planned to have it rhino lined rather than installing new carpet (I still think a foam lining is a better choice than carpet) 

Installed new upholstery on all the seats- they're in great shape.

Radio is missing- I had bought a new one but we never installed it and now we can't find it.

I don't think there's a spare tire- and I can't find keys (i'll keep looking- no promises)

Rear shelf was tossed- it too was moldy- you need to get a new one.

You'll have to tow it- rear tires do not hold air for more than an hour- the car has been sitting for 9 years- your going to need 4 new tires...

It's last owner gave it a maaco- I planned to bring it back to the original color- but never got to it....the maaco is flaking off

If you search Ebay for this model you'll find another selling one in Pristine Condition for $27,000!!!

This is everything I remember- this is a good car- but I make no promises and will not accept a return. I am clearly selling a car that does not run and needs work (and LOVE)

Ask questions!!!

Good Luck Bidding!

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
