 This is a great car for someone who wants to build that special show car as this car is a solid base or a fun daily driver.

You are bidding on a nice 1978 Convertible Beetle with original working stock fuel injection and 1.6l engine. New battery and tires. Paint is bright and original color, but car has been repainted, has a few small scratches. New battery and tires and shocks(rear). Top both inside and outside perfect. All glass in great shape.  The only problems are as follows; The driver seat vinyl is bad, took off seat covers to show that in photos.  Brakes are a little squishy, but work (except the passenger rear wheel), but no E-Brake functionality. Also the Odometer is non-functional, (speedo and other indicators work) so the title reads 00,000 miles. Note, I have the WA state plate, and car registered, just left the vanity plate on the car because its fun and this car really only sites in my garage anyway. And finally, the radio in the dash is loose. Works just fine, just needs to be bolted down properly

I bought the car as a fun project car and never really had the time to turn it into a show car.  Car is however a lot of fun to drive

The rear passenger side drum brake doesn't work, my plan was to convert all four brakes to disc via the JC Whitney kit but never got around to it.

Car is great fun to drive, and turns heads. The first thing people ask is if this is the original color, yes it is. In 1978, the Volkswagen Beetle came is some pretty vibrant colors, this Chrome Yellow is one of them.

I will bring the car to you if the range from zip code 98019 is less than 50 miles, otherwise you will need to make arrangements to come get the car.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members. Click on over to view the extensive gallery of high-quality images from Ran When Parked.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

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.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
