1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Base Convertible 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Carmel, Indiana, United States
Get ready for Spring! Its time for a top down cruise. 78 Beetle Convertible, from California, (I purchased it and had it shipped from California it has been stored in heated garage since) 4 speed, with 85,000 miles, Mars Red with Black interior even have owners manual and lots of receipts and documentation. This is a nice survivor / driver, or easy showroom restore. Over $8,000 invested. ABSOLUTELY NO RUST, even the floorboard under the battery is completely solid and original!!! Engine has about 3500 miles on a rebuild, fuel injection, mechanically this car is almost perfect. It has new brakes wheel cylinders, and master cylinder, electronic distributor, cap wire, plugs, tires, seats have just been redone, new carpet, along with a new top, with all new headliner, and pad. FM/AM Stereo with cassette and AUX input. Some of the things I was going to do to complete a showroom restore, was an alignment (steering wheel is off center), rear wheel bearings (RR is a little noisy) and paint. I have the wheel bearings and if I get time I will be installing those, the paint is faded and has chips but is still shinny and presentable. I have many parts and rubber parts purchased to complete the restore. I have just run out of time to enjoy it (5 kids) and need the space. Call or text 317-341-4525. This is a great bug!! I have this for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel this auction if the car sells.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
