I would love to keep it and tinker around with it but I just don't have the time or space to do it. The car hasn't been tagged since 2011 and was running and driving when I parked it. I tried to start it recently and either the starter or solenoid needs replaced or the battery that's in it is too weak to start it but I assure you it ran great when parked. I can't see finishing the project like I had hoped and just don't want to delve into starting repairs on it without completing the entire project. Before I parked it I did put all new wheel cylinders and brakes on it, put fresh oil in, replaced some of the rubber trim and a few misc. things I'm probably forgetting. It does need the top replaced, it developed tears around the rear glass window so I removed it but do still have it, it's a defrost glass and the connection is still there. The remaining part of the top is in fairly good condition and doesn't leak that I can tell. I think I have all the trim for it and can't see that anything in particular is missing but if in doubt, ask. The Champagne II edition came in Peach Metallic Red but it has been repainted at some point in a similar but not quite exact color. It has spent several years in a garage until recently and there are a few small rust spots showing up but nothing too drastic. The mileage shows 30K but I'm not sure if it's the original engine or not. The white interior is in pretty good shape with no major tears or staining but the door panels need replaced. The dash has a couple of cracks in it and probably needs a cover.
I'm not really a Beetle guy and don't know a lot about them but I'm happy to answer any questions or send pics of anything in particular you want just let me know.
The car was a blast to drive and it's hard to stop smiling when you're behind the wheel. People have told me the car is pretty valuable due to it's rarity but at this point I just need it out of my driveway, so my loss is your gain. Buyer will either come pick up the car in person or make arrangements to ship it to them at their cost.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
