I have an original 1973 super beetle(72 design early design) marina blue in color, indigo blue interior. I have all registration from date it rolled off show room until it was stored and I purchased it. I drove this to work everyday until I lost my job and cannot afford to continue to repair the age of the vehicle. when the original owner passed away it sat in probate court until auctioned and purchased by me.
The Good
I have redone the ignition have replaced all brake lines, ignition was changed to electronic magneto style ignition(still have all the original parts), tires are in good condition 7/32, has dealer original a/c needs new still runs fans work needs conversion to r-134 and hosing, pulled and de-rusted gas tank, tune up, transmission flush, new wheel cylinders
The Bad...
It doesn't run. I am getting too many Ohms to the ignition coil for it to be able to fire the spark plugs. it maybe a pinch or something else in the original wiring harness. there is no headliner. someone for the auction redid the seats, headliner and put a cover in the dash. In the process they installed the headliner wrong and covered up the holes for the cab light and handles in car. it was also starting to fall and didn't look right.
The dash is a bad cover up they covered the heater holes and such. I don't know what the dash looks like underneath .
The seats were very well done they are done correctly and nicely. Problem is the rear seat has never been sat in, in its life. When they redid the back seat they added padding to take out the depressions where your behind goes and now you cannot use the seat belt because you are up to high.
the radio doesn't work I don't know why I haven't dived into it. It is the original radio. I haven't been able to pull it because there is an a/c system in the way.
The Brakes where bleed and paid for to be bleed. They claimed there was issues with brakes and said that is why they couldn't bleed them. Problem was they bleed backwards. its a dual plunger master. so no brakes up front and tons in back. I can fix just haven't.
can get all electrical fixed within 7 days of selling at no extra cost.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
