This is just a wonderful example of beautifully restored Volkswagen Bug with some tasteful custom options. Restored a few years ago this bug was built to drive and enjoy. Mechanically this wonderful bug is in excellent condition. The motor was rebuilt and up graded to a 1600 Dual Port With a new 34 Pict Carburetor and Heavy Duty Clutch. The motor also has the CompuFire Electronic Ignition and has just had a Major Tune-Up including Oil Change. I was told that the motor doesn't have many miles on it, but didn't receive any paperwork with it. The compression is 115 to 120 on all four cylinders. I have included pictures of the engine as well as the valve train showing just how clean it is inside and out.The bug was also converted to a 12 Volt Electrical system and has a new starter and battery. The Transaxle was rebuilt as well, and is the freeway flier style with taller gears to match the motor. There is a new adjustable front end with all new tie-rods , heavy duty sway bar, KYB shocks, King and Link pins. The brakes are like new as well with new brake lines,e-brake cables, and shoes. All the electrical works, including headlights, tail lights, turn signals, stop lights, and wipers. Another very cool feature is a working locking ignition switch which locks the steering...Very Rare.
The body and floor pan is rust free and in excellent condition too. All the window seals have been replaced as well as the door seals and window scrapers. The interior has been redone too with nicely reupholstered seats, new carpet and door panels. About the only flaw is the head liner which has some tears that you can hardly see. So I'm including a new headliner with the car, along with a car cover, and front bra. This great ride also has a fantastic hidden stereo system with a Pioneer Face-Off Cd Player, Infinity Speakers, A Sub Woofer and Amplifier all professionally installed and tucked away where the only thing you see are the rear speakers.
This bug looks really sharp rolling on the polished Empi's complimented by the custom running boards. Now top that all off with the too cool retro wooden roof rack and you are riding in style. I really dig driving this bug, it's just so right and tight. It just feels good, great power, shifts, smooth, stops straight, great tunes, what more could you ask for? People are enamored with this bug everywhere it goes and want to check it out and tell stories of their VW experiences. .
If you're local and serious you're welcome to set up a viewing and test drive. I am open to offers on my Buy It Now but will only negotiate in person or over the phone and will only sell through my E-Bay listing.

Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
