This is a NICE Volkswagon Beetle. This 1968 custom Beetle was a body off restoration and every nut and bolt has been replaced. There is no part of this Bug that did not receive attention. The car was completed by the previous owner about five years ago there are around 4000 miles since the restoration. It has never been in inclement weather and has been garaged since the restoration. The body received significant attention with a complete restoration of the Floor Pan, including having the entire underside of the pan coated with Rhino Lining. Additionally all of the fenders are also Rhino Lined to ensure they remain solid. The windows were all replaced including One piece glass door windows. The rear turn signals were shaved and billet style running boards were added. The body was topped off by hand polished Spies Hecker Volcano Orange paint. The interior was treated to a Grant Rally steering wheel, hand sewn two-tone carpet, seats, and door panels. To eliminate one of the common complaints about bugs, the heater/defroster system was upgraded and an electric windshield washer system was added. The engine and transaxle is a 1776 cc engine with a custom painted fan shroud and engine tin. The 1776 was upgraded with an Engle 110 camshaft, Mahle 82 mm pistons and liners, headers and a jet coated exhaust. The transmission is a high ratio Free Way Flyer. The suspension was then addressed with front disc brakes and a 3-inch narrowed, adjustable front axle beam. The wheels are Empi custom with 145/15 in the front and 205/15 in the rear. This Bug is being sold "as is" and is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to terminate the eBay listing early should the Bug sell locally prior to reaching the end of the auction. Any shipping or other transportation requirements are the resposibility of the buyer. I will assist with shipping on my end.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
