This 1970 Volkswagen Standard Beetle Karmen Cabriolet convertible is in really nice rust free condition. Runs drives and shifts great and is very dependable, the previous owner put a new top/headliner and upholstery a couple years ago and they look good, no rips or visible wear. It appears to have a replacement single port 1600 motor (with a non vw engine serial # plate), that leaks a little oil at the pushrod seals as they all do, but with rebuilt carb, new points, plugs, wires, coil, condenser and cap it starts every time and runs well, it has an after market header . Also appears to have replacement full floor pans, the under carriage looks awesome. It has Empi 8 spoke wheels tht look good, the tires are old but do have tread, The paint looks decent but has some surface rust (not rust thru) around the windshield and on hood (see pictures) it was a mediocre paint job when it was new. Doors and top work great and all electrical accessories are in good working order. It also has new brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders and brake pads/springs clips. This is a good driver quality car that needs minor attention and tlc and is an excellent candidate for restoration. It is a ball to drive and always is the center of attention Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or to see the car. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and costs, I will assist with shipping preparation and loading. Thanks for looking, good luck and happy bidding, Brian

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
