All original metal.. The beetle is a Formula Vee Beetle with it's original striping.. I bought his vehicle out of Butte Montana and it has been in storage since the early 90's. This is a 4 speed car..When I bought the car it came with no engine so I have been purchasing engine parts for this car and have a 1776 CC's engine almost complete to go with this car..I have purchased from Mofoco a late 1971 duel relief case machined (Still Std. Std. Std.) This case cost $600.00..I purchased Mofoco 42 heads also at a cost of $630.00.. I went with a new forged counter balanced crankshaft 69MM also new.. It come with a new Engle 110 cam and new Engle lifters & gears..The rods are rebulit German rods purchased also from Mofoco.. The jugs pistons and rings are also new as are the upgraded rockers and rocker covers..I purchased an Italian Weber IDF 40 for the car as well."

This is a very strong Volkswagen Beetle Formula Vee from 1972 with very little rust, original metal and paint.. This is a 4 speed and sunroof car. This car came from the dealer with the Formula Vee option which is very rare to see these days.. I have not painted the car because I wanted to preserve the Formula Vee striping as the concept with this car was for it to be a survivor, this decision was the right thing to do with this car per most of the VW Universe. I have put together a very nice 1776 engine with top quality parts from Mofoco including new 42 heads..Circa late 1971 duel relief case, bored out to 90.5 MM and align bored tested and such. Still spec out at Std. Std. Std...I purchased  a very nice Italian Weber 40 IDF Carb new Alternator from Bosch, new fuel pump and a rebuilt 009 distributor mechanical advance..new billit pullys..Nice original german tin.. New Kennedy stage II presure plate and 200MM clutch, New lightened flywheel, and new gland nut.  I have a New old stock German muffler and even two new old stock German heater boxes..All this engine needs to run is to have the rockers installed, distributor installed, coil and plug wires and a few misc parts.. The engine was put together this summer and all parts have been purchased with in the last 6 months.. The engine is sitting on the engine stand.. I also installed a  new 1.5 qt. oil sump and an external oil filter.. All the parts are new in this engine except for the rebuilt german rods and push rods.. The tin is used original German ,but much better than after market stuff... The Beetle also comes with the original Formula Vee wheels (4)  which believe it or not are 14"....This is a very nice example of a clean 1972 Volkswagen that needs finished.. I want this to go to a VW person who knows how to work on these and understands that the engine needs finished and that it needs to be checked out here and there..The brakes also need attending but the car has been in storage since 1993..It will come with all the tires inflated and ready to place on your truck.. I have just over $3K in the engine alone. I have over $5K in the complete package..I have lost storage on this car and I must sell it..I am asking a very reasonable price for this car.. I will work with the buyer on shipping and can store the car until the end of November in a dry garage at no additional charge..Questions fendertelenam   at Yahoo dot com or call 414-627-0473..I am Tom..Respectfully..............  NOTE  This Car Is A Standard Beetle it is NOT a SUPER BEETLE.. The listing will not let me make the correction...Car also comes with new carpeting in the box, a luggage rack and other stuff like repair books and such..**** Note this car Has a new counter balanced crankshaft with a 69MM stroke which will displace 1776 cc's wiith the 90.5 mm pistons.. I had the case machined to accept this which is the better prefered way to accomplish this modification.... Because of the vents under the front bumper of the car I have been told that this is a Super beetle but it is a Standard by title and by the interior..This car has all original pannels so I have no clue as to why the vents are there..I am a honest seller and I represent this as a stock body..I can not say why the vents are there or if they are supposed to be there or not...Tom.........................................Ok Men and Women in the VW Universe.. Being a very experienced VW Guy I will tell you that I looked long and hard before I  found this bug...They just dont come up like this very often especially at a realstic price... So if a VW project is in your future or you want a bug, this is finally" the one"... This is the one you have been waiting for... heck, the engine cost more than the asking price... So,  I suggest you dont let this one get away.. at this price you just can not go wrong.... This is the one.. it's just that simple..Tom... by the way in the Last four hrs i have 22 watches and 180 views... Someone needs to step up and claim the bug..

2016 VW diesels are still 'months' out

Fri, Oct 9 2015

Many 2016 model year vehicles are already for sale at dealers in the US but none of them have Volkswagen's 2.0-liter TDI. Don't expect to see the diesels on lots for several months either. The Environmental Protection Agency is preparing an onslaught of evaluations on the engine to make sure that it doesn't get fooled again, Automotive News reports. Before the new tests can even begin, VW must resubmit the 2016 diesels to the EPA, and the company isn't saying when that might be. The automaker took back the models' previous application after telling the EPA about an undisclosed software feature, according to Automotive News. There was absolutely no evidence that this was another defeat device, but the emissions agency wanted more information about what the tech's effect was. EPA boss Christopher Grundler has been quite clear about not disclosing any details about the new tests. He doesn't want to give automakers a chance to create more defeat devices, and the agency intends to evaluate diesels from other companies with more rigor, too. That process is already beginning in cases like subjecting the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax to on-road emissions checks. Once the 2016 VW models are certified, the EPA intends to run the same tests on the proposed repairs for the company's earlier diesels. That process could take months, as well, according to Automotive News. VW CEO Matthias Muller recently said that the first recalls likely wouldn't happen until January.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
