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..

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show
Mon, Nov 17 2014Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? – and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
