1972 Superbeetle, great restored running condition. Needs very little work for a complete restoration. If your are serious, please read on.... All rust on body, pan, wheel wells was professionally repaired by very reputable local VW shop including replacement of battery tray and front lower frame head. Very presentable older (5+ years) exterior paint (original red paint in interior and trunk), a few nicks and dings typical of a 40+ year old car that can be driven anywhere, but a real head turner standing 5-feet back or driving down the road. Strong 1600 Dual Port engine has no end play on main shaft. Good clutch and transaxle, car shifts very smooth in all gears. Transmission side and main seals replaced. Good CVC joints. New Solex carb, new correct distributor,new fuel pump, new exhaust system, new hoses and lines and engine wiring. Rebuilt starter, recent battery. Solid working heater boxes and channels, heat works perfect. All correct engine tin is in place with new engine bay seal and the thermostat and flappers work perfect, this car runs cool even after 100 miles on a hot summer day. All air ducts replaced, vents, cables and levers fully functional, even the defrosters work. Two-speed fan fresh air motor rebuilt and works as it should, wiper motor rebuilt and works, washer converted to electric pump. All NEW BRAKES just done including brand new drums all around, lines where needed and new front wheel bearings. Master and wheel cylinders all checked and in good non-leaking working order. New parking brake cables installed, handle rebuilt. New urethane front bushings and steering damper. New rear shocks, good non-leaking front struts. Tires on car have less than 3000 miles, comes with two extra new, unused tires, one mounted on extra rim and a brand new mounted spare tire in trunk, three extra tires in all. Gas tank fully cleaned and all lines and seals replaced, new sending unit installed, gas gauge works perfect. Car has NO gas smell inside or in garage, white plastic evaporator tank is intact and re-vented below car (sorry, the charcoal canister is long gone!) New TMI seat re-upholstery kit, front and rear. New 3-point shoulder belts and new rear lap belts. Nice original carpet and new mat set. Replaced interior door and rear side panels. Custom orange shift ball. New Dual stereo radio with SD, USB and Aux inputs, mp3 player/Pandora radio from your phone ready! Four new speakers with new kick panel baffles in front. New antenna too. Car comes with original working rebuilt Sapphire AM-FM radio and a new 5" in dash speaker if new owner desires to switch it back to original. Original working VDO optional clock! All lights on dash pod work as they should. New glove box liner. All wiring has been gone over and every thing works including back-up lights and dome light. New tail and parking light lenses and a new beep beep horn! Underdash Aux charging jack also added. Body has many new gaskets and all new fender bead installed. Car is fully undercoated. Good original door seals. All locks work, 3 sets of keys included. New trunk latch and cable plus custom emergency override cable installed in wheel well. Good trunk liner and nice custom carpet. Fresh chrome bumpers with NOS bumper guard strips, new dual mirrors and chrome hood trim, nice original side moldings. Nice new rear mudflaps and rare dealer aux rear reflectors! Car also comes with shop manuals and some spare parts, trim rings, see photo. Now for what I prefer to call projects for the next owner, not negatives. The engine does have some typical VW oil leaks, mostly from the push rod tube seals from what I can tell. There is also some white smoke at start up after sitting awhile indicating some valve stem seepage. Again, I leave it to the next owner to have a shop or him/her to do it yourself to overhaul the engine at some point with a new gasket and seal set. (if you know these cars, then you know it will probably leak again within months of rebuilding it, just the way they are!) The only other thing it may need is the original headliner has a few tears, stains and patches and the dash has a few caulked up cracks, part of the patina of a vintage car. These items are replaceable but up to the new owner to decide if they want to go that far. Present odometer reads 80,XXX, not sure if this is original, could be based on body condition, but may have turned over once, I do not feel this is an issue with so much repaired or replaced. Overall the car has had a lot of TLC, time and money invested over the past 4 years, as much or more than the asking price. Buyer to arrange all transportation of the vehicle. Willing to deliver within reasonable distance and then remove my plates. (Call first to discuss) $500 Paypal deposit required at end of sale. Balance by cash or certified bank check at delivery. This is a great running 99% RUST FREE East Coast Superbeetle ready for years of driving enjoyment with all the major work already done. You will find very few cars with as much done to them and everything working on them as this one at this price. This is a vintage car being sold as-is with no warranty of any kind but has been fully described herein. The car is located in Central New Jersey, about 20 miles from New York City. Test drives and inspections are welcome. Feel free to send any questions or call 908-447-1621 and ask for Jeff.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Volkswagen bringing new Tiguan to Frankfurt
Sun, Sep 6 2015As expected, Volkswagen will introduce the new Tiguan crossover at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. While the brand hasn't quite gotten on the endless teaser train, VW's German Facebook page has released a simple shot of the new crossover covered up on the Wolfsburg factory line. We're not able to learn much from the single image released by VW Deutschland, as the sheet being used hides virtually all the body's details. The caption for the image is no help either, simply saying that the first Tiguan for Frankfurt has rolled off the Wolfsburg line. So yeah, that's about it. But while this image isn't terribly informative, we already know quite a bit about the new Tiguan. Its looks will likely be inspired by the Cross Coupe GTE and CrossBlue Concepts, while additional body styles could be offered later in the CUV's life. For performance fans, there will likely be a 300-horsepower R model, in addition to the standard array of gas and diesel engines. Check out the image from VW Germany's Facebook page, and then be sure to head back in a few weeks for the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
