Volkswagen Super Beetle
I purchased this Super Beetle 5 years ago as a
restoration project. With the exception
of investing over $2700 in documented repairs I have not done the
restoration. My repairs have included: - Complete
tune up - Rebuilt
carburetor - Adjusted
and inspected ignition system - Removed
valve covers and adjusted valves - Cleaned,
sealed and reinstalled valve covers - Removed
and cleaned gas tank and checked for leaks - Replaced
steel fuel lines and hoses from the gas tank to engine In addition the complete brake job was completed and
additional OEM parts purchased and will be included in sale. A new dashboard is included in sale but needs to be
installed. Vehicle
History This VW was originally purchased by the S. Cunard
& Company Ltd. of Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) in May 1973. This is documented by the original owner’s
manual included with the sale. S. Cunard
& Company Ltd is the parent company of the ship line that owns the Queen
Mary and other known sailing vessels. I purchased the vehicle from an individual in
eastern Ohio in July 2009. He had just
had it repainted and added new tires. He
had used it as a daily driver to and from work for several years. I drove it over 300 miles home to Michigan
and it drove like a champ on the highway doing 55 plus miles per hour. Since then the above listed repairs have been
made it drives even better. It has been garage kept and has never seen a rain or
snowflake since I purchased it in 2009. I have had nothing but fun driving it during the
summer months. I have not put over 2500
miles on it in the time I’ve owned it.
It has been started biweekly during the winter months. It starts usually on the second crank and
purrs like a kitten. I have included numerous photo’s that show the present
state of the vehicle. Among these photos
are shots of surface and cosmetic flaws.
I have attempted to give a true depiction of the vehicle. The odometer currently reads 51,421 which to
my knowledge is the true mileage. I
would recommend a new spare tire be purchased to replace the existing spare. The interior is in exceptional condition with the
only exception of a small tear in the rear headliner shown in the photo
included in the listing. New front seat
belts have been installed. If you have any questions please feel to contact me
at 248 345-0011. The car possesses a clear Michigan title. Payment

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
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.
