1974 Superbeetle Convertible on 2040-cars
Menlo Park, California, United States

My dear buggy is up for sale -- I just have too many projects going on. She starts up every time, and runs very smooth -- I use her as my daily driver during the dry months. Always parked in the garage, and regularly maintained, mostly by The Buggy House in Hayward.
Not the original engine, nor the original color. New engine has about 8,500 miles on it. Odometer reads 49,536 because it's limited to 5 digits, but almost certainly has wrapped around once before, which is why it's listed as 149,536. Brand new bluetooth stereo with subwoofer is loud enough to hear your music with the top down on the highway. 1600cc engine will gladly do 70mph, and gets great gas mileage to boot (~35mpg, with mixed driving). Clutch and 4 speed manual shift smooth. Front lights upgraded to self-leveling Xenons, so you can actually see where you're going at night. Brand new battery has about twenty drives under its belt; also has a new fuel pump and injector. Interior is in great condition: seats are spotless, new door panels still shine, and relatively new carpet kit make this car a pleasure to drive. The top is in medium condition, and doesn't leak. The body is in OK condition, couple dents, and the paint could use a little love. A little investment would make this buggy a real head-turner. 1974 model year is smog exempt, so none of those headaches involved. Mechanically she's very strong and reliable. She does drip a little oil, but does not burn it. I would really like her to go to a good home that appreciates her as much as I do. Previous owner had her for 10 years, and felt similarly. Lots of spare parts included as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will cancel any bids from those who have less than 5 feedback unless you write me first. I'm happy to ship her anywhere, but buyer pays for shipping. If you want to see her in person, I am more than happy to facilitate that, and would be willing to meet you anywhere between San Mateo and Mountain View. |

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
