This is an immaculate 3rd owner 1974 V.W. Beetle (Bug)

We are selling this vehicle due to the fact we are moving out of state and we have too many vehicles to transport. As you can see by the photos this immaculate 1974 VW Super Beetle has been garage kept, and treated like one of our babies! I have done so much to this vehicle over the past few years that it is virtually impossible to name everything. The ENTIRE body is still all ORIGINAL, absolutely no replacement panels at all, this car is all original steel, not fiberglass replaced panels!! The paint was done back 3 years ago and is in great shape. There has been no attention to detail left out of this restoration, as we intended on keeping this vehicle for our kids one day, however we simply have too many vehicles to transport for our move.

The mileage on the odometer reads 94900, however all of the upgrades, and restoration to the engine were done at 84200 miles. (Truly there is right around 11000 miles on the vehicle since all the upgrades have been done).

The interior is completely stock with the exception of: Oil Pressure gauge, Tack-o-meter, and Voltage Meter, which you can see on the dash photos. It still has the original White Headliner in the vehicle with absolutely no rips, and is in great condition. The seats are all original with no tears or rips. The carpet and insulation has been replaced thru out the entire vehicle as the original carpet was showing signs of wear, and we decided we wanted to have it look like it was showroom quality.

The engine was completely rebuilt back in 2010 by Mid America Motorworks and some of the upgrades to the peppy little VW are as follows: New Big Bore Pistons and Cylinders, Rings, and Lifters. There is a new 110 Cam, Bearings and Even and New Crank. New Rockers covered with New EMPI Valve Covers. New Large Capacity Oil Sump Kit which adds 1.5 extra quarts of oil to increase oil supply, prevent oil starvation and increase cooling by far. New Upper and Lower Degree Pulleys, New 009 Distributor with Electronic Ignition and the Expensive Plug Wires (This in Another Detail that makes a Huge difference that so many people leave out of their restoration). New Bosch Blue Coil, Easy pour Angled Oil Filler, New Dual Manifold with Brand New Very Costly Webber Two Barrel Carburetor. There have been brand new jets installed and fine tuned by Motorworks, to feed the carburetor correctly. There is a New Electronic Fuel Pump (Mounted Under the Gas tank up front) and New Fuel Regulator Set at about 2.5. New Baffle and Hardware. As you can see I have all of the Specialty Cooling Tins installed on the motor that are so important that so many decide not to do. Of course, all New Gaskets, Seals, Bosch Super Plugs, Wires, Bolts and all the Hardware.

The Chassis on the vehicle has had the following upgrades and modifications done to make this beautiful vehicle even safer to drive on a daily basis. The Transmission was removed, Cleaned, Drained, Filled with New Gear Oil and then reinstalled. There are New Axles and all four Brand New Shocks were installed. Every brake component was replaced with New OEM Factory parts from Dual Master Cylinder, Four Brand new Wheel Cylinders, New Reservoir, to all New Brake Pads, and Shoes. Needless to say, it will stop on a dime. The Entire front end was removed, Serviced, Seals Greased, Cleaned, and Re Installed with all New Tie Rods, Tie Rod Ends, and a New Steering Stabilizer. I had Mid America Motorworks do a full Wheel Alignment including Camber ad Caster for that smooth straight ride. I put Brand New Aluminum 8 Spoke Rims, Brand New Starfire, Sport Metric 165R15 tires on this year.

You will be very hard pressed to find a cleaner V.W. online or anywhere else, as meticulous care and effort have went into every step of this restoration.

Should anyone have any additional questions or want to see any additional photos, please email before bidding. I would rather have ALL questions answered prior to anyone making any bids on my baby!!

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.

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
