I have for sale a beautiful 1974 Volkswagon SuperBeetle.
-Very clean
-Runs beautifully
-Original Style Rims
-Original flip out side windows
-Brand new Kumho tires, less than 500 miles ago. I would say that they have at least 95% of tread left. It also comes with a spare tire without about 60-70% tread left. The only problem is that the rim will not allow it to hold air, so a new rim would be needed for the spare.
-Original radio is included, but does not work. I have a new radio in it, but it is a bit loose because I did not want to cut up the dash in order to fit it. It does not fall out while driving or anything. The radio has an AUX plug and comes with a AUX cable. Currently I have it wired for four speakers, one under the driver and passenger seat and two in the back. The car will come without the back speakers because they were a gift from a family friend, but the wiring will still be there and you will only have to hook up your own two speakers.
-Recently rebuilt carb and service from local VW Bug specialist.
-New electronic ignition distributor with vacuum.
-Original air filter

-Brand New Starter
-Has working fresh air blowers for cabin

This is a nice california car, and has very limited rust. The only rust spots are in the passenger door where there are a couple small spots where it rusted through (See Pictures). Underneath the body is solid, there was rust under the battery box which is very typical, but it was fixed. The running boards also have some light surface rust. The heater system is not connected but the heater boxes are there and would only need to be hooked up.

The car has had a recent complete carburetor rebuild. This is due to the fact that there was a small fire in the engine compartment. I had put some fuel in the carb to prime it one time, but there was too much. I had a fire extinguisher there and quickly put out the fire. After that I brought it over to the shop and had him completely rebuild the carburetor and check up everything. Everything is now completely mechanically sound and the only thing that remains is a little burnt paint on the deck lid (See Pictures).

This car drives great and still has the original interior. All the seats are original and because of this there is a little wear and tear on the back seat from sun damage (See Pictures). The previous owner also put on a dashboard cover. She also drips a few oil drops once in a while, like almost all of these older bugs do. The car comes with the original blue california license plates and with registration paid until September of this year. Another benefit of this car is that it's a Super Beetle and therefore the trunk in the front has quite a bit more room. This is an absolutely fantastic car and gets lots of looks and questions whenever I drive it.

The buyer is responsible for pickup or transport.

Head of dieselgate clean up set to leave Volkswagen after a year on the job

Thu, Jan 26 2017

After just over a year on the job, Volkswagen's compliance chief Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt is set to leave the automaker by the end of the month. In an announcement, Volkswagen confirmed the departure, saying the separation was due to a difference of opinions regarding the role and duties of the compliance chief. Automotive News Europe reports that there were frequent clashes between Hohmann-Dennhardt and senior Volkswagen employees. Hohmann-Dennhardt was brought in on last year to help manage the cleanup in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. She came over to Volkswagen from Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz. Before that, she served as a judge in Germany's constitutional court. Volkswagen hasn't announced a replacement.

VW Golf R pre-order sells out in less than 11 hours

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Volkswagen fans had to be pretty quick if they wanted to ensure their pre-order for one of the first 500 units of the 2015 Golf R to enter the US. The German brand opened the books online at at 12:01 AM EST, and according to company spokesperson Leigh Anne Sessions speaking to Autoblog, by around 10:30 AM EST all of them were snapped up. VW's pre-order page currently shows these vehicles as no longer available, and the company confirms the news on Twitter, as well. There's still a chance to get an early Golf R by signing up for the waiting list and hoping one of the 500 orders falls through. VW Customer Care will contact people if there's an opening. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This entire allotment of the Golf R comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with VW's adaptive damper system, navigation, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and more. To further sweeten the pot, the company is also giving these folks a watch, key chain and certificate with their vehicle's VIN. The 500 models were priced at $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery, but only $500 was required to reserve one online. The amount was refundable if a person backed out.

Elon Musk says VW scandal proves limits of fossil fuel cars

Fri, Sep 25 2015

Tesla Motors chief Elon Musk didn't appear to mince words when commenting on Volkswagen's diesel-emissions scandal when making comments at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy conference in Berlin this week, according to Bloomberg News. Musk called the news of scandal "obviously bad." He also used the opportunity to note that he thought the German automotive industry may be lacking when it came to getting its powertrains to cut emissions. Pretty tough talk in Berlin. Musk did note that, when it came to clean electricity generation, Germany was ahead of many countries. But he also used the occasion to note that global industries could do a better job addressing "the chemical constituency" of the world's air and oceans. Musk also spoke to the Belgian press about the VW scandal this week. Asked if people might lose their faith in green technology, Musk said that what the scandal shows is that "we've reached the limit of what's possible with diesel and gasoline. And so, the time, I think, has come to move to a new generation of technology." You can see his comments in the video above, starting at 1:12. Musk made these comments as the automotive industry reacts to news that Volkswagen tried to game the system by manipulating its diesel-powered vehicles to meet worldwide emissions regulations. VW has set aside $7.3 billion to address the issue, and has estimated that at least 11 million vehicles may have been programmed to cheat emissions mandates. As a result of the scandal, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn has stepped down and Porsche chief executive officer Matthias Muller has taken over. For those keeping track, VW sold almost 51,000 diesel vehicles in the US through the first eight months of the year. That is about eight percent less than a year earlier but is probably about three times the number of Tesla Model S electric vehicles Musk sold in the US (we say probably because Tesla discloses neither monthly nor country-specific sales). So, while this may not be a case of diesel envy, Musk did have a pretty wide-open shot to tweak VW and its reliance on diesel technology.
