1974 California Super Beetle - Volkswagen Special Model

Being SOLD AS IS.
Odometer reads 99117, but I know it has been around at least twice if not more.
I believe we are the second owners. Vehicle was sold out of Long Beach, California. We've had the car since mid 1970's and have been using it day to day as a commuter and errands vehicle.

Some problems listed, and these are definitely not all:

Original engine is frozen, I have not had any professional look at it. (no picture) - it won't turn over or push start.
Driver side door leaks (no picture)
Sunroof did leak, but was sealed with glue.
Bot doors, speaker has broken out, speaker covers are included and speakers are not any good.
Passenger side mirror - the mirror is missing - see picture
Passenger side plastic trim between fender and body - has popped out - se picture.
Original seats, back seat has original corduroy. Front seats corduroy was replaced. All of these have rotted out with age. The seat filling is falling out. Seat springs are felt. Seat covers are about a year old and in good condition.
The stick shift handle broke and a custom made orange pool ball was used.
8-track tape player / radio is original (dealer add-on?). It does not work.
CB player is not original, and was added in 1977. It does not work anymore
Tissue box is an add-on.
The two fog lights were an addition circa 1984. They were never hooked up and I don't know if they work.
The car exterior was painted once, the same color. It has peeled on the hood.
The exterior chrome is either missing or loose.
The original jack is included.
There is also a locking gas cap. Both the locking and unlocking gas caps O-rings are worn out.
Tires were purchased in January 2014

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
