You are bidding on a very nice, unmolested, rust free, 1975 VW Super Beetle Convertible. The cars runs well and has been garaged. It has plenty of pep, no smoke, tracks well, does not drift, stops well, shifts well, and is a lot of fun to drive. Everywhere it is parked, comments abound. It is not a frame off restoration or concourse vehicle; it has the normal wear and tear of a daily driver. It is very well preserved and myself and the previous owner put a lot of time and money into the car to make it nice. I am selling only because I need to thin out the stable for an impending move to Tennessee. This lovely car must go. A list of what has been done by myself or the previous owner is listed below and in no particular order:
Converted to carburetor by previous owner: early fuel injection units were problematic. Front brakes converted to disc by previous owner: Karmann Ghia exact fit New quality fabric top and exact factory color repaint job by previous owner: superb quality New quality fabric black boot to cover top when down New brake pads and chrome wheel covers New fuel gauge and bulbs in speedometer Rebuilt heater and defroster system: cables, ducts,levers,rods, etc. New halogen headlights and very bright New carpets in trunk and throughout car Seats front and rear professionally restored Clutch adjusted and replaced by previous owner. Front wheel bearings repacked, one wheel cylinder replaced New battery tie down, cables, points, condenser, plugs, valve adjustment, oil and transmission fluids changed New rear shocks Original Radio Rebuilt professionally New windshield washer system installed (electric): red button on the dash Parking brake adjusted, new fuel cap Various interior parts replaced: Grip for top, arm handle, outside mirrors, inside light, horn rebuilt Two separate talented VW specialists went through this bug and we literally fixed whatever was wrong. I was going to have the engine overhauled and both said I was wasting my money. The car just runs that well: It starts right up, shifts well, and is fun to drive. Everywhere I drive it, park it, or stop at a stoplight: I get many compliments and stories about their bug.... I have priced the reserve very fairly and will not divulge it. Including the cost of the car, I have over $16,000 invested. Issues: fuel gauge reads 3/4 full when it is full. Not much else comes to mind: body is in great condition; no rust on floor pans, underneath looks great. I will apologize in advance for some of the pictures will be rotated and I have done my best to fix them but to no avail. |

Volkswagen's emissions deception brings more scrutiny to entire industry
Tue, Sep 22 2015Volkswagen's emissions deceptions have hurt the entire auto industry's credibility with federal regulators. Days after the world's largest automaker confessed to installing software that circumvents emissions standards on approximately a half-million diesel vehicles in the United States, a top federal safety official says the company's dishonesty will force government officials to view the entire auto industry with heightened skepticism. "Your first question has to be, 'How extensive is it through the whole industry?' You don't know if it's a unique case or if other people are doing it," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "The unfortunate part is you're not going to worry about one person. It's extended to the entire industry. If they did it, someone else could do it." "They tell you one thing, you question it." - Mark Rosekind Rosekind's agency doesn't bear responsibility in investigating the emissions cheating. That falls to the Environmental Protection Agency, which served Volkswagen with a Notice of Violation on Friday that alleged the company's diesel vehicle equipped with 2.0-liter engines contained a defeat device that allowed the cars to detect when emissions testing was taking place. In normal driving situations, the cars spewed pollution at as much as 40 times allowable thresholds. But because of the emissions cheating, NHTSA wonders if the German automaker has been cutting corners on safety standards or disingenuous on safety-related discussions. Speaking at an auto-industry event in Novi, MI, on Tuesday, Rosekind indicated no information can now be taken at face value. He used the phrase "Question assumptions" several times in discussing the case. "Of course, question assumptions means, 'Is there some other safety element there that we're now going to have to investigate?" he said. As it did in the General Motors ignition-switch probe, the Department of Justice has initiated an investigation of Volkswagen and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce announced it will hold hearings on the cheating. For NHTSA, criminal cases complicate matters. The agency core function is to regulate safety, not conduct criminal investigations. But in the early going, their investigators may be the first ones to spot wrongdoing.
Peugeot will prove it doesn't offer cheater diesels
Thu, Oct 29 2015Our diesels are clean, really. That's the message from French automaker PSA/Peugeot-Citroen as it plans to go on the offensive in response to Volkswagen's diesel-emissions scandal. PSA will go out of its way to prove its diesels are as clean as advertised. The company is looking at disclosing "real-world" fuel-economy statistics as soon as next spring and will use an independent entity to vet the numbers, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments that PSA/Peugeot-Citroen financial chief Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon made to reporters this week. Such efforts may be vital, since roughly two-thirds of the vehicles Peugeot-Citroen sells in Europe are powered by a diesel engine. Last month, VW admitted that as many as 11 million of its diesel-powered vehicles were programmed with software designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. The news shook up the industry, especially companies that sell a good chunk of diesels. The EU itself may start instituting "real world" fuel-economy and emissions testing as soon as 2017. French regulators have said they may eliminate diesel-fuel subsidies that currently make diesel fuel cheaper to customers than gas. That adjustment may occur as soon as next year, since it's been pushed up in response to the VW scandal. Peugeot-Citron continues to reiterate that it has never installed software that was designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. Additionally, the automaker was more than a decade ahead of European Union mandates for engine components designed to cut soot emissions, so the company is hoping its track record makes a difference. It wants to be perfectly clear about that.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
