1970 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible.  80% restored, runs well, good compression in engine, maintained professionally,  Some rust in bumpers, along edges of hood and engine doors.  Floorboards were replaced during previous restorations but it currently has one small hole under the battery on the passenger side rear floorboard.  Heat channels are in excellent shape.  Main body structure is intact and in excellent shape.  Seats have been changed out to Procar Scat seats with newer seat covers over the back passenger seat cushions.  Carpeting was replaced in almost all the interior and the trunk.  Steering wheel is a Volkswagen steering wheel from a Rabbit or Cabriolet from around the same timeperiod and was leather wrapped.  Radio is a replacement from the early 90's along with new Pioneer speakers in the door.  Back passenger seat back works will with it's release and without the back seat cushion, it folds flat for more cargo space, and small 4 legged companions.  Speedometer cluster was replaced during the earlier restorations and I will put with the sale all parts that I have that came off the car. The original speedo cluster has the mileage that was original to the car before it had to be removed due to damaged nylon gearing in the casing. It had less than 90K on it, I believe. The original seats were broken when the car was purchased and are not available.  Neither is the original steering wheel.  The side passenger mirror is loose in the frame and spins, causing some slight paint damage.  We can't figure out how to fix this issue.  Recent oil change, replaced rear brakes, bled the brake lines, rotated tires.  Everything checked out on the car, which was serviced less than a month ago. 

Car is sold as is, where is.  No warranties or guarantees expressed or implied.  No shipping or delivery available.  Pickup only.

A VW will help you keep control of your terrible children, apparently

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Not all kids are angels, and in fact some of them can be destructive little monsters at the worst of times. Parents know it, too. Volkswagen is playing on adults' fear of being publicly embarrassed by their progeny in an extremely clever ad, touting the long-distance driving range of the Passat TDI. Titled Mom, the spot is certainly one of the more creative sales pitches ever devised for a vehicle's fuel economy. The ad allows three little boys to go absolutely wild in a convenience store as a horrified cashier watches. Although, the commercial certainly raises the question: what mom would actually let her kids run around unattended while pumping gas?

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
