I would love to keep it and tinker around with it but I just don't have the time or space to do it. The car hasn't been tagged since 2011 and was running and driving when I parked it. I tried to start it recently and either the starter or solenoid needs replaced or the battery that's in it is too weak to start it but I assure you it ran great when parked. I can't see finishing the project like I had hoped and just don't want to delve into starting repairs on it without completing the entire project. Before I parked it I did put all new wheel cylinders and brakes on it, put fresh oil in, replaced some of the rubber trim and a few misc. things I'm probably forgetting. It does need the top replaced, it developed tears around the rear glass window so I removed it but do still have it, it's a defrost glass and the connection is still there. The remaining part of the top is in fairly good condition and doesn't leak that I can tell. I think I have all the trim for it and can't see that anything in particular is missing but if in doubt, ask. The Champagne II edition came in Peach Metallic Red but it has been repainted at some point in a similar but not quite exact color. It has spent several years in a garage until recently and there are a few small rust spots showing up but nothing too drastic. The mileage shows 30K but I'm not sure if it's the original engine or not. The white interior is in pretty good shape with no major tears or staining but the door panels need replaced. The dash has a couple of cracks in it and probably needs a cover.
I'm not really a Beetle guy and don't know a lot about them but I'm happy to answer any questions or send pics of anything in particular you want just let me know.
The car was a blast to drive and it's hard to stop smiling when you're behind the wheel. People have told me the car is pretty valuable due to it's rarity but at this point I just need it out of my driveway, so my loss is your gain. Buyer will either come pick up the car in person or make arrangements to ship it to them at their cost.

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.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
