Harleysville, Pennsylvania, United States
Fuzzy Dice Autos
Has up for auction a very rare gorgeous, very low mileage
1978 VW Convertible. This is a special limited Champaign II Edition in a super
rare Peach Metallic Red color. The car is in excellent condition inside and
out. She has only has 24,863 documented miles on the odometer. This is
confirmed by the previous owner, the Pa title and other service receipts. The
owner purchased the car in 1979 when the odometer read 9,000.00 miles. She
drove the car during the summers and stored it in a climate controlled garage
in during the winters. They now had to sell the car because of a move to a
retirement development with no garage.
The body and under carriage are flawless. The only blemish
is appears on the front bumper where a small portion of the chrome is coming
off. The original paint still shines like new. I still have the “Poly Gly Coat”
warranty issued May 9, 1978. The white convertible top is original to the car
and is in excellent condition. The original white interior is equally as
beautiful. No rips, marks or defects of any kind. The only thing not original
is the after market radio equipped with CD changer. Even the clock works! This
special edition comes equipped with the wood grain dash and a fan for the
heater/fresh air system.
The original engine and drive train is like new. The car
drives strong and quiet. No issues what so ever. The car drives like it did in
1978.
This is one of the very nicest early Beetle convertibles
you will ever see. Plus it’s one of only 1200 made in 1978. This beauty is only
going to rise in value, so if this car interests you, then don’t hesitate to
place your bids.

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.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
