1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible VIN# 1592040490 ~ Assembled October 1979 Low miles, super-clean, much freshening and work done…Not the cheapest, but the BEST and NICEST ONE YOU WILL FIND! LOOKS LIKE NEW, RUNS BETTER THAN NEW! Amazing ORIGINAL PAINT & DETAILING! Superb weather stripping, glass, chrome, clean engine bay, trunk, undercarriage, and a dashboard that looks almost factory fresh (even the clock still works!). All this makes for a gorgeous classic VW Bug Cabriolet that is a true time machine to walk around and to sit in. A restored car can never compare to one that has the original feel and finish. But a few well-considered, modern touches make it BETTER to DRIVE than in ’79! Newer features that enhance performance, appearance, safety and driving fun include: · Pioneer CD Stereo · Enlarged and Rebuilt BIG-BORE MOTOR: 1835cc with 2-barrel Weber carb. HORSEPOWER BOOSTED from 48 to 70! ONLY 7000 MILES ON THIS MOTOR! · Modern performance Kumho tires on gorgeous ‘Riviera’ alloy wheels with VW center caps Very few miles on this these! Four-wheel alignment done at same time. · Front Disc Brake conversion for safety and performance. Brake system completely overhauled: Drums, shoes, all brake lines and new master cylinder. · KYB Gas Shocks for better ride and handling than stock. · Bright, white Hella H4 halogen headlamps (factory original sealed beams comes with the car). · EMPI Tow Bar (easy hook-up specifically designed for classic Beetle…so you can pull it behind your RV!) · EMPI Chromed Shifter with “Short-Shift” Kit and Console. · Custom Stainless Steel Running Boards. · Electronic Ignition! New Bosch Blue Coil! Polished alloy billet Timing Pulley with degree marks! Polished stainless steel Splash Pans! EMPI chromed Valve Covers! ANSA Free-Flow 4-Outlet Muffler! (Engine compartment has been dressed up and steam-cleaned) · JUST SERVICED last week, including: New Battery ; Castrol Motor Oil & new Oil Filter ; Clean Air Filter ; Valve Adjustment ; New Valve Cover Gaskets ; Ignition Timing Checked ; New Heater Hoses. · Rust-proofed, Undercoated and Paint Sealed when new. Always stored indoors under a Custom Car Cover (comes with car). Stored winters. NO RUST EVER!! END of an ERA: This car is from the final model year for the German-built Beetles. The 1979 Cabriolets, hand-finished by Karmann with an extra measure of quality, are the most sought after vintage of all…This car (built in October 1979) is representative of “the last of the last”. A true piece of automotive history. I am listing this car (along with some others) for my good friend. Impending hip and back surgery prevent him from enjoying his lovely Bug fully, and financial considerations are forcing him to let it go. It is a stunningly maintained example of a timeless classic, ready to drive anywhere, preserve for the future, or drive just to car shows. Cruises comfortably at 65 mph. The only flaw I could find is a small tear in the convertible top that has been carefully heat-welded shut to seal it up. It’s hard to see unless you look for it (I highlighted it for you in photo #38 of the 100 available on the link below). The top is otherwise perfect, and goes up & down easily, seals very well, and looks neat tucked under its tonneau when folded. This car is nearly as clean underneath as it is on top. More attention has been lavished upon this car over the years than might be considered sane by many people, but no one can argue with the results. To ensure there would be no worries for a new buyer, this car just returned from a visit with a certified mechanic specializing in air-cooled VWs for a final service and thorough "going-over" (almost $700). He pronounced it, “The best I have seen!” IT NEEDS NOTHING EXCEPT a DRIVER! NO DISAPPOINTMENT HERE! 100 pictures, showing close details, engine and chassis, available at: Please look closely at all the pics, and you will notice details like the plastic plugs where rust-proofing was applied to inner panels; the excellent paint finish and chrome on the entire car; the clean clear speedo and clock; the condition of components like tires, brake lines, and brake master cylinder; the amazing original finish on even the gas cap; and the shiny clean crevices behind the bumpers and around all the rubber grommets and trim – It’s amazing! And these are the small things that will always make this VeeDub stand head and shoulders above another. Once again: Not the cheapest, but the best!

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
VW recalls another 6,700 vehicles over fuel leak [UPDATE]
Mon, Feb 2 2015UPDATE: An earlier version of this post suggested that the expanded recall involved an additional 44,658 units, when VW tells us that is in fact the total number - adding a further 6,679 to the original recall of 37,979. The text below has been updated accordingly, with our apologies for the confusion. It was a little over a month ago that Volkswagen issued a recall for some 38,000 vehicles over a potential fuel leak. Now the German automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have expanded that recall, affecting even more vehicles for the same issue. The problem revolves around a sealing cap at the fuel rail, which could fail and cause fuel to leak into the engine compartment, thereby increasing the risk of a fire. This time around, VW is calling in a selection of Jettas, Passats, Golfs, GTIs, Beetles and Beetle Convertibles, all of them from the 2014 and 2015 model years (except the Golf and GTI, of which only 2015 models are being recalled). The recall now affects an estimated additional 6,679 units, which (in addition to the 37,979 recalled previously) brings the total up to 44,658 vehicles across the United States. RECALL Subject : Fuel Leaking Into Engine Compartment Report Receipt Date: JAN 23, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V028000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 44,658 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured March 28, 2014, to November 24, 2014, 2014-2015 Passat vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to November 18, 2014, 2015 Golf and GTI vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to November 20, 2014, and 2014-2015 Beetle and Beetle Convertible vehicles manufactured March 31, 2014, to November 27, 2014. A sealing cap at the fuel rail may fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails with new parts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early February 2015. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 24BL. Note: This recall expands and supersedes recall 14V-809 (Volkswagen recall number 24Bi) and only affects vehicles not previously repaired under that campaign.
10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
