Custom One Of A Kind 1975 Volkswagen Vw Beetle Bug Yamaha 1000 Powered on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States

Custom 1975 Volkswagen Beetle 4 speed manual transmission Powered by a Yamaha FZR 1000 Engine! This beetle has a custom installed Yamaha FZR 1000 engine! The FZR engine is mated directly to the Volkswagen transmission via driveshaft. All shifting is done through the Volkswagen transmission. Thus retaining all forward and reverse gears. Most motorcycle engine transplants into vehicles do not have reverse. The engine is mounted solid with custom motor mounts. It starts every time without choke, shifts smoothly & pulls like mad! It is a True sleeper! I'm pretty sure you could kill some Mustangs and Camaros! The body has been painted matte / satin green and is pretty straight for its age. The floor pan is very solid. No patch work has been done. There are some rust holes on the bottom of the heater tubes. But could be patched in easily. The interior is all there. Door panels need to be redone. Front and rear seats are in better than average condition. Headliner needs to be replaced. The rear sections around the rear windows are ripped. The ignition switch does not return to home. So once it starts it needs to be turned back a 1/4 turn. Lights and signals work. What this car needs is someone with a vision to finish it. The hard part is done. It is a PROJECT and needs lots of love. Please ask all questions prior to bidding! Ask your wife, girlfriend or mom before you bid! |

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
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.
