94K MILES

RECENTLY RESTORED BARN FIND

FOUR BRAND-NEW NEXEN TIRES

NO RESERVE!! 

Being offered at NO RESERVE:

- 1973 VW Beetle in amazing BRIGHT ORANGE with only 94k miles.

- MADE IN GERMANY!! They simply don’t make vehicles like this anymore. With only 94k miles, this engineering masterpiece is barely broken in.

- From speaking with the owner, these are the original miles. However, we are disclosing that the title is marked as Not Actual Mile. The vehicle runs, drives and looks to have low miles. In addition, the title was previously renewed in 2008 and the odometer was recorded as 84k miles, so all signs lead us to believe the previous owner, that the vehicle’s true mileage is 94k; however, the title is marked (most likely mistakenly) as Not Actual Mile and we want to be as thorough and fair as possible to all potential bidders so we are disclosing this information.

- RUNS AND DRIVES 100%. We’ve had the vehicle on the highway at over 60 mph and the BEETLE IS IN EXCELLENT RUNNING CONDITION!!!

- As you can see in the pictures, the VW was restored. It appears to have been restored within the past 3-4 years based on how new everything appears. The chrome shines new, clearcoat and paint look a few years old tops and shine beautifully. While it is a very nice restoration job and the vehicle appears to have been taken down to its bare bones and restored properly, it is not without faults. There are some minor dings that were left in the body and the rear portion of the headliner has a few marks on it and is sagging in one spot. The dash has two cracks in the front center (driver side) that were filled and repaired but still visible.

- The interior otherwise looks great. Seats look great, carpets look new, the trim looks great. All rubber gaskets, glass, chrome trim, lights, door panels, sun visors, door handles look new.

- RUST-FREE!!!! I’ve included a bunch of undercarriage pictures. The body on this Beetle is rust-free. The undercarriage looks amazing. The orange you are seeing in the undercarriage pictures is because of the color of the vehicle. The underbody is in great condition. Frame, suspension and undercarriage components are all very solid.

- 1.6L 4 cylinder motor runs excellent. Great oil pressure and no heating issues. This motor is known for its reliability and not to mention its simple design allowing for easy, affordable maintenance.

- 4-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all gears! No grinding or slipping. Clutch feels great.

- Brakes, exhaust and suspension are all excellent.

- This is the perfect vehicle for an amateur collector or to use as a daily driver. Reliable, great on gas and a real head-turner, the next owner is really going to enjoy this Beetle for years to come.

- We have verified that the original color of the vehicle was indeed BRIGHT ORANGE! The paint job looks great and fresh. No chips in the clearcoat and the vehicle really shines beautifully.

- Please take your time, I’ve included a lot of high-definition pictures including close-ups in order to give all potential bidders a fair and accurate view of the vehicle.

- Original VW Chrome center caps over the BRIGHT ORANGE wheels look amazing and are a truly classic look.

- Wheels are wrapped in FOUR MATCHING, BRAND-NEW NEXEN TIRES.

- All matching VIN numbers present!!! THIS IS THE ONE!

- Original radio was replaced at some point with an aftermarket headunit. Audio sounds great.

- The Beetle has been kept in amazing running condition. I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this vehicle up and drive it cross-country. 100% TURN-KEY!!

- This is really a rare find: 1973 Volkswagen Beetle with only 94k miles in BRIGHT ORANGE and being sold at NO RESERVE!!

- The VW is for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction early. Please give us a call at 410-803-4448 to make us a BUY-IT-NOW offer today!

VW reveals updated 2016 Jetta GLI [UPDATE]

Wed, Jun 10 2015

UPDATE: Volkswagen has updated its press release regarding the EA888 four-cylinder engine. Originally, it was described as the same engine as the GTI. This is not strictly the case, though. While both the GTI and GLI use the EA888 engine, the GLI's engine does not get variable valve lift. Our story has been edited to reflect this. The Volkswagen GTI's slightly more mature and conservative fraternal twin, the Jetta GLI, is getting updated for 2016 in a big way. Chief among the changes is the GLI's new engine. It's an EA888 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, like the engine we've so thoroughly enjoyed in Autoblog's long-term GTI, although it does without variable valve lift, according to Volkswagen. It's still rated at 210 horsepower, though. Volkswagen also made some minor visual tweaks, including 18-inch "Mallory" wheels, a new front fascia, and a rear bumper that includes a diffuser and two chromed exhaust tips. There's also a new standard safety feature being offered for 2016 in the form of the Automatic Post-Collision Braking system. This is not, as we initially thought, a collision mitigation braking system, though. Basically, it only kicks in after the airbag sensors detect a crash, at which point APCB clamps down on the brakes in a bid to minimize the severity of the accident. Check out VW's full press release on the 2016 Jetta GLI, and the head up top for a look at the visual changes for this year. VOLKSWAGEN REVEALS THE 2016 JETTA GLI Jun 10, 2015 The performance version of Volkswagen's best-selling car offers new features and a sporty new look for the 2016 model year Herndon, VA — Today, Volkswagen of America unveiled the 2016 Jetta GLI, the sedan equivalent of the Golf GTI. Equipped with a specially tuned sport suspension and the same 210-horsepower, 2.0-literTSI® turbocharged and direct-injection EA888 four-cylinder engine as the Golf GTI, the GLI offers a compelling blend of value, performance and practicality. For 2016, the GLI gets a bold new look highlighted by an aggressive front fascia that incorporates a honeycomb grille and foglights, along with a new rear bumper design that has a diffuser and a pair of chrome-tipped exhausts. All 2016 Jetta GLI models have 18-inch Mallory design aluminum-alloy wheels, shod with standard all-season tires or optional summer performance tires. Inside, 2016 GLI models benefit from the new MIB 2 infotainment system that incorporates the full suite of USB and Car-Net connectivity.

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries

Mon, Dec 8 2014

VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.
