Greetings.
This is a very nice example of a 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle. It is the desirable dark green color with beautiful EMPI mag wheels. It has been garage kept. It starts immediately, shifts great, steers straight and stops like new. The 1971 and 1972 were the only model years for the flat windshield. This makes them somewhat unique in the beetle world. 1973 began the curved windshield era. The car is rust free. It had only one dime-sized rust hole, located under the battery; typical for any car over 10 years old. There is light surface rust on the underside of the car. That's it. A 43-year-old rust-free car is unusual and quite desirable. But if you are reading this, you already know that. This car has been garage-kept since I've owned it and has only been rained on twice. (I know what you're thinking... a little odd, but that's just the way I am. I make no excuses.) New interior items include: New headliner New carpeting New front and rear seat covers New visors New steering wheel New JVC AM/FM radio with Bluetooth and flash drive port Subwoofer with Jensen amplifier New EMPI short-throw shifter New trunk liner Tachometer Oil pressure gauge Voltmeter Head temperature gauge Completely insulated in the roof and the complete area under the carpeting New exterior items include: New rubber window trim New windshield wiper motor New outside mirrors and rear-view mirror New windshield wiper washer (pump added to replace original air pressure method) New bumpers New windshield New running boards New wiper blades New Insulation in the engine compartment and undercarriage New McPherson strut stabilizer bar New steering bushings, stabilizer bar bushings, and associated suspension bushings New steering damper New shock absorbers New McPherson struts EMPI 8-spoke mag wheels Engine work includes: New carb New Bosch distributor and electronic ignition New spark plugs, distributor cap and wires New oil cooler New push rod tubes New headers and muffler (tailpipes extend from the correct tailpipe outlets with a pronounced sports car sound) New clutch and pressure plate New motor mounts New oil pump New fuel pump New fume elimination kit New engine compartment insulation panels (the panels that are on the firewall and sides of the engine compartment) New seals around the engine to maintain engine cooling ....and miscellaneous parts too numerous to list Much of the work on this car are important things that you normally not see, such as the suspension work, insulation, engine work, and so on. No doubt I have forgotten to list many more new parts, but you get the point. I have spent almost two years renovating this car. And now it is done. My wife thinks I'm nuts to sell it now that it's finally done. But I think she's beginning to understand that I didn't do the work so that I could drive it. I did it because it's what I love to do. And now it's time to move on to a bigger restoration challenge. My goal in selling this car is to make room in the garage. I did not respray the car during the restoration. I didn't want to have to worry about every parking scratch and dent. The car looks good, but you can see the flaws up close. Overall, it looks good. But it's a daily driver, not a trailer queen. I don't want to own a car that owns me. Mileage on the odometer is 58,000. I have no reason to believe that this is accurate. All receipts will be included with the car. I have documented the restoration process, so if you'd like more pictures, please let me know. |

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
Translogic 168: CES 2015 Roundup
Wed, Jan 14 2015Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
