THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION FOR AN INCREDIBLY WELL PRESERVED CLASSIC 79 BEETLE CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR HAS 76K ORIGINAL MILES AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL KEPT  AND MAINTAINED ALL OF ITS LIFE. I AM PERSONALLY A HUGE VW FAN AND OWN MORE THAN 15 CLASSIC VOLKSWAGEN'S RIGHT NOW. I COLLECT ALL SORTS OF CLASSIC CARS AND DO WELCOME TRADES HOWEVER MY GOAL RIGHT NOW IS TO GET FROM OVER 70 VEHICLES IN MY COLLECTION DOWN TO ABOUT 35. I STILL LOVE CARS AND WILL LOOK AT ALL TRADES. MY PROBLEM IS I HAVE ABOUT 35 OF MY CARS THAT NEED TO BE RESTORED SO I AM SELLING COMPLETE CARS AND FIXING THE PROJECTS.

THIS 79 BEETLE HAS A BEAUTIFUL RED PAINT JOB THAT SHINES VERY BRIGHT AND REALLY STANDS OUT ON THE ROAD. THE BODY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL SHAPE AND IS FREE FROM ANY RUST DINGS OR DENTS. THERE IS ONE SMALL SPOT ON THE HOOD SMALLER THAN A DIME THAT LOOKS LIKE WHERE A CHIP WAS TOUCHED UP. I HAVE A QUOTE OF 410.00 TO REPAINT HOOD BUT I REALLY DO NOT THINK IT IS NECESSARY. THE DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE NICE AS DOES THE HOOD AND TRUNK.

THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE AND I DO BELIEVE IT TO BE ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY THE SEATS ARE GREAT THE HEADLINER IS IN NICE SHAPE AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND OPENS AND CLOSES VERY EASILY.

THE BEETLE RUNS AND DRIVES BEAUTIFUL AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN TUNED BY CARL FOWLER A 25 YEAR AIR COOLED VOLKSWAGEN SPECIALIST. THE MOTOR STARTS RIGHT UP AND IDLES NICE. THE VEHICLE DOES NEED TO WARM UP IN THE MORNING PRIOR TO DRIVING. ALL AIR-COOLED VW'S SHOULD BE RAN AT IDLE FOR 2 MINUTES PRIOR TO DRIVING THEM IN THE MORNINGS. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT IS SUGGESTED BY VOLKSWAGEN THAT YOU DO THIS. THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION WORK PERFECT, THE TIRES ARE IN NICE SHAPE AND GO DOWN THE ROAD QUITE SMOOTH. 

CARL DID SUGGEST NEW FRONT SHOCKS AND BRAKES WITH A QUOTE OF 400.00 INSTALLED, HE DID NOT DEEM IT MANDATORY BUT ASID IT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT FEW THOUSAND MILES.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
