1979 Super Beetle Convertible Karmann Model with Fuel Injection beautiful condition with Owners Manual. Clear Title lists 2100 engine, exempt miles (odometer reads approx. 25,000). Title also lists vehicle as Orange (Mars Red is the actual color). Bought the car in Oct. 2011 from a dealer before it made it to the car lot; dealer had it brought to Florida, from Tennessee (original owner). New alternator, chrome bumpers, some other chrome parts, and master cylinder since I have owned it. It is a head turner and drives nicely. I have 2 others so I am letting this one go. Only serious bidders and ask any questions before bidding please. I also have this for sale locally and reserve the option to end this auction at any time. $500 deposit via Paypal due immediately upon end of auction. Cash payment for balance due within 7 days of end of auction. Vehicle pick up or shipping is the buyers responsibility. There is a slight chip in the windshield on the passenger side that has been there since I bought it which I treated with a sealer and has not spread; please see pictures. Top works in good shape no rips. Sold as is with no warranty so please again please ask any questions before bidding.
Just want to be clear about what I have stated above, the information that I have provided from the title is just that. I have no way to prove the actual mileage or engine size. The color is listed as orange but I got the Mars Red from a paint shop that did a electronic analysis of the paint. I do drive the car about once a week and keep it mostly in the garage but sometimes covered with a car cover on my lanai if I intended to use it again within a day or two. Remember to ask any questions before bidding. Thanks again for your interest. Reserve has been lowered! What an Awesome Christmas Present! Good Luck Bidding! |

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
