Selling my project of the past 6 months.
When I picked this bug up it needed a lot of love, no interior, bad paint job, and not running. I was excited to find out the original color was harvest gold - it had been repainted an ugly green color from what looked like during the 80s or 90s.
The car has a whole new floor pan installed was the first thing I did, not just patch panels - a whole new floor. The bottom has been undercoated.
I spent $2000 restoring the paint to its original color. All the body pieces were taken off so there is no overspray on anything! I wouldn't consider it show quality because it does have imperfections, but it is a very nice driver!
Next I got new tires, new door panels (black), a used set of seats, new top, new starter, new fender beading, new carburetor, and a used engine (still have the number matching engine if you want it included - didnt run well I think it got hot)
Shes a nice driver, starts up everytime. The engine is from a 74 karmann ghia and has a little bit of smoke on start up if you let her sit for awhile. She drives great around town, havent gone on any long trips so please use your own judgement if you want to drive it across country after the auction.
All the lights work no issues with them, windshield wipers work, brakes are good.
The bug needs hood hinges I have one on there, but the other one got lost during paint.
Also I think they sent me the wrong carpet kit it doesnt fit real good
Other then that as far as issues the top needs a little bit of help lining up with the windows (I always park it in the garage so havent worried about it leaking)
And last it needs a stereo - I think thats all for the issues
In 1974, 12,964 VW Bug convertibles were produced, with only around 300 of them sun bugs! Unfortunately it is missing the original seats and door panels (they are supposed to be brown)
But all the other signs are there, Sun Gold Metallic original paint, rosewood dash trim, January 1974 production date (every sun bug convert ive researched was built then), Simulated leather 4 spoke steering wheel, and black vin tag.
Get ready for fun this summer with this VW bug!
Please email if you are local and would like to check it out! Please place bid while you can - will not accept higher offers after the end of auction. Thanks for looking

Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R
Wed, Dec 10 2014Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.

Audi diverting a third of R&D budget to electrification
Tue, Jul 19 2016Companies make promises all the time. We'll do X by Y. The new A will be our biggest seller in B. You know the drill. But it's when an automaker puts its money where its mouth is that we really stand up and take notice. That's precisely what Audi is doing as it attempts to convert 25 percent of its sales to electrified vehicles by 2025. Citing two sources with knowledge of Audi's plans, Reuters reports that around a third of the company's research-and-development budget will go to " electric cars, digital services, and autonomous driving." Of course, shifting that much money over to newer technologies means sacrifices elsewhere – Reuters' sources claim Audi will move money away from combustion engines and reduce country-specific powertrain variants, but the sources wouldn't get more specific. According to Reuters, Audi is 22nd in total sales of hybrids and EVs. That's eight spots behind Mercedes and ten spots behind BMW (not to mention hybrid-happy Lexus). Audi's only electric representatives in the US market are the A3 e-Tron and Q5 Hybrid and things aren't much better in Europe – the company needs to dump buckets of money into expanding its meager lineup to bring up the percentage of EVs it sells. Expect greater detail on Audi's electrification plans very soon – CEO Rupert Stadler will discuss the company's path forward on Wednesday at a closed-door meeting in Munich with over 2,000 managers. It's unlikely all those managers will be able to keep quiet. We'll be listening.
