Up for sale is one FUN VW Bug! Hotrod, Volksrod, Rat Rod, Chop Top, Roadster, whatever name you want to call it, this is ONE FUN RIDE!!

Just in time for Summer fun, evening cruises, etc!  Champagne fun on a beer budget (on a PBR beer budget! :-)

This is a 1970 VW Bug Beetle, highly modified.

I do not know anything about VW's, as I got this in trade for some motorcycle parts, etc.

I know it is a 1970, and I know it runs great, shifts great, and blows 6 foot FLAMES out of the rear of the car into the night's sky!!!

I dont know what size the engine is, only that it was rebuilt two years ago (2K miles ago) by the previous owner.

He flipped the doors around, so now they are suicide/front opening doors...so COOL!

Has fully adjustable air shock suspension on the front, so you can raise or lower the vehicle anytime you want using the schrader valve at the front of the car.

If you look in the pics, the front of the car is sitting very low.  I like to drive it like this, but if my wife and boys ride with me, then I pump her up a bit higher.  takes 10 seconds with an air compressor.

Flamethrower is homemade, using two coils and two normal spark plugs, a spark box controller, and fuel pump and modified NOS bottle for resevoir.  Flames work GREAT! you can run them while sitting still at idle (just blip gas and watch people FREAK! ;-)  or you can use it while running down the road (completely illegal, and I am not responsible for your actions!) where it turns heads, well, like something is on fire! :-) Love it! so cool for cruise night, bike night,etc.

Rat rod style, 99 problems painted on it, has rust in probably all the normal VW spots as I don't know anything about VW's. Paint is rattle can I think, with 99 problems paint is done nicely to look old. 

This is the perfect vehicle for turning heads on cruise night...gets more attention than my neighbor's new Corvette!  And when you turn on the fire, and make smores for the neigborhood kids, the Corvette guy just can't compete! :-)

What can I say, pic tell the story.  She runs, drives, shifts, stops, rides fine.  Air shocks let her go up/down any time you want.  Headlights work, tail lights work, brake lights work, emergency brake works, flamethrower works GREAT!  Fun to drive, removeable race steering wheel with the quick on/off feature. Turn signals don't work, radio powers up, etc (removeable face), but I think speakers came unplugged, so no sound now.  Easy fix for new owner. I deal pretty much in motorcycles, so cars are not my thing really.  So look at pics and get this killer ratrod for Summer for CHEAP!

If you have something to trade, let me know.  I like motorcycles, trucks, and cash!  If you have a cash price in mind, let me know sooner, rather than later!

NO RESERVE! Bid with confidence, I have 100% feedback over 12 years, 180 items, many HIGH DOLLAR listings!  Local pickup, or you send your shipper to load and pick up.

Car runs/drives without issue, so i can help your shipper load.  Shipping is buyers responsibility.  I can hold the car for the high bidder for 2 weeks at no charge.

I accept cash and paypal.

Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands

Sat, May 11 2019

One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.

VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV

Tue, Oct 7 2014

Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag. You can see the new ad and a number of related behind-the-scenes videos (in English) below. Our Quick Spin of the E-up! are available here. This content is hosted by a third party.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members. Click on over to view the extensive gallery of high-quality images from Ran When Parked.
