You are looking at a 1972 Standard VW Beetle. This is not a Superbeetle. I realize the old joke that everyone has a California car. Well, this is NOT a California car, it is a Nevada car and I have the original owners manual dating back to 1972 to prove it. I truly believe this car to have 62k original miles. This car has been garage kept with Hagerty classic car insurance. I have owned this car for just over 4 years. It is a really nice solid VW bug. It runs and drives really well, and the transmission shifts just great. Janis, as my wife calls her, had a low compression engine. The engine was pulled and pistons and cylinders were replaced, along with new rod bearings and valve job with guides on the heads. All the basic tune up parts were done. Carb was rebuilt and I replaced the distributor with a new Pertronix SVDA from Aircooled.net. This distributor no longer takes points. It has made a world of difference. All brakes were replaced along with master cylinder and hoses. All new ball joints and tie rod ends, alignment and new tires were installed. It also has a recently replaced battery. It also received a new muffler and tailpipes. The VW runs and drives very nice. She has all the pick up to get up to speed of traffic with no problem. I had some trouble with dirt in the carb and pulled the tank and cleaned it. It came out nice. I replaced fuel hoses and filters. The paint was done about 4 years ago as well and hasn't been driven in any bad weather and surely not when there was a threat of salt on the roads. The interior is in pretty nice shape with great seats and new carpet. There are some slits in the headliner which is evident in the pictures. The paint job was not done to make a show car, rather a car that can be driven without worry. It's a nice job, not perfect, but it really turned out to be a good looking car. It's a good time to run this car around. There is no clutch pedal to have to fool with. If you have never driven an autostick, it gives you the advantages of a stick shift without the need to work the clutch pedal all the time. Very fun to drive and you'll get a lot of waves in the bright green color. My wife chose the color with the understanding that I insisted it be a nice bright color that is easily seen to avoid accidents. Hood latch cable should be replaced and the pass side seatbelt should as well. This car is being sold as is. I hate to see it go, but am only selling this along with a 73 Camper VW bus to make room for a new addition. This car is definitely a favorite, but the garage is full and we have no choice. Feel free to email me with any questions or for more pictures. Cash In Person. Buyer makes a $250 pay pal deposit upon winning auction and can pay remainder within 10 days. DO NOT assume the advertisement price is your shipping costs. Please research any shipping costs prior to bidding. For some reason, my shipping details are not coming up on the listing. The vehicle stays here until paid in full. If you plan to have this car shipped, please research this prior to bidding. I recently had someone win a bid from California, and then announced he couldn't afford to ship it. He saw the advertisement on the screen for some cheap shipping quote and didn't read it. Only assumed it was accurate and then I had to relist it. I have set this up with NO RESERVE. A bit of a risk, but it needs to go. Thanks for your consideration. |

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
