I have for sale a beautiful 1974 Volkswagon SuperBeetle. 
-Very clean
-Runs beautifully
-Original Style Rims
-Original flip out side windows
-Brand new Kumho tires, less than 500 miles ago. I would say that they have at least 95% of tread left. It also comes with a spare tire without about 60-70% tread left. The only problem is that the rim will not allow it to hold air, so a new rim would be needed for the spare. 
-Original radio is included, but does not work. I have a new radio in it, but it is a bit loose because I did not want to cut up the dash in order to fit it. It does not fall out while driving or anything. The radio has an AUX plug and comes with a AUX cable. Currently I have it wired for four speakers, one under the driver and passenger seat and two in the back. The car will come without the back speakers because they were a gift from a family friend, but the wiring will still be there and you will only have to hook up your own two speakers. 
-Recently rebuilt carb and service from local VW Bug specialist.
-New electronic ignition distributor with vacuum. 
-Original air filter

-Brand New Starter
-Has working fresh air blowers for cabin

This is a nice california car, and has very limited rust. The only rust spots are in the passenger door where there are a couple small spots where it rusted through (See Pictures). Underneath the body is solid, there was rust under the battery box which is very typical, but it was fixed. The running boards also have some light surface rust. 

The car has had a recent complete carburetor rebuild. This is due to the fact that there was a small fire in the engine compartment. I had put some fuel in the carb to prime it one time, but there was too much. I had a fire extinguisher there and quickly put out the fire. After that I brought it over to the shop and had him completely rebuild the carburetor and check up everything. Everything is now completely mechanically sound and the only thing that remains is a little burnt paint on the deck lid (See Pictures). 

This car drives great and still has the original interior. All the seats are original and because of this there is a little wear and tear on the back seat from sun damage (See Pictures). The previous owner also put on a dashboard cover. She also drips a few oil drops once in a while, like almost all of these older bugs do. The car comes with the original blue california license plates and with registration paid until September of this year. Another benefit of this car is that it's a super beetle and therefore the trunk in the front has quite a bit more room. This is an absolutely fantastic car and gets lots of looks and questions whenever I drive it. 

The buyer is responsible for pickup or transport.

Tanner Foust and Scott Speed get VW internships

Thu, May 28 2015

Tanner Foust and Scott Speed both already have quite impressive motorsport resumes. The former is a rallycross and drifting champ, and the latter counts two years in Formula One with Toro Rosso among his accomplishments. Still, it's never too late for a career change. In a humorous new ad for Volkswagen, the professional racers take on the duties of summer interns at a dealership. The commercial is timed with the kickoff of the 2015 Global Rallycross Championship season in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on May 30 and 31. Speed and Foust are both racing in Beetle GRCs for the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team. This year's Bug is even more potent than last year, though. It now packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to produce 553 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, versus the previous 1.6-liter turbo four with to 544 hp and 387 lb-ft. The racer can reportedly hit 60 miles per hour in just two seconds thanks in part to low gearing and all-wheel drive. One of the Andretti team Beetles might look a little different, too. Foust is sticking with his Rockstar Energy Drink sponsorship, but Speed gets an animalistic livery for Shark Week to celebrate the annual event from the Discovery Channel. Check out both of the cars in the gallery below or the ad in the video above. SCOTT SPEED TO RACE SHARK WEEK THEMED BEETLE GRC IN RED BULL GLOBAL RALLYCROSS SEASON OPENER Scott Speed and Tanner Foust will contest the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship in Beetle GRCs, starting this weekend in Fort Lauderdale Herndon, VA — The Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team begins its second full season of racing this weekend in Ft. Lauderdale. The team will again be battling with two Beetle GRC race cars, which debuted in the closing races of 2014. As Volkswagen enters its fourth consecutive year as a presenting sponsor of Discovery Channel's SHARK WEEK, Scott Speed will concurrently begin the Red Bull Global Rallycross season behind the wheel of the No. 41 SHARK WEEK Volkswagen Beetle GRC, wrapped for SHARK WEEK, which begins on July 5th. "My father raced with No. 41 in karts when I was younger so it's pretty special to me," said Speed. "I have only had the option to choose the No. 41 twice in my career and was able to win championships each time. Hopefully it continues to bring me luck in 2015!" New this year, the team has chosen to change the engine specification from the Beetle GRC race cars that ran in 2014.
