1978 Vw Convertible Bug,super Beetle, Karmann on 2040-cars
Arlington, Washington, United States
|
1978 VW convertible fuel injected. Local one owner Washington state car. This car is on consignment at my dealership from the original owner. Title is free and clear Washington state. she has had this car from day one buying it off the showroom floor from a local vw dealer and is in good shape and mechanically well maintained over the year, making this 78 a turn key driver with minimum repairs needed. Body and paint are in good shape with virtually no visible rust on exterior of body. Paint is in above average shape for not being brand new, still having good shine Undercarriage does have a few rusted spots, as seen in my video’s but nothing that wouldn’t be expected for a Washington state car, that has been a driver for nearly 34 years. owner say’s she had it painted a number of years ago, late 90’s. top is in great shape for being many years old, functioning properly and still looking great inside and out. Interior is original and in good acceptable shape. lights are all in proper working order, radio, fuel gauge, speedo are still functional at this time. trunk area is clean and unmolested. Tires are in good shape along with brakes, brakes approx. 40%, but do still function properly as seen in my videos. would probably need replacing in the near future or we could do front and rear if negotiated in sell. engine has been well maintained and iis the 1st year of factory fuel injected. i light oil leaks that appear to be normal condition and nothing detrimental, expected condition, for a car being a daily driver for her. she is selling for only one reason, that being the clutch and stick shift purposes. Hard for her to shift through gears now. This is not a perfect car or was it just restored. but has been very well maintained and cared for as it appears in my photos and videos. I have taken lots of additional photos and videos of car starting and driving, also undercarriage. I hope this will help you in making a clear buying decision. Thanks for your time.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
