"A Blast from the Past"

Hello there! We have a great little convertible up for auction. I am a broker, and I was hired to sell this car. All the pictures you see are from my digital camera. The pictures have not been re touched or manipulated. For the first time since the car rolled off the showroom floor, this car has been put up for sale, a 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible, a rear engine air cooled four cylinder engine, with rear transaxle manual transmission, ready to take you anywhere. This belonged to a collector. He had five cars, 2 went to restoration, the 1966 Ford Mustang was sold to Germany and the Alfa Romeo and the Beetle came to us and are both now on ebay. The nature of this car makes it a candidate for ebay. This completely original VW Convertible has a new top and glass rear window, and with factory jet black repaint. Typical of VW and Porsche, there were areas where the metal would be thin, both sides floor pans have been replaced. Engine, transmission, and clutch are all in good working order. This car has always been maintained, and always garaged. One owner, and has spent it's running around days in sunny southern California. It has some surface rust in the undercarriage, I guess something you would expect for a 35 year car, and only 86,837 original miles. It's a great specimen if you want to go ahead and have this Super Beetle restored, but it looks stunning, just the way it is! Beautiful shiny black paint, beautiful black top and the volkswagen beetle black vinyl seats. Only southern california can out do itself, this convertible features the dealer installed silver and gold steel spider wheels. Many people preferred this look better than the wheels that came with the car. If you really want to see what wheels came with the car, just open the trunk and take a look at the original white wall spare with the dull looking steel silver wheel. This car even comes with the highly collectable original blue California Blue License Plates. Never thought I would say a Beetle was classy, but this is pure fun, excitement and with the triple black, just waiting to be driven. Just a great car! Maybe it's time you took a second look at this one, it just might be the car that you have been looking for.

"Volkswagen Changes Gears"

1979 and 1980 the end of an era. Since the late 1940's, Volkswagen produced the Beetle convertible all the way up to 1979 and made just a few more for 1980, but were 1979 leftovers. This was the last rear air cooled engine convertible in the United States. Volkswagen, started to change to front wheel drive water cooled engines. The Volkswagen Beetle became collectable immediately! In the late 1970's Volkswagen produced a "Triple White" edition, along with a "Champagne" Edition and the "Epilog." and the last Karmann built soft top bug rolled off the line on January 10, 1980, then headed straight into volkswagen's Auto Museum in Wolfsburg. Everyone knows a Volkswagen Bug, well, you know the rest. They have been around for years, I drove one myself for years in my younger days, fast, easy to drive, great on gas, simple to work on, parts easy to get, all wrapped up in a great little car. Come and get this car, the very last of the last.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.

Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
