1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States
1973 VW beetle, I have owned and driven this car everyday from 06/11 - 4/13 when the engine had a bearing issue and I removed it. This car really meant a lot to me and I have kept strict maintenance on it until 06/13. I really enjoyed this car while I was a student and traveling nurse assistant, now that I have a new job I just can't take the time to maintain this appropriately. I want to sell it to someone that will take care of it, I am going to be completely honest about it's condition. , please feel free to call me Noah Swift 717-273-1743 or e-mail at lebnoah@gmail.com.
----------------Pro's--------------- Minimal Rust Dash has no sun damage Both drive shafts replaced last year Totally replaced ignition switch and signal wiring in steering column Up to PA inspection standards on 5/13 No braking leaks or issues No issues with gas tank, rubber gas hose replaced recently (gas gauge float does not work sometimes) No stripped bolts on body or on trans-engine mount (transmission rubber boots intact, replaced last year) No electrical issues Shocks appear stock but I have had no issues with them. Four brand new Touring tires with professionally painted rim I put the transmission in myself in 2012, it was used, I bought it from a guy that was piecing a beetle in his shed for 600$. It does not slip, pop, or grind and the trans fluid is clear red with no burnt odor. I have crawled under it every summer and sanded off any rust,then painted with about 4 coats of Rustoleum. Besides under the battery, there is no floorboard rusting. I did this with the fenders as well. Left rear fender has some rust thru (photo) There are 2 stock seatbelts in the front with shoulder sttap, and I have installed 2 stock seatbelts in the rear. New Cards on doors and rear. The seats are used but reconditioned with 2 tears (photos) Headliner has no holes or sag, it is original. -------------Con's---------------- There is NO ENGINE, it does come with a new Sachs Clutch (photo) The steering shakes and should be restored, I am including a lot of the items needed for this (photo). If you are going to take the time to dissmantle the steering system this far I would recommend changing the steering box while you are up there, they cost about $100.00. Window rubber and body rubber between fenders needs replaced., Front and Rear window rubber is like new. Trunk and hood need re-aligned to open and shut correctly, all of the hardware is attached, it just needs reset. Minor dents and minor rust (photos) Speedometer cable is attached but nod placed into wheel.. speedometer does work. Rear Light is cracked and will need replaced. T-Bars (bumper bars) are not tightened down thoroughly, you will have to buy bolts from hardware store. The assembly or opening and closing heater-vent is not there, you will need to buy these assemblies, I was holding open the vent with twist ties all winter then removing them in spring. There is no radio, but it is ready to be connected to one and the speakers in both doors are new and do work. You will need to buy some flashing for e.j. the hood and the panel under the doors. The wipers work, I could never figure out how the wiper spray system works with the spare tire, but the assembly for this connection is there. There is a rubber seal in the engine compartment essential for proper engine use.. you will need to replace this rubber seal. --------------Included!!!!--------------- Brand new Sachs Clutch Set 1 year old Bosch Starter Electronic heater blower Spare Tire Two Rollers, Two tie rod ends, and new set of polyurethane replacement bushings. Two fan belts One condenser One acceleration cable New Battery 4 brand new Touring Tires with professionally painted rims and 4 dogdish hubcaps |

Volkswagen hits Gran Turismo with GTI Supersport concept [w/video]
Tue, Apr 14 2015As impressive as are the production hot hatches that Volkswagen offers based on the Golf, the German automaker cooks up even more impressive conceptual versions. Like this latest design for Gran Turismo 6. The GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo is like the GTI you can pick up at your local VW dealer, only more so. The design brings the VR6 back to the GTI, this time packing a (hypothetical) 503 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque, channeled to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel drive. In the virtual reality of GT6, that's said to be enough to propel this digital concept to 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 186 mph. Naturally VW's designers gave the GTI Supersport concept the show to accompany the go, gracing the shape with more vents, more extreme aero, a wider stance on 20-inch wheels... the works. All that is said to give it a lower center of gravity and a power-to-weight ratio of 5.5 pounds per horsepower. Of course the GTI Supersport isn't the first hot Golf concept VW has dreamt up in recent years. There was the earlier GTI Roadster concept also revealed for the Vision Gran Turismo series, the Golf R 400 concept that may yet see production, and the bonkers GTI W12 650 concept with its mid-mounted twelve-cylinder engine. This one may never see production, but at least gamers will be able to drive it remotely on PlayStation. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Wolfsburg, 14 April 2015 Next level: Volkswagen presents new digital supercar - GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo excites PlayStation fans - Race car with 503 HP now available for downloading Volkswagen is expanding its GTI fleet and sending a new supercar onto the digital race circuit. The engine roaring under the bonnet of the GTI Supersport is a 503 HP VR6 TSI coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). The design of this digital supercar combines the Volkswagen icon with sheer racing design. Following last year's roadster, another version of the GTI, with its long racing tradition, can now head for the starting line on Gran Turismo®6, exclusively on PlayStation®3. The first impression of this racer already shows that the Supersport is what fans want and is designed for racing. 665 Nm of torque catapult the virtual GTI to 100 kilometers per hour from a standing start in only 3.6 seconds.
Weekly Recap: Diesel scandal continues to fuel VW's woes
Sat, Oct 3 2015Volkswagen's woes continued this week when it was delisted from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and stripped of awards. Senators are also lining up to advocate for criminal and civil action against the automaker, and its consumer reputation is in tatters. Put simply, it's been another rough period for VW. Despite this, the company eked out a sales gain of less than one percent in September, though that was well behind the overall market's performance. Sister brand Audi, which sells a diesel A3, was less affected, posting a 16-percent gain in September. Revelations that Volkswagen rigged millions of diesel-powered cars around the world didn't surface until September 18, so the full sales impact of the ongoing scandal won't likely be felt until October. Meanwhile, VW's image continues to take a beating, and an AutoPacific survey found only one in 14 vehicle owners have a positive opinion of the company. Before the scandal broke, three-quarters of respondents had a positive view of VW. The survey also found 64 percent don't trust Volkswagen, though the same number believe other companies are or may also be using cheating devices to pass emissions tests. "The reputation of diesels has been severely damaged, at least for the short term," Ed Kim, AutoPacific's vice president of industry analysis, said in a statement. Despite the lingering malaise, experts believe VW will recover, just as Toyota and General Motors eventually emerged from their own high-profile controversies. "Consumers have proven through numerous recalls that they are resilient and quickly return to their buying habits," Kim said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Mazda to reveal sports car concept in Tokyo Mazda will bring a curvy sports car concept to the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The automaker is being especially coy with the details, only releasing the dark teaser shot that you see to the right and a cryptic statement that suggests the concept "condense[s] Mazda's entire history of sports-car development into a single model." Immediately, speculation abounded this is an RX-7 and RX-8 successor, though Mazda didn't specify what engine the concept will have. Reportedly, the company is still working on rotary engines. Mazda will have a Cosmo Sport 110S on its stand in Tokyo, which pioneered rotary technology in 1967. Read into that what you will.
