Up for bid is a very clean and low mileage 1976 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible.  I purchased the car 3 years ago from the nephew of the original owner.  The owner was a college professor at Binghampton SUNY College of New York.  He owned and maintained the vehicle throughout its life.  I have all the original paperwork showing it has 35000 miles on it 15 years ago.  It is just under 40000 today.  Unfortunately. the fellow had cancer, and before he passed he gave the car to his young nephew.  The nephew keep it really nice and garaged it and did not drive it in the winter months. The young man put it up for sale on ebay about 3 years ago and I bought it from him


I have had the vehicle completely inspected and all the necessary maintenance it needed to make it a completely safe and reliable vehicle.  It does not leak oil, shifts easily, the clutch engages correctly.  The car handles, drives and stop like it should.  The top is new, and the interior has be refreshed with new seat covers, carpet, etc.  

The body is in excellent condition with no rust, or dents.  The underbody is excellent and the car has no rust.  The color is red with orange tones.  The interior is black and is in excellent condition.  The car has a factory tach, and all the volkswagen standard guages--speedo and gas guage.  It has the factory AM/FM radio that works fine.

I have driven the car on trips as long as 100 miles with any problems.  I have a number of vehicles and I am selling some of my cars.

The car is in Fairport New York.  and I can be reached at 585-259-3958 with any questions.  I own a small used car dealership and the pictures were taken after it was detailed.
It will be fully detailed when you pick the vehicle up.  I own a  used car dealership, but this Volkswagen is my privately owned vehicle.  It is not dealership inventory.

Please do not bid unless you really have the money for the car and plan to arrange to pick it up.

I will need $500 on paypal within 48  hours and the rest in a certified bank check or cash.

There is no warranty with the vehicle.  But the mileage is true and the car runs great.

I will assist the shipper you arrange to pick the car to transport to your location.

Porsche 911 and Nissan 350Z get smoked by unlikely hero

Mon, Jun 1 2015

So a Nissan 350Z Procharger and a current Porsche 911 GT3 drive onto the Autobahn together - stop me if you've heard this one before - and they decide to race. We're not sure how much power the Z is packing, but the stock model topped out at 306 horsepower on the last year of its run in 2009. And if that's a stock GT3 then it will be rocking something like 475 horsepower. So the Z and the GT3 give it a racing go, and just as one of them starts to pull away they're both overtaken by one of the most unlikely dark horses you could imagine. It's a really short video and we won't spoil the surprise, so check it out above.

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project

Tue, Jan 7 2014

It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
