Beautiful daily driver offered for sale due to unfortunate circumstances only - I have moved and don't have a garage and cannot stand to see it outside! Seriously, this car would NOT be for sale otherwise. I am the third owner, have all the maintenance records from the day it was purchased to present and have lovingly restored it along the way, from a tired old fellow of beige and rust when I first acquired it 6 years ago to what you see here today. It drives great, starts on demand, leaves only a minimal oil spot - unbelievable for this breed, as VW enthusiasts will tell you - and is a head turner wherever it goes. Bug Red, as he's now known, is loved by family and friends and no one is ready to part with him. He's been garage kept for the last 6 years since I've restored and repainted him, but after just a few months outside the chrome bumpers are showing rust spots (easily attended to with a brillo pad every couple of weeks) and I want to move him to a good home with a garage sooner rather than later. With just a little more work on the window and door gaskets and some of the trim, Bug Red could be a show car. I prefer to enjoy him on a near daily basis, however, and he's been up to the challenge from day one. He's starting to show a goofy uncertainty with his gas gauge around half a tank, so I've recently replaced the sending unit and am keeping an eye on that, but otherwise, he's a runner and will take you wherever you want to go, whenever you want to go. My upgrades and restorations have occurred over 5 years, and are too numerous to mention, but the first order of business was to remove the air conditioner - yes, Bug Red was a cool bug from birth, literally, with the VW installed a/c in the front. No need for that, though - the car was underpowered for it and it is a maintenance hassle, so we pulled it first and patched all the holes. Second order of business was pulling out the rusted floor pans and replacing them. Then, gradually, we replaced seals, wires, plugs and pins that looked uncertain for the long haul, en route to the new white walls and paint job. Bug Red's a new man and a favorite among guys, gals and kids alike. Seriously, you cannot drive 10 miles without several waves, thumbs up and/or questions in the parking lot. You will NOT be disappointed with him. I just ask that you be serious about it and plan to take care of him. He definitely deserves a roof over his head, and I cannot give that or predict when I will be able to again. My first car ever was a restored 1973 Super Beetle, so this has a lot of sentimentality for me, and it's hard to part with, but I don't want to see my handiwork get eaten up by the elements. So, give him a look. He's well worth it. The couple original 1973 advertisements that are shown in the pictures are available to go with Bug Red, along with a small assortment of original parts and accessories that have been replaced.
Sold AS IS, NO WARRANTY, NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS.

2023 Chicago Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: See all the new cars from the show
Thu, Feb 16 2023The 2023 Chicago Auto Show played host to a number of reveals this year, and we were there to capture all of them. In traditional auto show fashion, that means you’re getting a mega gallery of galleries to flip through and see all the vehicles on the show floor. Our EditorsÂ’ Picks from the show are already out — spoiler alert, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander took home the prize. That said, there were other important reveals like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We also learned some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that VW is considering a pickup, and Jeep owners really are plugging in. To see the photos, scroll on down and start flipping through those galleries.  2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander View 7 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas 2024 Volkswagen Atlas View 14 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport View 7 Photos 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with its carbon fiber wheels 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with carbon fiber wheels View 7 Photos 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray View 10 Photos Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions View 3 Photos 2023 BMW XM 2023 BMW XM View 6 Photos Ram Revolution Concept Ram Revolution Concept View 6 Photos NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car — Toyota Camry NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car ?

Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE is a sleek take on brand's future CUV
Tue, Jan 13 2015Volkswagen continues its long tease leading up to an eventual US-built, seven-passenger, three-row crossover with the Cross Coupe GTE at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. While it's still affixed with the tinsel of a concept car, there are a lot of details that will arrive on VW's eventual production crossover. The wheelbase of the GTE is said to be identical to the production model, although this five-passenger CUV is actually about a foot shorter overall, Volkswagen's chief of design, Klaus Bischoff, told Autoblog. The overall shape of the GTE's greenhouse, meanwhile, will also be very similar to the car that'll come to market, although more progressive from the C-pillar forward (that's right kids, that sexy sloping rear end isn't for production). Despite the aggressive rake, a peek in the GTE's trunk revealed room for the CUV's third row. Beyond hinting at a new addition to the company's lineup, the GTE also gives us a look at future Volkswagen design, including the use of four-element LED running lamps. Body lines will be as sharp as is feasible. Look for the production version of Volkswagen's seven-passenger SUV at the end of next year. Until then, check out the two-row concept, courtesy of our live images from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.
Volkswagen is not cool with a Fiat Chrysler merger
Wed, Mar 8 2017Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller shot down Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne's overtures for a merger in blunt fashion this week. Mueller told Reuters at the Geneva Motor Show, "We are not ready for talks about anything ... we have other problems. I haven't seen Marchionne for months." The unusually candid – and icy – response from one chief executive to another comes after Marchionne similarly pursued General Motors (again) this week. The FCA boss suggested GM might be looking for a new European partner as it prepares to unload its troubled Opel and Vauxhall divisions to PSA. A GM spokesman told USA Today that the company is not interested. Marchionne has been openly suggesting a GM merger since at least 2015, despite GM never reciprocating interest. VW's "other problems," as Mueller notes, include legal proceedings, fines, recalls, and other issues related to its long-running diesel scandal. Marchionne has long sought industry consolidation, arguing that automakers don't get a proper return on their investments in technologies, some of which are relatively similar. He's suggested sharing chassis and powertrain components could be a benefit to the collective auto sector. Skeptics argue FCA, which is smaller than GM, VW, Toyota, and others, needs a partner to survive, while its rivals already have the necessary scale to remain competitive. Related Video:
