Before i begin i put the mileage as it is on the odometer but im sure it is that plus at least 100,000 more.This bug is going to be up for auction for this seven days ONLY ! If it does not sell in the 7 days its going to be parted out by day 8. Im not trying to sound rude but i just dont have the room or time to keep dealing with it, i have waaay to many projects on my plate rite now.Also this vehicle will need to be trailered or put on a flat bed, it is NOT road worthy !!One last thing, This beetle has a clear michigan title,the title is the old style Michigan titles that have not been used since the 80,s. The title is also an open title which means that i have not registered it, it has been signed over to me but i have not filled in the blanks. OK ! Now about the bug!  In my opinion this is a great parts bug but as far as restoring it i feel its too far gone. The floors and rockers have been sort of repaired (see picture) someone spent a lot of time doing what they did but its all pretty useless repair and would need to be all torn out.The doors are both in good shape and i dont see any repairs on them.Both door windows roll up and down with a lot of help (they are real tight) both vent windows open and close.Both door locks work from inside but do not work with key.Both door handles work outside and inside.Both doors drop about 1 inch at rear when opened due to door post on car rotted at bottom.Rear deck lid looks good.Front trunk lid has some minor dents and some surface rust but nothing to serious.The trunk lid also does not latch but everything is there,probably just an adjustment.Wiper motor works on both speeds but there are no wiper arms.Windshield has some wiper scratches.rear window has the defroster element in glass and it looks good but i have not tested it.This bug has no brakes! I added some brake fluid and it started to get pressure then lost it.Theres no leaking brake fluid so i think the master cylinder went.Since there is no brake pressure the brake lights also do not work but one tail light does work.Also one head light works.Turn signals dont work.The sunroof opens all the way and closes 99% of the way, it just doesnt seem to want to go that last 1/4 inch to close. The engine runs very strong and doesnt leak or burn any oil.I did just put a new fuel pump on it the past week, which is understandable since it hasnt run in over 20 years! The engine doesnt seem to want to idle to well which is also understandable since it is missing most of the vacuum lines and still has some really old gas still running through the carb.The engine turns on and off from the key but i had to use a remote starter switch to crank the starter.(remote starter switch is NOT included but you can borrow it to get car on trailer) Also the battery is NOT included but you can use it to start it and get it on trailer.The tranny shifts through all gears and the clutch seems fine.The tires are in pretty good shape with lots of rubber and only a little bit of minor dry rot.Three of the tires hold air with no problem but the driver side front one has a bad valve stem and leaks down in about an hour! The rear seat is missing the back of seat, there is only the bottom section.
Well i guess thats about it.You will notice that one picture is of parts,all of those parts are included with the car and i will list them below. I can also offer delivery on an open trailer for $1.00 per mile per mapquest mileage from my address to your address, USA only, sorry but no Canada delivery.If the delivery option is chosen ,the delivery fee will be paid in advance and is NON-REFUNDABLE !!   The winning bidder will pay a NON-REFUNDABLE $100.00 deposit within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in full within 7 days of auction end.Balance to be paid in CASH at time of pickup.Vehicle is to be removed from my property within 7 days of auction end unless prior agreement has been made BEFORE bidding on car!
Any questions feel free to email me,i will answer usually within 30 minutes.If you want more pictures,please be specific about areas you want pictures of.
Thanks for looking and have a great night!

Fully Charged rolls into season 3 with VW XL1 and electric Land Rover

Sat, Jan 18 2014

It's been some time since last we visited with British actor and electric car proponent Robert Llewellyn and his web-based video series, Fully Charged. The show, now sponsored by Ecotricity, has started rolling out its third season and now has available two episodes featuring a pair of truly unique – and diametrically opposed – vehicles. The first installment starts with some interesting numbers involving the host's Nissan Leaf and its energy consumption over the past 36,000 miles, but soon moves on to the ultra-aero, ultra-expensive Volkswagen XL1. Now, if you've already seen the footage from our own XL1 first drive review, there's not a lot new here except, perhaps, more enthusiasm and a better listen of the two-cylinder diesel kicking in. Still, it's a great reminder of a truly unique vehicle and we enjoyed the segment. The second episode features an electrified Land Rover Defender 110. This is a vehicle you'd more likely see on an African safari than at the local mall. It's not a home-built conversion either, but rather, something the company has put together "for the boffins to create the ideas and see if they work." Boasting a 50-mile range, it's certainly something we like to take on an off-road adventure. Llewellyn is given the chance to do just that, and though the course is somewhat milder than what we might attempt, it does feature a stretch of river and some rough, rutted tracks. You can watch both episodes by scrolling below let us know which vehicle you'd prefer in the comments. This writer is going with the four-wheel-drive. This content is hosted by a third party.

VW admits 430,000 2016 models have implausible CO2 ratings

Mon, Nov 16 2015

Volkswagen finally explained more details about its CO2 rating scandal in Europe and admitted that 430,046 of the estimated 800,000 affected vehicles with "implausible" figures came from the 2016 model year. They included some from Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW, and VW Commercial Vehicles, according to the automaker's list (as a PDF). The problem mostly impacts diesel engines, but the inventory also shows some gasoline mills. VW will next determine the accurate CO2 emissions for these vehicles, and the German Federal Vehicle and Transport Authority will supervise that process to ensure the data's veracity. The automaker will also launch websites in Europe to let owners enter their model's VIN to check whether it's affected. Because governments there often link vehicle taxes and CO2 production, the company promises to work with regulators in each country to cover any fees that result from the inaccurate figures. VW announced the CO2 scandal earlier in November and estimated the equivalent of $2.2 billion to fix it at the time. A later report claimed that a group of engineers were responsible for fabricating the emissions data. They allegedly couldn't meet reduction goals from Martin Winterkorn, and between 2013 and this spring the workers did things like overinflate the tires during testing to achieve the desired results. VW is also closer to a fix in the diesel emissions scandal. According to an anonymous insider to Bloomberg, the company has a repair for the 1.6-liter engine that's reportedly neither very complex nor expensive. German regulators would still need to approve the solution before it could roll out to owners. Next step in clarifying the CO2 issue Affected Volkswagen Group models of the current model year have been identified Customers being informed via website Discussions with the authorities have begun The Volkswagen Group reports that the vehicles of the 2016 model year affected by the CO2 issue have been identified. There is thus now clarity about the new vehicles of the current model year out in the marketplace. On 3 November 2015, the Group had already reported that irregularities may have arisen in determining the CO2 figures for type approval of around 800,000 vehicles. This was identified during its own currently ongoing investigations and had been made public. The internal investigations into the current vehicles of the 2016 model year provide results for narrowing down the actually affected vehicles with implausible CO2 figures.
