I've decided to sell my beloved 1971 Volkswagen Beetle. I just don't drive it enough to justify owning it. I'd like to see it go to someone that would drive and enjoy it on a regular basis. I purchased it 6 years ago in Oklahoma City for $3500. I looked at many other Beetles before I bought this one. I liked this one because it had no rust, it started and ran great, and it had low miles. It now has only 95,000 original miles. It has never failed to start, even on the coldest winter days. It has definitely been one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. It has the original 1600 cc 4 cylinder engine. The engine compartment is very clean and well kept. Items I have replaced include all 4 shocks, front sway bar poly bushings, SCAT shifter, steering dampner, engine heater hoses, oil pressure switch, and shift rod bushing. I also recently drained and replaced the transmission fluid with Mobil 1 75W90. Recent oil change as well. I put 4 new tires on it about 3 years ago. I've only put a few thousand miles on them since then. I also put 4 new EMPI 8 spoke wheels on the car. This car has always been garage kept. I have some brand new parts that have not been installed yet, including ball joints, muffler with exhaust tips, tie rod ends, horn ring, new black headliner, running boards, kick panels that will hold speakers, and door panels. A year or so ago, I removed the seats and took out the old original carpet. I also had the seats recovered but have not reinstalled them yet. I was going to do that after I put in the carpet. This Beetle came from the factory without a radio. I have a nice JVC CD player that I was going to install in the glove box. The body on this car is great to be over 40 years old. Just a few minor dings and scuffs. The original paint is a little faded and showing its age. The floors, rockers, and fenders are nice and rust free. I'm sure the winning bidder will be happy with the condition of this car. It starts easily and shifts through all 4 gears fine. The turn signal doesn't work, but a new one is included. All the glass is good, and the windows roll up and down fine. I do have the original cardboard piece that goes over the gas tank under the hood. Once you put new carpet in, you can reinstall the seats and have an awesome daily driver or first car for your kid. The tag has expired, so you will have to update that. Contact me with any questions. I do not have PayPal, so payment must be made by cash or money order upon pickup. GOOD LUCK!

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
