1973 Classic Beetle - Orange, Mechanically Sound, Great Start For Restoration on 2040-cars
Callao, Virginia, United States
|
Enjoy the fun of a vintage Beetle...buy this one for less than many comparables. We took this in on trade from the owner who had full intention of completing a total restoration. She found some financial trouble and had to part with her 'baby'. She had spent a lot of money to make it mechanically sound. It does start reliably, and drive very well. It has a new carburetor, and many other new/rebuilt parts.
Left to do is the cosmetic, appearance items. The original orange exterior paint is pretty good...I'm thinking a good buff and wax will bring it out very well. The wheels and bumpers do show some surface rust, as do the engine exhaust tips. All glass is good...blemish free. The interior will benefit from a good cleaning. The cloth seats are good, without rips or tears. The headliner is intact, but there are two rips in the back seat area. The passenger side window crank is missing. I think this bug is a great 'project' for anyone wanting to do a restoration --without being overwhelmed -- financially or emotionally. The tires are fat with strong tread. They are Kumho P205/75R15 black walls. I have tried to describe this vehicle as best I can, but you understand our need to sell it AS-IS -- WITHOUT WARRANTY! We are offering this vehicle for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at anytime. If you want to talk about this vintage Beetle call me on 804-450-1189. My name is Ken This vehicle s owned by licensed Virginia Auto Dealer number 8915. |

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
