Description

I am a broker and have been hired to sell this vehicle on ebay. The photos that you are about to see are the original photos that I took with my own digital camera. The pictures have not been touched or photoshopped, thy are in their original state. Up for sale is a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible by Karmann. It has the twelve volt system and come with the stock 1600 engine. The engine has been rebuilt to factory specs. 1973 is noted for changes in the Bug construction, the first year of the curved windshield. Also noted the same year, the new flow through ventilation system, and of course a new redesigned, more modern and padded dashboard. Also larger turn signals on the fenders for better visiability were installed this year too! The transmission and clutch are working perfectly. The engine starts up every time, brakes are good, electrical works fine, all the lights are good. Has an aftermarket radio and extra speakers. The owner put in a little center console to put knick knacks in. Seats are good and comofortable. It is a nice fun car. It is a good solid origninal car. Ready to jump in and drive, or set up for a full restoration. It does show a little wear in places from age, but easily fixable. Tires are new, drives and handles well. The rear convertible top window has about 50% visability. Nice dash cover with an added tachometer. Chrome wheels are dazzling. In the trunk you will find an original set of those cocomats that were so popular in days gone by. Engine complartment clean and all seals, gaskets and metal covers are all in place. A very complete car. The speedometer reads 39,720 miles, and clear title in hand.

Fun on the Run

The Convertible had two owners. The second owner was obsessed with the car. Had it painted a nice red. The contrasting black convertible top in great condition and noted not even a tear in the headliner. This Bug has been in the garage for the past six years, so there is no rust anywhere. A true California car. The owner decided to buy another bug and now is working on that one and decided that it was time to pass this convertible on to someone who would continue to love and appreciate it and mostly have a lot of fun with it. Nothing like throwing the top down and a nice drive up the California coast, life could not be better. If you are looking for a nice bug convertible that needs no repairs and just ready to tackle the road, this is the car. Don't let this one slip away.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
