This VW is a true survivor. It was purchased in 1973 from the original owner that was drafted for the Vietnam War. The car had 8,000 miles at the time. The new owners wife did not like the car at all, so she refused to ride in it. Because of this, it was rarely driven. The owners daughters drove the car through their high school years. During this time, the rear left fender was damaged in a minor wreck and was repaired by the dealer. Other than this fender, the paint on the car is all original and shows very well. After high school this car basically sat in the garage untouched, other than the owner starting it up from time to time. The odometer broke with a little over 41,000 miles on it and they estimate another 5,000 miles to be on the car. The odometer can be repaired by any regular VW guy. The common problem is a broken gear inside the speedo and it can be purchased online for $30. This car is equipped with air conditioning. I had a shop vacuum the system down and it held vacuum and the compressor seems to be in good condition. I am pretty confident that the AC will work with a 134 conversion. The brakes work, but they definitely need some attention. I removed the gas tank and power washed it and dried it with compressed air. The main fuel line through the body was completely clogged with thick varnish from gas being left in the tank. I spent a whole day clearing this line out and I replaced the rubber fuel lines as well. I also had the carburetor rebuilt and it is in great condition now and the car runs beautifully. I installed 2 inline filters for the purpose of catching any debris that may still be in the fuel lines. The engine has never been removed! I chose not to over clean anything on this car. I really want the new owner to enjoy some of the "barn find" beauty that this car offers.The tires are very old bias ply tires, but they hold air. I opted to leave these on because of their originality. The spare looks to be the original and holds air as well. Under the front hood, this car is unbelievably original and it even has the original fiberboard trunk liner. The spare tire well is as clean and perfect as the rest of the car. I can not find any rust rot anywhere on this car anywhere. The pans are in great shape and do have very little surface rust in a few spots, but I assure you it has not penetrated anywhere. The battery section is very solid as well. On to the inside, the AM radio turns on and you can hear static, but the antenna is broken so I have been unable to pick up a station. The original floor mats and carpet are in very good condition as is the carpet. The front seats definitely need some attention but the rear seat is in good condition with the exception of a very small tear or 2. This bug is a special edition called the BAJA edition. Part of that edition was a leather wrapped steering wheel and walnut dash inserts as well as a fancy shifter :) These were all dealer installed packages and varied a little, but it still makes this a unique VW. The headliner is in beautiful condition, considering it is 40 years old. The dash is very nice as is the steering wheel and visors. Please ask any questions you may have and I will do my best to accurately answer them for you. Bid confidently! This car is a very rare find. You will not be disappointed in this VW. If you are local, you are very welcome to come inspect it in person.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
Sunday Drive: Variety is the spice of life
Sun, Nov 12 2017If there's any one new vehicle the entire world is anxiously waiting for, it's the Jeep Wrangler. Yes, of course the iconic off-roader has a loyal following here in America, but you could plop a Wrangler pretty much anywhere on the globe and everybody will know what it is. Put simply, the redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has big, muddy shoes to fill, and the readers of Autoblog are just as interested in the Wrangler's rebirth as anyone else. Moving along, we were fortunate enough last week to spend a bit of time in nearly every version of the venerable Volkswagen Golf all in one day. There isn't a Golf we don't like, but there's one, easily identifiable by its three-digit name, that stands above all the rest: GTI. We think it's the best Golf you can buy, even if there's an R-badged variant that slots above the GTI in VW hierarchy. Rounding out our recap are three vehicles that could hardly be more different. The 2019 GMC Sierra, which was seen wearing pretty light camouflage, is a truck. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – which isn't going to go on sale, ever, at any price – is a conceptual supercar. And the Honda CB1000R is a retro-themed naked standard motorcycle. Variety really is the spice of life. 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shot mega gallery Driving nearly every VW Golf: Base, GTI, R, Alltrack — here's what we learned 2019 GMC Sierra spied sporting just a thin wrapping The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is a brutally fantastic EV supercar concept Honda unveils 2 new motorcycles, including retro-flavored CB1000R Image Credit: Brian Williams GMC Honda Jeep Lamborghini Volkswagen Technology Truck Convertible Crossover Hatchback SUV Performance sunday drive vw golf gti lamborghini terzo millennio
