This 1973 Super Beetle is a 4-Speed and comes from Birmingham AL. I am the 3rd owner. I purchased it from an elderly couple 2 years ago. The original owner was in Arkansas. THIS IS THE FARTHEST NORTH THIS CAR HAS EVER BEEN!

There is no rust whatsoever, and the entire car is solid! The car has been garage kept all of its life and only has 29,958 original miles on it! I have done nothing with this thing, but sink money into it over the past 2 years, and drive it on a Sunday here and there. It is a great little car, and will make its new owner very proud to call it their own! Everything on this car works as if it just rolled off of the dealership lot! Air cooled.

Now for the Goods:
The car comes with both sets of original VW keys and the original owner's manual.
Stickers on the inside of the driver side door with service dates of 7/2/74 and 4/1/77. Very cool to show off.
Original steering wheel cover.
The outside has been repainted to match the factory color.
Vintage LOOKING radio from JBugs in CA. New antenna. New speaker.
Cup holder also from JBugs, beets the ash tray, never smoked in it anyways.
All shift linkages replaced to stop shifter rattle
Dipped, resurfaced, and repainted fuel tank -like new now
New motor/tranny mounts. They were a bit dry rotted. Stopped engine vibrations
Replaced clutch and flywheel while the motor was out
New distributor and rotor
Rebuilt carb -again keeping everything original!
All new fuel lines
All new brake lines
New master cylinder
New wheel cylinders
All new brakes and drums
All new air tubes
New muffler and tail pipes
New battery
New starter
Rebuilt ignition switch -notorious plastic piece brakes off inside of them.
The front, rear windshields, along with the two quarter window seals have been replaced. New Chrome inserts from JBugs as well
Here is JBugs website. I recommend them, great parts for a good price: jbugs dot com

This is a true collector's piece here. I feel like I am in the back of my Grandfather's 72 every time I get in this thing! Have had a lot of fun with this car, and loved to bring it back to life. I have a new project car now, and hope this thing goes to someone that will truly enjoy and appreciate it.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE is a sleek take on brand's future CUV

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Volkswagen continues its long tease leading up to an eventual US-built, seven-passenger, three-row crossover with the Cross Coupe GTE at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. While it's still affixed with the tinsel of a concept car, there are a lot of details that will arrive on VW's eventual production crossover. The wheelbase of the GTE is said to be identical to the production model, although this five-passenger CUV is actually about a foot shorter overall, Volkswagen's chief of design, Klaus Bischoff, told Autoblog. The overall shape of the GTE's greenhouse, meanwhile, will also be very similar to the car that'll come to market, although more progressive from the C-pillar forward (that's right kids, that sexy sloping rear end isn't for production). Despite the aggressive rake, a peek in the GTE's trunk revealed room for the CUV's third row. Beyond hinting at a new addition to the company's lineup, the GTE also gives us a look at future Volkswagen design, including the use of four-element LED running lamps. Body lines will be as sharp as is feasible. Look for the production version of Volkswagen's seven-passenger SUV at the end of next year. Until then, check out the two-row concept, courtesy of our live images from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

VW Golf R pre-order sells out in less than 11 hours

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Volkswagen fans had to be pretty quick if they wanted to ensure their pre-order for one of the first 500 units of the 2015 Golf R to enter the US. The German brand opened the books online at at 12:01 AM EST, and according to company spokesperson Leigh Anne Sessions speaking to Autoblog, by around 10:30 AM EST all of them were snapped up. VW's pre-order page currently shows these vehicles as no longer available, and the company confirms the news on Twitter, as well. There's still a chance to get an early Golf R by signing up for the waiting list and hoping one of the 500 orders falls through. VW Customer Care will contact people if there's an opening. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This entire allotment of the Golf R comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with VW's adaptive damper system, navigation, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and more. To further sweeten the pot, the company is also giving these folks a watch, key chain and certificate with their vehicle's VIN. The 500 models were priced at $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery, but only $500 was required to reserve one online. The amount was refundable if a person backed out.
