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.

Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
