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.

VW Beetle R is one mean bug

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.

2015 VW e-Golf gets cheaper Limited Editon, starts at $33,450*

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Typically when an automaker announces a new limited edition of one of its models, it comes at a premium. Maybe the extra cost turns out to be worth it due to bundled options, but there's almost always a cost. But not with the new Volkswagen e-Golf Limited Edition. For this model, VW has gone the opposite direction by cutting equipment out of the electric hatchback and charging less for it. Compared to the SEL Premium model, the Limited Edition of the e-Golf drops the alloys in favor of 16-inch steel wheels, halogen headlights in place of LEDs, cloth upholstery instead of leatherette, and drops the heat-pump system. As a result, the e-Golf costs $2,000 less, priced at $33,450 (*before delivery) and available to lease for $229 per month. For that, you still get the electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque, 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and 7.2 kW onboard charger and class-leading energy consumption. VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES A NEW TRIM LINE FOR THE FULLY-ELECTRIC 2015 e-GOLF - e-Golf Limited Edition model goes on sale with a starting price of $33,450 - Drivetrain consists of 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and an electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque; 7.2 kW onboard charger is standard - Standard fast charging capability allows up to 80 percent battery charge in 30 minutes - EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 116 combined MPGe puts e-Golf at top of the 2015 EPA Compact Size Class - A great value, with a host of features that include KESSY® Keyless access with push-button start, navigation system, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with C-shaped light signature, and more Herndon, VA – Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced that a lower-priced version of the fully-electric 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf will go on sale at participating dealerships. The 2015 e-Golf Limited Edition is priced nearly $2,000 less than its SEL counterpart at $33,450, without compromising performance, quality, or versatility. The e-Golf Limited Edition is also available at a monthly lease price of $229, plus applicable fees. The e-Golf Limited Edition is built on the same sporty Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform as the rest of the award-winning Golf family. It is powered by a compact electric motor and a 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery (built in-house at the Volkswagen facility in Braunschweig, Germany), and offers 115 horsepower and class-leading torque of 199 pound feet.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
