This is a 1973 I incorrectly had it listed as a 72. The beetle has been stored in a garage for the past 16 years. I purchased it from previous owner about 2 years ago. It is a nice but not perfect. I do have the spare tire and another new tire not pictured. The tires that are on it are like new. It starts up every time and engine runs smooth. It does leak a little oil after you turn it off about 2 quarter size drips. Transmission shifts good and runs in and out of all the gears without problems. THERE IS however a vibration that you feel going down the road. It does not sound like metal on metal more like buzzing. I have not been able to figure out where it's coming from. It goes away when you make a left hand turn and at highway speeds above 60mph. I replaced the right drive-axel and all wheel bearings on the rear right side to try and fix the vibration. Still there. It is completely drivable but the vibration is annoying. Feel free to come and test drive it. Floors look solid. Lights, turn signals work. Radio not hooked up. Horn button below steering wheel , original horn doesn't work. Looks like this thing had AC at some point but it's not hooked up. I replaced the rear break hoses. Body has no dents. There are a few paint chips pictured that are being covered up by magnetic beetles. Looks good. 167,000 miles, I don't know when engine was last re-built but to me it feels like it has pretty decent power. There is a windshield wiper scratch on the drivers side could be taken out by you. I tried to take a pic of it. The passenger side has a chip filled in as pictured. I can take pay-pal or cash for full payment. I have way more then my opening asking price it this I wont take less. Thanks and good luck. 3 day auction!!

VW LogBox and Race App performance data logger for R models [w/video]

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Now that it's got a 300-horsepower Golf R to brag about, Volkswagen wants you to be able to brag about it accurately with the LogBox and Race App performance data logging combo. Plug the LogBox into your VW's OBD II port and it sends data over BlueTooth to the Race App, measuring variables like acceleration, distance, G-force and engine performance. If you're on a circuit, it uses Google Maps to make a map of the track, and you can record live video in-app to match with the data. Volkswagen says the LogBox will be available for R models and "a range of further Volkswagen cars," so you'll want to hit up your dealer with questions before ordering. It's available from the VW accessories store for 299 euros ($365 US), but right now the free app is only available in German, in the German-language iTunes and Google Play store. We imagine that will be corrected shortly; in the meantime, the video can show you how it works.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
