Hello, I am selling my custom beetle due to a new purchase I have made and will not be using it like it should be used. I have 100% positive feedback and plan to keep it that way. Please message me if you plan on bidding and have 0 experience with Ebay. I do require a 500$ non-refundable deposit through paypal within 24 hours of auction ending ... I will not be in town the 12th through the 21st of July so after auction ends we have till that Wednesday for you to come get it or I will have it in garage until I get back ... I bought this from a friend with the intent to take it to car shows and use it on the weekends but I have bought another vehicle and will not have time to use this and want to pass it on to someone who enjoy it ... OKAY ... This is a 1974 beetle body ... fenders are early 60's and also the hood is early 60's (and is rare and has emblem on it) it also has early model bumpers which are also rare ... It has fresh paint done in 2012 ... which as you can see from the pictures is awesome candy blue with black and reverse ghost flames (3,500 in paint) it has 1,500$ in powder coating ... It has very very rare saw blade wheels worth over 1000$ they are powdercoated black .. bumpers were rattler canned and have some paint coming off as you can see in pictures ... they were not professionally painted with the rest of the car ... the glass is in pertfect condition ... it has new carpet ... new weather stripping ... it has air ride suspension on the front that is set up super easy ... stays on 90psi for best ride but air can be let out and set on the ground at car shows then there is a 12v socket to plug in the air compresser and it airs right back up ... great riding car with the air suspension ... OK this car was a 3 speed autostick from the factory basically an automatic ... When the previous owner had the whole car restored he had it converted to a 3 speed with a clutch ... very easy to operate and very unique .. the way it idols I dont even use 1st gear unless on a steep hill ... you can use 2nd gear 0-40mph and then just switch to 3rd from 40-80mph ... yes i said 80 because I drove this car on interstate every once in a while ... steering is a little shaky but it can be driven easily on interstate if needed ... OK the engine is 1915cc and it was COMPLETELY rebuilt ... along with the transmission ... 3,000 miles on the engine and trans ... as you can see from the pictures it is very very clean ... It has a very rare dellorto carb on it worth 600$ ... carb could use a slight adjustment but I and the previous owner have driven it for over a year with it just how it is ... interior is nice but seats could use a recovering ... the previous owner had a short in a wire which burned a hole in the back seat ( this was before he had the car restored) when the car was still unrestored from 3 owners ago ... it has two batteries under the seat one for the car and one for the stereo ... the car has been completely rewired ... the stereo system on the car is absolutely amazing and cost a good chunk of money ... works great !! ... the dellorto carb # is R5219 ... The rear hatch to the engine compartment has a special bracket which allows it to sit away from the body and get more air to the engine ... when opening it you can see where it rubs on the bumper and took the paint off and where it touches the paint took the paint off ... I will have to take the winner on a ride and show them everything due to my insurance will not cover any other driver but me ... then when we get back from the ride and im paid its all yours ... I will not ship the car ... If you want to send a shipping company with full payment that fine but remember 500$ deposit due within 24 hours of end of auction ... any other questions just message me ...

All in all its an awesome custom beetle and it an eye catcher anywhere it goes ... I have a low reserve and it should get to the reserve very fast ... another thing ... the professional paint is very nice .. took pictures of the small inperfections ... it has heat and air but not cold air ... gas gauge works .. signals work .. healights and tail lights work ..

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
