This 1974Volkswagon Beetle- Super Beetle Coupe Sun Bug Special Edition, All this cars paper work was lost in a major fire. The man who had it was a collector of High end cars like BMW, Bentley, Porches, and this little Bug covered up in the corner. All the cars were in a different building. And were sold at an estate auction. The Import Auto Gallery out of Chicago purchased this bug because of the condition it was in. This car has been taken care of to almost like new condition. The only thing I had to do to this car was install a new dome light, door jam switches and wiring. Tune ups, oil changes. My mechanic thinks the motor and transmission is all original. The previous owner put all his attention in the Body and interior. As the pictures will show you. The odometer reads 969 miles, I believe the motor has rolled over because for years they could not be verified if they were actual. I am not a mechanic so I trust mine. He said that when he checked the brakes, they showed a little less than half life. That makes me think it rolled over. Next, Ed (my mechanic) found that the compression was great for a car with that many miles. It's a head scratcher. Also, this bug drives great. Steering and shifting are solid and smooth and will cruise 70MPH. I never had a bug that fast. I was impressed with the torque and comfortable wide seats, Their like a fabric weave tweed. Everything works like it's supposed to. Windshield washer was upgraded to a 12 volt system. This car is so solid, I can stand on the running boards without any give. I'm 270. When you look underneath The floor pans look brand new rocker panels the same solid and seal coated inside all the fenders. Doors close tight like a new car no rattles or swaying This car hugs the road. I hate to sell it, but I have my last child leaving for college. The heater and defroster work excellent no leaks and plenty of airflow. The Sun Roof Looks brand new and drain tube is properly hooked up. The tires are brand new with new spare. Both doors need weather stripping replaced. their is a little rust rash by right rear tail light and a tiny spot on the sun roof. Small Dent In rear bumper about the size of a dime. It wasn't their when I bought it. The car has a average cd player with speakers in the kick panels. If you would like to see more of pictures before you bid. e-mail me at rusty228@frontier.com I Have been as honest as I can be, The title is clear and hope I can find someone to take her over.

VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
