Up for sale is my 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle in running/driving condition.
I purchased this VW approximately 2 years ago with the idea that I would gift it to my kid brother (who was nearing driving age). I purchased the VW and left it with a 30 year experienced Beetle Mechanic who performed the following upon my request to get it in "reliable running condition": New Alternator, New Voltage Regulator, New EMPI Carburetor, New Bypass Air Cut Off, New Fuel Pump Push Rod and Gaskets, New Valve Cover Gasket, New Oil Screen, New Oil Pan Gasket, New Point Set, Distributor, Condenser, and Rotor, New Fuel Filter, New Copper Core Plugs and New Wires, New Hoses.
This VW runs and drives as it should. The VW was from Kentucky and has faired much better than most in the rust department, but does have some small rust bubbles starting as well as some rust along the bottom of the doors and rusty floor pans and heater channels. It is certainly presentable as it stands or could be a good candidate for full restoration if that's your desire. Interior is in serviceable condition. The drivers floor pan has the most rust and has caused the seat to be able to rock due to the fact the front mounting area is rusted out. Both of the items rusted on this vehicle (floor pans and heater channels) are available from many vendors as a swap out replacement.
Please take a look at all photos and ask any questions you have. I don't have a lot of info about the car due to the fact that I purchased it for my kid brother who eventually decided on a big car with a V8. I do have all receipts for parts purchased and can happily share any info I have from my experience with it and the work performed by the mechanic.
This VW has a clean and clear Indiana Title and is available immediately. I live in Mishawaka and can accommodate most times to see the vehicle.
Mileage listed is odometer reading, due to age of vehicle mileage is unknown.
Please feel free to call, text, or email.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Chrysler recalls 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers
Sun, Feb 7 2016The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Air Bag Control Unit Power Supply Corrosion Report Receipt Date: JAN 29, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V047000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 112,001 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: FCA US LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured December 31, 2007, to August 31, 2008, 2008-2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured June 18, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and 2009 Volkswagen Routan vehicles manufactured August 11, 2008, to August 31, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
