You are bidding on a 1974 standard beetle.

This is VW bug that was manufactured 11/73.

The speedometer reads 27125.

The bug, runs drives and stops.

It has a clear title.

And also has a new battery and tires.

The bug was used as a college commuter up until very recently.

Overall it a decent little running, driving, and stopping vehicle. It does need some attention but I think most are pretty easy fixes. Here's what I would think it needs to make it a daily driver. The drivers door outside handle latch has fallen off. I don't know if you need just the little latch or a new handle. (currently you have to reach through the vent window or open from the passenger side) The turn signal lever just kinda flops around in the column and I suspect the handle needs replaced. The bug could use some fine tuning and may need motor mounts as the motor seems to rock back and forth at times more than I think it should.

Body- The bug was originally orange and then received a quicky green paint job. The bug does have a few dent's and dings but is relatively straight overall. The bug has very little rust. It has a couple holes under the battery, the passenger vent behind above the rear 1/4 has a little bubbling rust out (see pics), and the rear floor pans where feet go have some small holes other wises it's very solid.

Engine- Starts right up every time. It smokes just a little if it hasn't been started in a while but smooths out and runs pretty strong (see video)

Drivetrain - the transmission seems to shift just fine. No weird noise or anything.

Brakes- The brakes work good it stops when you tell it to and the E-brake engages and disengages as it should.

Electrical- Head, tail, marker, emergency lights work fine. The wipers also work, however the turn signal lever on the wheel is broken (needs fixed), horn doesn't work, and radio doesn't power up(could be a loose wire just haven't even tried to figure it out)

Interior- The interior is still functional but well used. The seats, headliner, door panels of course have some wear and tears. The hood release in the glove box does not function and it is missing a sun visor on the passenger side and missing the sun visor retaining clips on both sides.

Overall its a decent little running, driving, stopping bug that could use a little TLC. It is in no way perfect, but a good start to a great classic bug. This little bug isn't all butchered up. With a little work it could be a good daily driver, maybe you wan't to turn it into a buggy, or can give it the love it needs to take it all the way back to factory original!

Don't miss your chance to own this wonderful classic. These little bugs are getting harder and harder to find and just going up in value! Please ask any questions or request any specific photo before bidding.

The bug is located in Boise, Idaho. I would be happy to show it in person just ask. The bug needs to be fully payed for within 7 day of auction end and needs to be picked up within 30 unless other arrangements are specifically made with me. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements.

Again this is your chance own a fun little car classic car! Happy Bidding!

"It's massive," explained Garden State Euro's Ryan Topken. "You have tons of vendors, tons of events going on. There's the show. There's the drag strip. There's autocross." "It's pretty much like a frat party for Volkswagens," added fellow club member Carlin Belkowski. Will the guys from Garden State Euros head home with any hardware?

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits

Wed, 15 May 2013

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
