Custom restored '74 Super Beetle Convertible
JCS 2110 Dual Carb Engine
JCS Freeway Flyer transmission
Over 25K spent, lots of receipts.
I bought this car in July, 2010 from the owner who did the restoration. I bought it for my wife, and she has not really used it much. We have put 652 miles on it since we bought it and that is the reason we're selling it. With a street bike, dirt bikes, a ski boat and busy schedules, we don't really get time to use it.
The following is copied from the ebay listing by the previous owner:
This is a stunning light blue VW Classic Convertible. I have invested over $25K onm the restoration of this vehicle. the engine, transmission were purchased from JCS. The engine is a turn key 2110cc with the new engine and heads upgrade. Kennedy stage 1 clutch, performance exhaust, dual 40mm carb set, single side cover IRS transmission (388:1 R&P super diff, 11D street) total cost $5210.85 (I have the receipt)
The car comes with new wheels and tires and is also equipped with all four wheel disc brake conversion. New paint and nedw custom interior, it also has a new canvas convertible top with headliner. the suspension system also includes new front struts and rear shocks. All the rubber has been replaced and the dash assembly is also new. The radio needs to be installed and hooked up to the speakers, also the speedo is currently inoperative and the true mileage is unknown. (I have repaired the speedo, but it still pulses at low speed) The vehicle includes just about everything new.
I would add that this thing is quick, and with the higher geared transmission, it will gladly cruise down the highway at 80mph all day.
The previous owner was obviously an enthusiast.
He did spend a lot of money in all the right places and came up with a very appealing car.
Based on what I've seen recently, I would place the real market value of this car around $20K, and that will only go up with time. These old Beetles, especially convertibles are great investments.
Please check the pictures and video link (you can hear it run) carefully to insure you know exactly what you're buying, and good luck; summer is almost here!

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
