Up for sale is a 1976 Volkswagen Beetle convertible! I am helping a friend sell his car. He has owned the car for six years. It was purchased as a fun car for his wife and has seen limited use. It is showing 62103 miles on the odometer at this time. It is unknown if the odometer has rolled over or not.
The car was painted seven years ago by the previous owner. The paint shows pretty well but here are two major runs on the front hood down by the hood handle as shown in the pictures. These are the only real flaws in the paint and it has held up well over time. The color is a little off of the original sonnengalb L13K paint code but is still a nice bright yellow. The sides are painted two tone white. The door jambs are painted to match the exterior of the car. The trunk and engine compartment remain in the original color and look very nice. There is no rust in the trunk, engine compartment or interior floorboards. The car itself is largely rust free with only surface rust on the outside of the floorpan underneath from the car being driven. The car is very straight with no body damage or dents. One fender was replaced prior to the paint job but it is hard to tell without disassembling the car. The engine is the stock unit and retains the stock fuel injection. The car runs and drives very nice and there are no mechanical issues. The fuel tank was recently replaced with a new one. The car retains the stock wheels and hubcaps in good condition. The tires have good tread but are starting to crack with time. All doors and windows work fine. The top and headliner are in good condition with no rips tears or fading. The top functions as it should and is weather tight. All of the glass is in good condition. The windshield was removed for the paint and has new rubber. The rest of the body seals are in good shape. All chrome, trim, and bumpers are present and undamaged. The interior is in very nice stock shape. The front seats have new covers in the stock style and the rear seat is in good original condition with no rips or tears. Door panels and carpet look good and are stock. The dash is nice with no cracks all the gauges function properly as do all of the lights. Overall the car is in great condition and is ready to drive and enjoy the summer fun!! |

BMW, VW partner with ChargePoint for high-speed charging network
Thu, Jan 22 2015To promote their plug-in electric vehicles, a number of electric vehicle makers are working overtime to get a charging infrastructure set up. Tesla is famously setting up a network of Superchargers around the world, and today BMW and VW have announced they are partnering with ChargePoint to install almost 100 DC Fast Chargers up and down the US coasts. Installing additional Level 2 chargers is also part of the plan. The new DC Fast Chargers will offer the SAE Combo connectors, which is available on both the e-Golf and the i3. The fast chargers will have "up to two 50 kW DC Fast chargers, or 24 kW DC Combo Fast chargers," BMW says. They will be installed roughly 50 miles apart between Boston and Washington, DC in the east as well as Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego in the west. The 24-kW DC Fast Chargers will fill up an empty i3 or e-Golf to 80 percent in a half-hour or 3.5-4 hours from the Level 2 cords. Speaking at an announcement ceremony at the Washington Auto Show today, ChargePoint CEO Pasquale Romano said that infrastructure investments like this will get more people to realize that they can use an electric vehicle as their only car, and Jorg Sommer, VP of product marketing and strategy for VW North America, said that it's clear that, "The EV is perfect for the daily driver." BMW, Volkswagen and ChargePoint Join Forces to Create Electric Vehicle Express Charging Corridors on the East and West Coasts. · A goal of nearly 100 DC Fast charging ports will be installed to support long distance and metropolitan electric vehicle travel with the BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf and other electric cars, along heavily trafficked corridors on both coasts, supported by Level 2 chargers. · These publicly available charging stations will be added to the existing ChargePoint network and can be easily accessed using a ChargePoint® or ChargeNow card. Washington, D.C., January 22, 2015 – At the 2015 Washington Auto Show, two of the top automakers, BMW of North America and Volkswagen of America, together with ChargePoint, the largest electric vehicle charging network, announced an initiative to create express charging corridors along heavily-traveled routes on the East and West Coasts.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
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.
