This is a 1976 Volkswagen Convertible Beetle. The car has sat for a long time and was un touched. The story on the car is it needs to be restored as it is pretty much complete and in decent shape but it does need restored. The body is in fair shape but has its usual rust in the usual rust areas. The heater channels and reinforcement rails will need replaced as they are looking weak. The doors still open and close OK but the rails and channels will need replaced. The floor pans were partially patches up by the previous owner but could use some work. The strut tower area is still good but the lower inner fender area will also need so rust repair. The interior is in good condition as all the seats are there except the rear bottom. The dash is complete and has NO cracks and the face of the dash is still good looking. Wiring seems to be un touched but the battery is dead. The car does roll and steer freely and comes with a CLEAN OHIO TITLE in my name. all the glass is in good shape and the chrome frames are still decent. The top is OK but has one small hole and will also ned replaced down the road. The car also comes with the original engine as I was told did run before but from sitting so long it does not turn but is pretty complete and should free pretty easily. I have additional pictures so if needed please feel free to ask. I will NOT DELIVER the car as the lucky bidder is responsible for the pick-up of the vehicle.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.

eBay Find of the Day: Unrestored Herbie Love Bug movie car

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Well before Cars ever hit the screens, The Love Bug series of Disney films – starring Herbie the VW Beetle with a mind of its own Â– was an early introduction to cars and racing for many budding auto fans. Not the modern remake starring Lindsay Lohan mind you, but the originals from the '60s and '70s. Now, a seller in Texas claims to be offering a chance to own one of the Bugs from the films on eBay Motors. According to the auction, this Beetle didn't appear in the original film but was built for the sequel Herbie Rides Again in 1972 and also appeared in the third installment Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. This VW was prepared as the blind-drive car for the movies that attached a low-mounted chair in the back and extended controls to let Herbie look like he was driving himself. Although, some of the photos here show the Bug with regular seats fitted, too. This Herbie was reportedly found in a Florida warehouse a few years ago. It was then made operable, while trying to keep it as original as possible. The exterior underwent a slight restoration with input from former Disney special effects staff, according to the seller. The changes added new graphics and rebuilt the blind drive setup. Judging by these pictures, the rest of the interior was left mostly untouched, though. Of course, anyone interested in buying a movie car is going to want proof of its authenticity. The seller claims to have the original California title showing the buyer as Disney in 1972. The Bug also reportedly has a unique rear decklid that mixes early and later parts to help identify it in the film. As of this writing, bidding for Herbie sits at $55,100 with 82 bids and a reserve not yet met. The sale closes on Saturday, December 13.
