This is a great car for someone who wants to build that special show car as this car is a solid base or a fun daily driver.

You are bidding on a nice 1978 Convertible Beetle with original working stock fuel injection and 1.6l engine. New battery and tires. Paint is bright and original color, but car has been repainted, has a few small scratches. New battery and tires and shocks(rear). Top both inside and outside perfect. All glass in great shape. The only problems are as follows; The driver seat vinyl is bad, took off seat covers to show that in photos. Brakes are a little squishy, but work (except the passenger rear wheel), but no E-Brake functionality. Also the Odometer is non-functional, (speedo and other indicators work) so the title reads 00,000 miles. Note, I have the WA state plate, and car registered, just left the vanity plate on the car because its fun and this car really only sites in my garage anyway. And finally, the radio in the dash is loose. Works just fine, just needs to be bolted down properly

I bought the car as a fun project car and never really had the time to turn it into a show car. Car is however a lot of fun to drive

The rear passenger side drum brake doesn't work, my plan was to convert all four brakes to disc via the JC Whitney kit but never got around to it.

Car is great fun to drive, and turns heads. The first thing people ask is if this is the original color, yes it is. In 1978, the Volkswagen Beetle came is some pretty vibrant colors, this Chrome Yellow is one of them.

I will bring the car to you if the range from zip code 98019 is less than 50 miles, otherwise you will need to make arrangements to come get the car.

Translogic 168: CES 2015 Roundup

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
