1978 Vw Beetle Convertible Champaign Ii Edition With Only 24,863 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Harleysville, Pennsylvania, United States
Fuzzy Dice Autos
Has up for auction a very rare gorgeous, very low mileage
1978 VW Convertible. This is a special limited Champaign II Edition in a super
rare Peach Metallic Red color. The car is in excellent condition inside and
out. She has only has 24,863 documented miles on the odometer. This is
confirmed by the previous owner, the Pa title and other service receipts. The
owner purchased the car in 1979 when the odometer read 9,000.00 miles. She
drove the car during the summers and stored it in a climate controlled garage
in during the winters. They now had to sell the car because of a move to a
retirement development with no garage.
The body and under carriage are flawless. The only blemish
is appears on the front bumper where a small portion of the chrome is coming
off. The original paint still shines like new. I still have the “Poly Gly Coat”
warranty issued May 9, 1978. The white convertible top is original to the car
and is in excellent condition. The original white interior is equally as
beautiful. No rips, marks or defects of any kind. The only thing not original
is the after market radio equipped with CD changer. Even the clock works! This
special edition comes equipped with the wood grain dash and a fan for the
heater/fresh air system.
The original engine and drive train is like new. The car
drives strong and quiet. No issues what so ever. The car drives like it did in
1978.
This is one of the very nicest early Beetle convertibles
you will ever see. Plus it’s one of only 1200 made in 1978. This beauty is only
going to rise in value, so if this car interests you, then don’t hesitate to
place your bids.
We ask you first-time Ebay members to contact us before
placing your bid. Best of luck bidding! |

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand
Wed, Jun 3 2020Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
