1979 Vw Beetle Convertible Cabriolet on 2040-cars
Fairfax Station, Virginia, United States
|
1979 VW Beetle originally sold in Florida. Rare and desirable triple-white trim package with factory air conditioning.
The car has a very strong fuel injected engine that's been driven weekly for the last year. Just turned over 70,000 original miles. The car drives and shifts as it should and looks great. The brakes are solid with recent servicing. The AC is complete and works but doesn't blow cold anymore (recharge?). This bug appears to have been well maintained by its owners with no apparent major restoration. A great reliable driver with years of service left...drive now, restore later. It's a great 10-footer vehicle but there is some minor rust in a few places, including the lower passenger door edge (see pics). The headliner and inner batting is perfect but the outer vinyl convertible top could be replaced. It has an older paint job that's starting to show the years; very minor chips, small cracks, etc. Nothing too bad, just not a show car. Overall. this is a great car, easy to drive, and still has years of fun left in her without any major repair required. Reserve set well below NADA's Avg Retail price guide. I can help coordinate shipping if required. |

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive 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.
