The buggy is titled in the state of Ohio as a 1968 vw roadster and street legal.

I have owned the buggy for 3 years and have slowly been updating the engine. Didn't know much about VW's before buying and have learned more than I wanted too about air-cooled vw's. If you are new to VW's -- be sure to do your homework or you might be buying a project. The first year I owned mine I seemed to always be broken down on the side of the road.

The buggy has a new re-built 1835cc dual-port motor and I only have put 2,000 miles on it so far. The transmission has also been upgraded to a 3-rib IRS (later style) transmission shaft and throw out bearing with new clutch plate. It's a salvage transmission, not rebuilt, and shifts perfectly. Reverse and all gears shift easily with no grinding. The buggy has also been totally re-wired because the original wiring had problems. LED taillights to ensure you are seen in traffic. Buggy has roller gas pedal but can have pedal added.

A new Weber progressive carburetor (32/36) DFEV carburetor with electric choke fuels the motor. The distributor has been upgraded to a 009 pointless distributor with built in pointless pickup. A full flow oil pump with filter has been added. The 12 generator was removed and replaced with a modern alternator. Ceramic dual exhaust system was added. A new speedometer which shows miles since new motor and fuel gauge also works. The volt and oil pressure gauge need wired to work. New front seats have been added. The seats don't recline but can move back and forth for adjustment. The passenger seat cover has a small hole but the color of the seats always can be changed with new seat covers. The seat covers cost around $40.00 each.

The buggy has a bad boy air horn installed and just had a front wheel alignment.

The buggy's motor and performance are excellent. Nice rumble sound and has some power. Top speed is around 80-85 but I can go faster if traveling downhill. People always ask top speed by hearing the engine when I am driving around town. I have to remind them it's a 4 cylinder engine powered by 1960's technology.

Things which still need done on the buggy: It still has drum brakes and could be upgraded to disc brakes on the front to ensure better stopping power. It does need cosmetic work but this is a turn-key buggy ready to drive.

You can call and ask for Mark (216)-799-6555. You can also text me or e-mail with any questions. I tried to explain all parts on the buggy but ask if you have any questions in case I forgot something. I also can include a used tow-bar used to transport vw buggies and single roll bar which I removed because it was a hassle for passengers to enter the back seat.

If out of the state of Ohio: check your laws because some states don't allow buggies to be titled for street use or make it difficult.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Audi to keep hiring workers despite VW diesel scandal

Tue, Oct 27 2015

Even while Volkswagen contemplates delaying or canceling projects to pay for costs related to the massive diesel emissions scandal, its stablemate Audi is hiring, according to Reuters. Audi certainly isn't immune to the diesel scandal, with around 2.1 million affected vehicles worldwide including 13,000-14,000 in the US, but the scandal so far isn't affecting staffing levels. "We are sticking with plans for strategic growth and are continuing to hire new employees as planned," Audi board member for human resources Thomas Sigi said in a German newspaper, according to Reuters. Sigi even suggested paying a "respectable" bonus to workers next year. Audi has some big projects on the horizon, too. Among them, the company intends to launch a production version of the E-Tron Quattro Concept in 2018, and for performance fans a new TT RS appears to be on the way. The new A4 should be a big contributor to global volume when its worldwide rollout is complete. Rather than allowing the diesel scandal to hurt all of its divisions, the VW Group instead wants to concentrate the fallout (and costs) on the VW brand, according to Reuters. Those expenses could be huge. Volkswagen is budgeting around $7.3 billion just to repair the 11 million emissions-cheating vehicles. Worldwide, maximum estimates put the whole mess at $87 billion.

Volkswagen Beetle special edition concepts hit NY [w/poll]

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Buying a retro hatchback or convertible like a VW Beetle is nothing if not a fashion statement, and nobody knows that better than Volkswagen itself. Which is likely why the German automaker is bringing four concept versions of the Bug to the New York Auto Show this year. Most intriguing of the quartet – to our eyes at least Â– is the Beetle R-Line concept, which takes a more performance-oriented approach. It's got 20-inch alloys riding on a wider track, an aero pack including a rear diffuser and spoiler, and black trim that looks great in contrast to the white pearl finish. The interior has been upgraded, as well, with sport buckets, carbon trim and yellow details, and the concept is powered by the 2.0-liter TSI engine with 217 horsepower. The R-Line concept won't be taking the stage alone, however, joined as it will be by the magenta-sprayed Pink Color Edition hatch, the beach-themed Wave and jeans-wearing Denim edition convertibles. Though all are billed strictly as showcars for the time being, VW admits it will be gauging public reaction to all four to determine potentially putting them into production for public consumption. So, that in mind, have a look at all the concepts in the gallery above, and tell us which one you like best in the poll below. VOLKSWAGEN AT THE 2015 NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW - Four Beetle Special Edition concepts introduced: Beetle Convertible Denim, Beetle R-Line, Beetle Convertible Surfer, and Beetle Pink Color Edition - All-wheel-drive Golf SportWagen Alltrack announced for production in 2016 - Volkswagen celebrates 60 years of Beetle heritage New York, New York - Volkswagen of America, Inc., today announced that it will produce the all-wheel-drive Golf SportWagen Alltrack for the U.S. market beginning in 2016, and showed four unique Beetle and Beetle Convertible models that help to commemorate Volkswagen of America's 60th anniversary. Golf SportWagen Alltrack Coinciding with the arrival of the all-new Golf SportWagen, currently available in dealer showrooms, Volkswagen is pleased to announce that the all-wheel-drive Alltrack model will go on sale in 2016 as a 2017 model. "We have heard from dealers and customers that they want to see a Golf SportWagen with the all-terrain capability that comes from all-wheel drive," said Michael Horn, President and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
