ENJOY LIFE! DRIVE A CONVERTIBLE! Up for NO RESERVE AUCTION is this Beautiful
1976 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible! If
you have ever owned or driven one of these great little cars, you know what fun
they are! Just running errands is a
blast. And a top-down ride on a
beautiful day is pure pleasure. It has always been a weekend driver, never used
every day. New factory yellow paint about two years ago, it's very straight and
shiny. The interior is in great
condition; the seats have lots of padding, and no rips or tears. The convertible top is in excellent
condition with only two very small tears. Brand new tires on freshly painted factory
Sport Wheels. No Super Beetle shimmy or shake. Runs and drives excellent, has just received a full tune-up. I have a folder full of service and repair records dating back to 1999. A very nice car that you will be delighted to
own. Take it to your local
"Bug" show and be proud. Or
really enjoy life and drive it every day! What else can you drive with the history and
reliability of a Volkswagen? I have
owned and driven these cars for over 40 years now and I can tell you that this
is a very nice one -- a true "keeper". A lot of people restore these cars and some
do a good job. But here is a car that
doesn't need restoring! It has always
been kept in good condition. Beetle

Convertible came out and are sure to steadily increase in value. Whether you

Autoblog Podcast #327:
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
