94K MILES

RECENTLY RESTORED BARN FIND

NO RESERVE!! 

Being offered at NO RESERVE:

- 1973 VW Beetle in amazing BRIGHT ORANGE with only 94k miles.

- MADE IN GERMANY!! They simply don’t make vehicles like this anymore. With only 94k miles, this engineering masterpiece is barely broken in.

- From speaking with the owner, these are the original miles. However, we are disclosing that the title is marked as Not Actual Mile. The vehicle runs, drives and looks to have low miles. In addition, the title was previously renewed in 2008 and the odometer was recorded as 84k miles, so all signs lead us to believe the previous owner, that the vehicle’s true mileage is 94k; however, the title is marked (most likely mistakenly) as Not Actual Mile and we want to be as thorough and fair as possible to all potential bidders so we are disclosing this information.

- RUNS AND DRIVES 100%. We’ve had the vehicle on the highway at over 60 mph and the BEETLE IS IN EXCELLENT RUNNING CONDITION!!!

- As you can see in the pictures, the VW was restored. It appears to have been restored within the past 3-4 years based on how new everything appears. The chrome shines new, clearcoat and paint look a few years old tops and shine beautifully. While it is a very nice restoration job and the vehicle appears to have been taken down to its bare bones and restored properly, it is not without faults. There are some minor dings that were left in the body and the rear portion of the headliner has a few marks on it and is sagging in one spot. The dash has two cracks in the front center (driver side) that were filled and repaired but still visible.

- The interior otherwise looks great. Seats look great, carpets look new, the trim looks great. All rubber gaskets, glass, chrome trim, lights, door panels, sun visors, door handles look new.

- RUST-FREE!!!! I’ve included a bunch of undercarriage pictures. The body on this Beetle is rust-free. The undercarriage looks amazing. The orange you are seeing in the undercarriage pictures is because of the color of the vehicle. The underbody is in great condition. Frame, suspension and undercarriage components are all very solid.

- 1.6L 4 cylinder motor runs excellent. Great oil pressure and no heating issues. This motor is known for its reliability and not to mention its simple design allowing for easy, affordable maintenance.

- 4-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all gears! No grinding or slipping. Clutch feels great.

- Brakes, exhaust and suspension are all excellent.

- This is the perfect vehicle for an amateur collector or to use as a daily driver. Reliable, great on gas and a real head-turner, the next owner is really going to enjoy this Beetle for years to come.

- We have verified that the original color of the vehicle was indeed BRIGHT ORANGE! The paint job looks great and fresh. No chips in the clearcoat and the vehicle really shines beautifully.

- Please take your time, I’ve included a lot of high-definition pictures including close-ups in order to give all potential bidders a fair and accurate view of the vehicle.

- Original VW Chrome center caps over the BRIGHT ORANGE wheels look amazing and are a truly classic look.

- Wheels are wrapped in FOUR MATCHING, BRAND-NEW NEXEN TIRES.

- All matching VIN numbers present!!! THIS IS THE ONE!

- Original radio was replaced at some point with an aftermarket headunit. Audio sounds great.

- The Beetle has been kept in amazing running condition. I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this vehicle up and drive it cross-country. 100% TURN-KEY!!

- This is really a rare find: 1973 Volkswagen Beetle with only 94k miles in BRIGHT ORANGE and being sold at NO RESERVE!!

VW recalls 220,000 Atlases, Atlas Cross Sports for airbag defect [Updated]

Thu, Mar 31 2022

[Update: Audi of America has confirmed that no U.S. models are among the recall population for plug-in hybrid fire issue.] Volkswagen has issued yet another recall for its Atlas SUV, this time for side airbags that may not deploy correctly in an accident due to a problematic connection in one of the vehicle's wiring harnesses. The campaign covers 222,892 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models built for the 2019-2023 model years.  The issue stems from a connection with the wiring harness that runs from the A-pillar into the door. VW says that harnesses produced by one of its suppliers were not built with additional measures to prevent movement at the connection point. Small movements can cause abrasion of the metal contacts which could lead to a whole host of electronic misadventures, including the potential for airbag deployment to be delayed in a crash.  "Micro-movement of the wire harness (terminal A-Pillar to front door) can result in damage to the wire terminal surface. Damage to the surface can [result] in fretting corrosion which may cause sporadic interruption in the electrical connection to the components of the front door," VW said in its defect notice. "The airbag warning light may illuminate if a malfunction is detected. Other symptoms of a sporadic interruption of the affected electrical connection can be: inadvertent rolling down windows, inadvertent park brake engagement at low speeds (below approx. 3km/h or 1.8mph), warning regarding faulty door sensor," VW said.  Not every model built within the range defined above is subject to the recall; terminals from other suppliers were manufactured with the necessary safeguards in place. If you own a 2019-2023 Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport, keep your eyes peeled for a notification from VW regarding the campaign, likely some time in early-mid May.  PHEV problems Across the Atlantic, the VW Group mothership confirmed that it will recall more than 100,000 plug-in hybrid models worldwide to address a fire risk. The recall was launched in response to 16 reported incidents of fires stemming from insufficient insulation of the PHEV battery pack that allows the engine cover to make contact if it is not completely secure. If that happens, the heat from the battery can ignite the engine cover. The recall will cover PHEVs build by VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda, Reuters reports, including the VW Passat, Golf, Tiguan and Arteon — plug-in variants of which are not sold in the United States.

Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche. Read more in the press release below. Terra Motors is unveiling the A4000i electric scooter, which it will sell in Europe, at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
