THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION FOR AN INCREDIBLY WELL PRESERVED CLASSIC 79 BEETLE CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR HAS 76K ORIGINAL MILES AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL KEPT  AND MAINTAINED ALL OF ITS LIFE. I AM PERSONALLY A HUGE VW FAN AND OWN MORE THAN 15 CLASSIC VOLKSWAGEN'S RIGHT NOW. I COLLECT ALL SORTS OF CLASSIC CARS AND DO WELCOME TRADES HOWEVER MY GOAL RIGHT NOW IS TO GET FROM OVER 70 VEHICLES IN MY COLLECTION DOWN TO ABOUT 35. I STILL LOVE CARS AND WILL LOOK AT ALL TRADES. MY PROBLEM IS I HAVE ABOUT 35 OF MY CARS THAT NEED TO BE RESTORED SO I AM SELLING COMPLETE CARS AND FIXING THE PROJECTS.

THIS 79 BEETLE HAS A BEAUTIFUL RED PAINT JOB THAT SHINES VERY BRIGHT AND REALLY STANDS OUT ON THE ROAD. THE BODY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL SHAPE AND IS FREE FROM ANY RUST DINGS OR DENTS. THERE IS ONE SMALL SPOT ON THE HOOD SMALLER THAN A DIME THAT LOOKS LIKE WHERE A CHIP WAS TOUCHED UP. I HAVE A QUOTE OF 410.00 TO REPAINT HOOD BUT I REALLY DO NOT THINK IT IS NECESSARY. THE DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE NICE AS DOES THE HOOD AND TRUNK.

THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE AND I DO BELIEVE IT TO BE ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY THE SEATS ARE GREAT THE HEADLINER IS IN NICE SHAPE AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND OPENS AND CLOSES VERY EASILY.

THE BEETLE RUNS AND DRIVES BEAUTIFUL AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN TUNED BY CARL FOWLER A 25 YEAR AIR COOLED VOLKSWAGEN SPECIALIST. THE MOTOR STARTS RIGHT UP AND IDLES NICE. THE VEHICLE DOES NEED TO WARM UP IN THE MORNING PRIOR TO DRIVING. ALL AIR-COOLED VW'S SHOULD BE RAN AT IDLE FOR 2 MINUTES PRIOR TO DRIVING THEM IN THE MORNINGS. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT IS SUGGESTED BY VOLKSWAGEN THAT YOU DO THIS. THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION WORK PERFECT, THE TIRES ARE IN NICE SHAPE AND GO DOWN THE ROAD QUITE SMOOTH. 

CARL DID SUGGEST NEW FRONT SHOCKS AND BRAKES WITH A QUOTE OF 400.00 INSTALLED, HE DID NOT DEEM IT MANDATORY BUT ASID IT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT FEW THOUSAND MILES.

eBay Find of the Day: Unrestored Herbie Love Bug movie car

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Well before Cars ever hit the screens, The Love Bug series of Disney films – starring Herbie the VW Beetle with a mind of its own – was an early introduction to cars and racing for many budding auto fans. Not the modern remake starring Lindsay Lohan mind you, but the originals from the '60s and '70s. Now, a seller in Texas claims to be offering a chance to own one of the Bugs from the films on eBay Motors. According to the auction, this Beetle didn't appear in the original film but was built for the sequel Herbie Rides Again in 1972 and also appeared in the third installment Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. This VW was prepared as the blind-drive car for the movies that attached a low-mounted chair in the back and extended controls to let Herbie look like he was driving himself. Although, some of the photos here show the Bug with regular seats fitted, too. This Herbie was reportedly found in a Florida warehouse a few years ago. It was then made operable, while trying to keep it as original as possible. The exterior underwent a slight restoration with input from former Disney special effects staff, according to the seller. The changes added new graphics and rebuilt the blind drive setup. Judging by these pictures, the rest of the interior was left mostly untouched, though. Of course, anyone interested in buying a movie car is going to want proof of its authenticity. The seller claims to have the original California title showing the buyer as Disney in 1972. The Bug also reportedly has a unique rear decklid that mixes early and later parts to help identify it in the film. As of this writing, bidding for Herbie sits at $55,100 with 82 bids and a reserve not yet met. The sale closes on Saturday, December 13.

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.

Volkswagen feuds with thriving stablemate Skoda

Wed, Oct 4 2017

BERLIN, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Volkswagen managers and unions are seeking to curb competition from lower-cost stablemate Skoda, move some of its production to Germany and make the Czech brand pay more for shared technology, company sources told Reuters. As VW struggles to cut jobs and spending at German factories and turn the page on dieselgate, Skoda's superior car reviews and profitability have intensified the brands' rivalry within the Volkswagen empire. VW now wants to reduce what it sees as Skoda's unfair advantages - combining German technology with cheaper labor - and reaffirm the top-selling brand's primacy ahead of a wave of new electric car launches, the sources said. The tussle between VW and Skoda is reviving tensions at the heart of the Volkswagen group between profits and jobs, and between central control and autonomy for its 12 vehicle brands. "Instead of devoting our efforts to beating Tesla, we may just be setting up a futile internal conflict," said one manager. Once the butt of jokes, Skoda has blossomed under 26 years of VW group ownership into a successful mid-market carmaker, steadily winning business from rivals - including VW - and surpassing even Audi's operating profit margin last year. At the same time, VW is facing thousands of job cuts as management moves to trim excess capacity at German factories. Its powerful domestic unions see Skoda's success as both a threat and a potential lifeline. VW workers' representatives are now demanding the transfer of some Skoda production to their underused German plants, a source close to the supervisory board told Reuters. The proposal aims to offset declining output of the VW Passat and aging Golf that could otherwise threaten more jobs. They are also making the case that Skoda should pay higher royalties to use VW's main common vehicle platform. The so-called MQB architecture also underpins mid-sized models from the group's Audi and SEAT brands. Responding to the news, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said he would meet Skoda management and unions to ask for clarification. The government will seek to ensure that VW investment plans are followed through and that "production is not moved outside the country," a statement released by Sobotka's office said. Skoda's main union warned that a production shift could cost as many as 2,000 jobs. VW's works council declined to comment.
