Rare 1978 Champagne Edition Ii Vw Super Beetle Convertible From Original Owner on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
I purchased this car from the original owner in 2013. Over the last year, the car has been joyfully driven and now it's time to pass it on. This is a rare find not only because of the condition of the car, the limited edition, the limited ownership, the original manuals, the low miles, how well it handles, and much more but also because it is ready to drive without a list of "things needed to be done." Only two of these cars were sent to each VW dealer in the US in 1978, which makes them very collectible (total of 1100 shipped). These cars featured Sport Wheels, Wood Grain Dash, White Top and Interior, Clock, Padded Steering Wheel and Upgraded Radio. The car is in excellent condition. It has a new top and headliner, original top boot (sort of dingy), as well as new seals on the top frame. It has all new seat covers front and back, as well as new carpet. The exterior paint job is new (clear coat + base) while the interior paint remains original. The German glass, chrome and lenses are original and in great shape. It has a new stereo w/ CD and MP3 as well as new speakers. The floor pans are solid with no rust appearing. New running boards were installed. Mechanically excellent- motor runs great with high compression, new filters, new fuel pump, new engine seals, injectors cleaned and serviced and new alternator/regulator. The brakes have been replaced, clutch rebuilt with no shifting issues or grinding or rattling. All electrical components function. New fuel sending unit and gauge have been installed, as well as entire fuel line from tank to engine has been replaced, along with all breather hoses. Suspension is great and handles tightly. Wheels have been refinished. Tires are not new but have plenty of tread. For any questions, please feel free to contact Jim at 704-517-6747. |

Watch the VW E-Golf get made
Fri, Jun 13 2014If you've ever been on a tour of an automotive factory, you know how mesmerizing it can be to see humans and robots work together to build our four-wheeled friends. The swift automation, the cleanliness, the trained hands deftly fitting pieces together and watchful eyes inspecting every piece of the car, it's all quite impressive, especially if the vehicle is one you, as an observer, are fond of. Even just seeing a fresh, gleaming badge being applied to immaculately painted sheet metal is enough to curl ones toes. Such is the case with this video from of the E-Golf being pieced together in the Volkswagen's Wolfsburg plant. There's no narration or music - just the sounds of production - so it's easy to follow the singular motions that go into the process without distraction, with a slight sense of actually being on the floor. This solo video is only seven minutes long, so it's not quite the epic that was the BMW i3 production series. Therefore, we miss a lot of the initial build, such as pressing the sheet metal, painting, and putting together a lot of the inner workings. What is refreshing to see is how much of the final touches of the electric Golf are done by hand using actual hand tools (and with typical German efficiency). There's even a person riding a bicycle through the factory at one point, which is common at Wolfsburg and also rather quaint. Enjoy the video below, and if you have a suggestion for a good soundtrack to go along with it, sound off in the comments. This content is hosted by a third party.

Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
