Punta Gorda, Florida, United States
1979 Super Beetle Convertible Karmann Model with Fuel Injection beautiful condition with Owners Manual. Clear Title lists 2100 engine, exempt miles (odometer reads approx. 25,000). Title also lists vehicle as Orange (Mars Red is the actual color). Bought the car in Oct. 2011 from a dealer before it made it to the car lot; dealer had it brought to Florida, from Tennessee (original owner). New alternator, chrome bumpers, some other chrome parts, and master cylinder since I have owned it. It is a head turner and drives nicely. I have 2 others so I am letting this one go. Only serious bidders and ask any questions before bidding please. I also have this for sale locally and reserve the option to end this auction at any time. $500 deposit via Paypal due immediately upon end of auction. Cash payment for balance due within 7 days of end of auction. Vehicle pick up or shipping is the buyers responsibility. There is a slight chip in the windshield on the passenger side that has been there since I bought it which I treated with a sealer and has not spread; please see pictures. Top works in good shape no rips. Sold as is with no warranty so please again please ask any questions before bidding.
Just want to be clear about what I have stated above, the information that I have provided from the title is just that. I have no way to prove the actual mileage or engine size. The color is listed as orange but I got the Mars Red from a paint shop that did a electronic analysis of the paint. I do drive the car about once a week and keep it mostly in the garage but sometimes covered with a car cover on my lanai if I intended to use it again within a day or two. Remember to ask any questions before bidding. Thanks again for your interest. Reserve has been lowered! What an Awesome Christmas Present! Good Luck Bidding! |

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
