Volkswagen Superbeetle 1971 Restored on 2040-cars
Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States
Nice Superbeetle car was pretty much 98% rustfree before restoration southern car always in Georgia as far as i know. Car was stripped for paint all fenders off interior out all windows out hood and trunk lid off. There was a little rust in the pans which were original they were repaired by welding and some new heater channel section welded in by battery area. We did not replace pans only repaired them they are in very sound shape. Body was prepped for paint and painted at the local Spray-n-Glow with urethane enamel single stage. Car was painted 2x by them to get it nice. It is not a show winner it is no ta perfect job but it is pretty darn nice especially from a few feet away. It is painted the original color Clementine orange and all the door jams were redone the underside of the hood under the hood and inside the trunk lid. the pans were repainted and undercoated inside and out to prevent rust returning. New carpet headliner new seat coverings new padding new door panels . Windows put back in with new rubber all lights put back on. Then taken to Vw shop to get all lights and signals working properly. I don't think horn works but interior light works. The blower does not work. Heat connected and working. Engine is a rebuild by PO and all I know is it runs well doesn't smoke and has good power. It is nicely detailed. All fuel lines and fuel tank cleaned and or replaced as needed.Brake lines replaced and master cylinder with help from VW shop they work very well and stay firm to the foot. The clutch was replaced and the rear main seal to curb the VW spot but she still leaks a drop when parked. Car driveable and running well. No front end shimmy. Very presentable driver with hardly a nick or scratch on it. 404-435-6943 for questions. NOTE CAR SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE ONLY WE ARE LEGALLY REGISTERED OWNERS BUT TITLE LOST ALONG THE WAY BY PREVIOUS OWNER AND WE CANNOT GET A REPLACEMENT IN GEORGIA SO DON'T ASK CHECK WITH YOUR STATE TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT LICENSED. BY THE WAY CAR IS OLD WILL IT MAKE IT TO MICHIGAN?????? MAYBE MAYBE NOT IT IS OLD IF YOU ARE MECHANICALLY INCLINED YES.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show
Mon, Nov 17 2014Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? – and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini
Mon, Dec 7 2015If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.
