Vw Super Beetle Bug Convertible Car 1974 Model - Nice Condition!! on 2040-cars
Williamston, North Carolina, United States
|
POSTING FROM MY DAD: I’m 80 years old and selling my 1974 VW Beetle convertible in order to consolidate my affairs. I’ve had it for many, many years and had it repainted about 10 years ago. The paint still looks good as you can see. I’ve washed the outside but I can’t get inside easily to clean and I’m not about to try, but from the pictures you can see it’s in nice shape (a little dusty though). I’ve cranked it regularly (every week) and run it. It’s been some years since I’ve had it licensed for the road, but I can tell you it runs well, and gears work fine. I’ve driven it in our yard occasionally. The convertible top was replaced when it was reconditioned years ago as well. You can tell it still looks like-new. The body is in great shape. The metal is excellent, which is something you should look at with these older cars. Very solid throughout. The floor pans (like most beetles) needed replacement and I had that professionally done when it was refurbished (both sides). You can see the sticker still on the pan from my picture taken (some persons selling their VW’s try to cover up problems with tar or paint, mine is just as you see it and in excellent shape). Very solid car. Any rust you see underneath is superficial. Tires have excellent thread. Engine runs great. I just put a new fuel pump on it and gas rubber lines. It runs well. Glass is nice, no cracks. Chrome accent strips are in excellent shape and no bends/breaks/pitting/etc. Bumpers are solid and straight. No dents/dings in them. Steering wheel has a couple of cracks (which is typical of these cars). Dash has a hard cover on it, but looks nice. This model has a clock in the dash as well, which is rare. Brakes are in great working condition. I’d say you don’t need anything with this car to get it on the road and licensed and driving, maybe some gas. What you see is in what shape it really is. You’ll find that you can clean this car up much better and make it look so much better. This is one of the best VW Bug Convertibles you can get in this shape. You won’t be disappointed when you see it. I take cash only. I have clear title. My reserve on this auction is not high. Feel free to call me with any questions 252-792-3158 Delma. Come buy it and drive it home. This car is located in Williamston, NC. |

VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.
World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.
