You are viewing a Special Edition 2002 Volkswagen New Beetle GLS with the concept “Double Mellow Yellow” paint and interior. These were a rare option in 2002 but they are still available every once in a while here on Ebay and other local websites. The interior is black and yellow “leather” with the turbo S style upgraded sport seats. The dash and door panels are also black and yellow……they aren’t like the normal GLS beetles that only came in grey or tan. The other way to pick out these “special” cars is the matching colorized wheel inserts. (yellow also)

This Beetle has the 1.8 liter turbocharged engine with 119,500 miles which is considered low miles. The timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt, coil packs, and idler pulley/slack adjuster were all changed out at 85,000 miles so it runs very well. It has the 5 speed transmission, AM/FM cassette / 6 CD changer, power moon roof, power windows, locks, 4 wheel disc brakes, and power steering.

Up to 3 weeks ago it was one of our daily drivers and then my wife was “rear ended” and it has been sitting since. While waiting on the other drivers insurance, I bought my wife another car and so now we don’t need this one. It has light damage (insurance estimate $1500) on the rear near the hatch. The tail light is broken and the bumper cover is creased. (see pictures) I am including a used original rear bumper cover and an original rear tail light/marker lights in the sale. I stopped selling and fixing New Beetles two years ago and these are parts from some of my parts cars. My loss, your gain. The car is not perfect but it’s pretty nice for a 13 year old car and extremely fun to drive. The drivers door panel has a crack by the lock (my fault when changing out the window motor) and the back lower seat has a rip (there when I bought it) and my wife put black tape over it so it wouldn’t rip worse. Any other issues are just age……like me. LOL

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
