Scotch Plains, New Jersey, United States

1972 Superbeetle, great restored running condition. Needs very little work for a complete restoration. If your are serious, please read on.... All rust on body, pan, wheel wells was professionally repaired by very reputable local VW shop including replacement of battery tray and front lower frame head. Very presentable older (5+ years) exterior paint (original red paint in interior and trunk), a few nicks and dings typical of a 40+ year old car that can be driven anywhere, but a real head turner standing 5-feet back or driving down the road. Strong 1600 Dual Port engine has no end play on main shaft. Good clutch and transaxle, car shifts very smooth in all gears. Transmission side and main seals replaced. Good CVC joints. New Solex carb, new correct distributor,new fuel pump, new exhaust system, new hoses and lines and engine wiring. Rebuilt starter, recent battery. Solid working heater boxes and channels, heat works perfect. All correct engine tin is in place with new engine bay seal and the thermostat and flappers work perfect, this car runs cool even after 100 miles on a hot summer day. All air ducts replaced, vents, cables and levers fully functional, even the defrosters work. Two-speed fan fresh air motor rebuilt and works as it should, wiper motor rebuilt and works, washer converted to electric pump. All NEW BRAKES just done including brand new drums all around, lines where needed and new front wheel bearings. Master and wheel cylinders all checked and in good non-leaking working order. New parking brake cables installed, handle rebuilt. New urethane front bushings and steering damper. New rear shocks, good non-leaking front struts. Tires on car have less than 3000 miles, comes with two extra new, unused tires, one mounted on extra rim and a brand new mounted spare tire in trunk, three extra tires in all. Gas tank fully cleaned and all lines and seals replaced, new sending unit installed, gas gauge works perfect. Car has NO gas smell inside or in garage, white plastic evaporator tank is intact and re-vented below car (sorry, the charcoal canister is long gone!) New TMI seat re-upholstery kit, front and rear. New 3-point shoulder belts and new rear lap belts. Nice original carpet and new mat set. Replaced interior door and rear side panels. Custom orange shift ball. New Dual stereo radio with SD, USB and Aux inputs, mp3 player/Pandora radio from your phone ready! Four new speakers with new kick panel baffles in front. New antenna too. Car comes with original working rebuilt Sapphire AM-FM radio and a new 5" in dash speaker if new owner desires to switch it back to original. Original working VDO optional clock! All lights on dash pod work as they should. New glove box liner. All wiring has been gone over and every thing works including back-up lights and dome light. New tail and parking light lenses and a new beep beep horn! Underdash Aux charging jack also added. Body has many new gaskets and all new fender bead installed. Car is fully undercoated. Good original door seals. All locks work, 3 sets of keys included. New trunk latch and cable plus custom emergency override cable installed in wheel well. Good trunk liner and nice custom carpet. Fresh chrome bumpers with NOS bumper guard strips, new dual mirrors and chrome hood trim, nice original side moldings. Nice new rear mudflaps and rare dealer aux rear reflectors! Car also comes with shop manuals and some spare parts, trim rings, see photo. Now for what I prefer to call projects for the next owner, not negatives. The engine does have some typical VW oil leaks, mostly from the push rod tube seals from what I can tell. There is also some white smoke at start up after sitting awhile indicating some valve stem seepage. Again, I leave it to the next owner to have a shop or him/her to do it yourself to overhaul the engine at some point with a new gasket and seal set. (if you know these cars, then you know it will probably leak again within months of rebuilding it, just the way they are!) The only other thing it may need is the original headliner has a few tears, stains and patches and the dash has a few caulked up cracks, part of the patina of a vintage car. These items are replaceable but up to the new owner to decide if they want to go that far. Present odometer reads 80,XXX, not sure if this is original, could be based on body condition, but may have turned over once, I do not feel this is an issue with so much repaired or replaced. Overall the car has had a lot of TLC, time and money invested over the past 4 years, as much or more than the asking price. Buyer to arrange all transportation of the vehicle. Willing to deliver within reasonable distance and then remove my plates. (Call first to discuss) $500 Paypal deposit required at end of sale. Balance by cash or certified bank check at delivery. This is a great running 99% RUST FREE East Coast Superbeetle ready for years of driving enjoyment with all the major work already done. You will find very few cars with as much done to them and everything working on them as this one at this price. This is a vintage car being sold as-is with no warranty of any kind but has been fully described herein. The car is located in Central New Jersey, about 20 miles from New York City. Test drives and inspections are welcome. Feel free to send any questions or call 908-447-1621 and ask for Jeff.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
