1972 Vw Beetle, Standard, Autostick, No Reserve, Nice Car,garaged on 2040-cars
Smithsburg, Maryland, United States
You are looking at a 1972 Standard VW Beetle. This is not a Superbeetle. I realize the old joke that everyone has a California car. Well, this is NOT a California car, it is a Nevada car and I have the original owners manual dating back to 1972 to prove it. I truly believe this car to have 62k original miles. This car has been garage kept with Hagerty classic car insurance. I have owned this car for just over 4 years. It is a really nice solid VW bug. It runs and drives really well, and the transmission shifts just great. Janis, as my wife calls her, had a low compression engine. The engine was pulled and pistons and cylinders were replaced, along with new rod bearings and valve job with guides on the heads. All the basic tune up parts were done. Carb was rebuilt and I replaced the distributor with a new Pertronix SVDA from Aircooled.net. This distributor no longer takes points. It has made a world of difference. All brakes were replaced along with master cylinder and hoses. All new ball joints and tie rod ends, alignment and new tires were installed. It also has a recently replaced battery. It also received a new muffler and tailpipes. The VW runs and drives very nice. She has all the pick up to get up to speed of traffic with no problem. I had some trouble with dirt in the carb and pulled the tank and cleaned it. It came out nice. I replaced fuel hoses and filters. The paint was done about 4 years ago as well and hasn't been driven in any bad weather and surely not when there was a threat of salt on the roads. The interior is in pretty nice shape with great seats and new carpet. There are some slits in the headliner which is evident in the pictures. The paint job was not done to make a show car, rather a car that can be driven without worry. It's a nice job, not perfect, but it really turned out to be a good looking car. It's a good time to run this car around. There is no clutch pedal to have to fool with. If you have never driven an autostick, it gives you the advantages of a stick shift without the need to work the clutch pedal all the time. Very fun to drive and you'll get a lot of waves in the bright green color. My wife chose the color with the understanding that I insisted it be a nice bright color that is easily seen to avoid accidents. Hood latch cable should be replaced and the pass side seatbelt should as well. This car is being sold as is. I hate to see it go, but am only selling this along with a 73 Camper VW bus to make room for a new addition. This car is definitely a favorite, but the garage is full and we have no choice. Feel free to email me with any questions or for more pictures. Cash In Person. Buyer makes a $250 pay pal deposit upon winning auction and can pay remainder within 10 days. DO NOT assume the advertisement price is your shipping costs. Please research any shipping costs prior to bidding. For some reason, my shipping details are not coming up on the listing. The vehicle stays here until paid in full. If you plan to have this car shipped, please research this prior to bidding. I recently had someone win a bid from California, and then announced he couldn't afford to ship it. He saw the advertisement on the screen for some cheap shipping quote and didn't read it. Only assumed it was accurate and then I had to relist it. I have set this up with NO RESERVE. A bit of a risk, but it needs to go. Thanks for your consideration. |

Volkswagen tipped to launch turbocharged Up! with 100 hp
Tue, Jan 6 2015Overseas customers enticed by the compact dimensions of the Volkswagen Up! but turned off by its diminutive 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine may be encouraged by reports that the German automaker is planning a more potent turbo version. Previewed by the GT Up! concept showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (pictured above), the more performance-oriented model is expected to pack the turbo three from the larger Polo, where it produces 100 horsepower channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. That may not seem like much, but it would put the existing 59- and 74-horsepower versions of the German city car to shame. That might not give it enough punch to keep pace with the upcoming Smart Fortwo Brabus (and its Renaultsport Twingo counterpart), tipped to pack as much as 130 hp, but it could stand to out-perform the existing 89-hp turbo models of both. Given that the reports are emanating from Brazil, however, it is possible that the Up! Turbo (or whatever it's ultimately called) would be limited to the South American market, if it's built at all. One thing's for sure, though: it's not likely to make it to North American showrooms anytime soon.
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.
Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
