 1973 VW beetle, I have owned and driven this car everyday from 06/11 - 4/13 when the engine had a bearing issue and I removed it. This car really meant a lot to me and I have kept strict maintenance on it until 06/13. I really enjoyed this car while I was a student and traveling nurse assistant, now that I have a new job I just can't take the time to maintain this appropriately. I want to sell it to someone that will take care of it, I am going to be completely honest about it's condition. , please feel free to call me Noah Swift 717-273-1743 or e-mail at lebnoah@gmail.com.

----------------Pro's---------------

Minimal Rust
Dash has no sun damage
Both drive shafts replaced last year
Totally replaced ignition switch and signal wiring in steering column
Up to PA inspection standards on 5/13
No braking leaks or issues
No issues with gas tank, rubber gas hose replaced recently (gas gauge float does not work sometimes)
No stripped bolts on body or on trans-engine mount (transmission rubber boots intact, replaced last year)
No electrical issues
Shocks appear stock but I have had no issues with them.
Four brand new Touring tires with professionally painted rim
I put the transmission in myself in 2012, it was used, I bought it from a guy that was piecing a beetle in his shed for 600$. It does not slip, pop, or grind and the trans fluid is clear red with no burnt odor.
I have crawled under it every summer and sanded off any rust,then painted with about 4 coats of Rustoleum. Besides under the battery, there is no floorboard rusting. I did this with the fenders as well. Left rear fender has some rust thru (photo)
There are 2 stock seatbelts in the front with shoulder sttap, and I have installed 2 stock seatbelts in the rear.
New Cards on doors and rear. The seats are used but reconditioned with 2 tears (photos)
Headliner has no holes or sag, it is original.

-------------Con's----------------
There is NO ENGINE, it does come with a new Sachs Clutch (photo)
The steering shakes and should be restored, I am including a lot of the items needed for this (photo). If you are going to take the time to dissmantle the steering system this far I would recommend changing the steering box while you are up there, they cost about $100.00.
Window rubber and body rubber between fenders needs replaced., Front and Rear window rubber is like new.
Trunk and hood need re-aligned to open and shut correctly, all of the hardware is attached, it just needs reset.
Minor dents and minor rust (photos)
Speedometer cable is attached but nod placed into wheel.. speedometer does work.
Rear Light is cracked and will need replaced.
T-Bars (bumper bars) are not tightened down thoroughly, you will have to buy bolts from hardware store.
The assembly or opening and closing heater-vent is not there, you will need to buy these assemblies, I was holding open the vent with twist ties all winter then removing them in spring.
There is no radio, but it is ready to be connected to one and the speakers in both doors are new and do work.
You will need to buy some flashing for e.j. the hood and the panel under the doors.
The wipers work, I could never figure out how the wiper spray system works with the spare tire, but the assembly for this connection is there.
There is a rubber seal in the engine compartment essential for proper engine use.. you will need to replace this rubber seal.

--------------Included!!!!---------------

Brand new Sachs Clutch Set
1 year old Bosch Starter
Electronic heater blower
Spare Tire
Two Rollers, Two tie rod ends, and new set of polyurethane replacement bushings.
Two fan belts
One condenser
One acceleration cable
New Battery

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt

Sun, 08 Sep 2013


Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch

Mon, Jul 14 2014

Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
