1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Kankakee, Illinois, United States
|
I have for sale my 1973 Super Beetle. I picked up this car 1 1/2 years ago as payment for work on 2 other cars and planned on making it road worthy. However plans have changed, new house & another child, and I offer this up for sale.
This car was amateur restored quite some time ago and driven semi-regularly until 2011 when the brake lights quit working, and then was parked outside uncovered until I got it. By then the drivers floor pan, heater channel, and pedals had rusted. Drivers floor pan, drivers heater channel, spot behind floor pan, & very small spot on passenger floor pan by the toe area. Area under the battery is NOT rusted through. Drivers door is rusting at what I assume is a patch line, so is the drivers side behind the door. The engine is a "owner called it new" but appears to be a remanufactured engine -supposedly with less than 5K on it. I had the engine running before I stripped out the interior by using a jumper pack and pouring gas down the carb, ran excellent while the fuel lasted. Fuel tank appears to have been replaced, or absolutely outstanding original condition. But smells of old gas. Interior has had the carpeting removed (and gone) rubber floor mats are in trunk. Seats are in very good condition, door panels are a thin plywood, headliners sags as usual. Wheels are what appear to be Empi's and with some TLC (paint &polish) would be nice again. Right front brake was stuck when I got it & in the process of breaking it loose, chipped the drum. So RF brake: shoes missing drum bad. Tires probably only have the 5k miles since restoration, but are badly weather checked. All glass is good, as are all the fenders. Easy, LOL, restoration or an awesome parts car. Mileage on odometer reads 20680, actual is unknown. IL title because of age is exempt, spot for mileage is blank. Car is located 5 miles West of Kankakee, IL which is right by I-57, 30 miles from I-55, & 40 from I-80 so easy access. The car will need to be trailered from my location, IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE. I am able to store it for two weeks to give you time to arrange picking it up, if fully paid for. Preferably I would like it gone ASAP. Any questions are more than welcome, you are also encouraged to come and inspect it (email me). Please ask all questions before bidding, your bid is a binding contract to buy.
All nonpaying winners will be reported to eBay and blocked from any of my future auctions.
I do combine shipping with other items (if I have multiple auctions).
Please check my feedback, I have 100% positive and strive to keep it that way.
PLEASE look at all pictures and ask any questions you may have before bidding. |

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials
Fri, Sep 11 2015Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
