When I bought it I didn't know what to look for so be careful when buying a old bug.Had to rebuild the front end. New Swing arms and Bushing, all new tie rods complete linkage. Had it professionally aligned at a German car repair outfit. She goes straight all the time, especially when stopping. This is a long list. New shocks, front bearings, rear suspension rubber stops. Has the original smog system on it,I went to great lenghts to get it right- all the correct hoses from the gas tank to the charcoal filter to the original air box.Rebuilt motor, with next size up cylinder she runs strong. New Crossover tube for carburetor, new carburetor, new german distributor NOS (new old stock), new alternator , original air box, new muffler,I added the aftermarket oil filter system when the motor was rebuilt so it sports a real oil filter..Good spare in front with new cardboard trunk covers. Has the original jack and hub cap remover. All new windshield whipper hardware, original stuff. New rubber around the motor area.
Upholstery and Paint are nice and were done by previous owner, he was into cosmetics and nothing else. The Headliner has been redone with the sun visors, they are not original but look very factory and new. And the heater works, new cables and original German Hoses that actually transfer lots of heat. I sandblasted the rims and had the paint heat baked on, 4 new tires. The rims are original and look great, slapped new hub caps on as well, there good quality not chinese but not German. Parts that I have that I have not installed. New window hardware$200, New rubber kit for windows includes all door and window rubber and felts $300, A original steering wheel with no cracks $350, new turn signal unit $150, new windshield washer switch and all hardware to make it work with the air in front tire$200. I also have brand new rubber and end caps for the front and rear bumpers, Note the bumpers are original, Bug City says they are hard to find with the originals. I would say its a daily driver, and one of the best looking Beetles rolling around my neck of the woods. You can just jump in and go. Of all the cars that I own this is the one you can count on to take you somewhere. Starts every time, runs strong very dependable. Like with all 40 year old vehicles there is a couple things that need to be fixed up, but its ready to drive. Anyone who has driven it always comments on how nice it drives and looks. Some of my friends have begged me to drive it they love it. I get more compliments on it than any car I have ever owned. It's real COOL.. |

VW readying two-row CUV concept for Detroit
Wed, Dec 10 2014We're likely getting yet another glimpse of Volkswagen's future crossover at the upcoming 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January. According to Automotive News, two anonymous sources within the automaker indicate a CUV concept will be shown there. The concept is said to be a five-passenger preview of the brand's future seven-seat model. Previous versions of the crossover have carried the name CrossBlue (pictured above), but there was no indication whether or not that would continue. The original three-row concept debuted at the 2013 auto show in Detroit, and VW followed it up with the CrossBlue Coupe Concept in Shanghai later that year. In early 2014, the company announced the CUV would go into production sometime in 2016, along with plans to invest $7 billion in North America over the next five years. During the summer, the automaker made things even more official when it declared plans to invest $900 million to build a 538,000-square-foot expansion into its Chattanooga, TN, factory to assemble the new model. Production of the crossover was slated to begin by the end of 2016, at the time. According to Automotive News, even more changes in VW's CUV lineup are on the way. The Tiguan is reportedly getting an update next year that could be joined by coupe and long-wheelbase variants, as well.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
