Very nice VW classic convertible finished in Carolina blue with black leatherette interior that has always been stored inside. I recently had the car gone over by a certified VW mechanic who specializes in older Beetles. It was this mechanics opinion that the engine had been rebuilt at some point but I received no documentation when I bought the car. As you can see in the photo of the engine bay...it's very clean with many new parts. Here's the work I had done and what I found out:
brakes are excellent and fairly new
has a current Virginia inspection through September 2013
has new front end bushings
all valves adjusted and carburetor cleaned
No rust- solid all around (see underneath photos)
front end just alligned
new ignition switch
The dealer I purchased this from told me that the restoration is about 10 years old which included new paint and a freshened interior... I was advised that for the past 7-8 years the car sat on the showroom floor of a Pennsylvania VW dealer. The interior was nicely redone and the only issue is one split seam on the drivers seat. No dash cracks. Fairly new pioneer cd stereo.
The convertible top appears to be on the original frame and has a liner and white headliner. There are no rips or tears in the top and it appears recent... includes a nice black boot cover as shown. **please note that the photos with the top up do not show it latched- thus the gap in the front near the window.
Tires are excellent and all chrome trim rings and caps shine.
Bumpers are rust free
The engine starts effortlessly, runs smoothly and does not smoke. No leaks! The transmission and clutch are excellent. Mileage is a guestimate based on the history I've received from the previous owner and when a restoration was completed. The odometer/speedo occassionally stops so the exact mileage is unknown. The title I have says 55,163 miles
This Beetle needs nothing and is ready for spring top down cruising. As always, it needs to be said that this car is over 30 years old and it is not a show car. There are the usual small nicks here and there but all appears exactly as shown in the photos. I have set the reserve below market value for an "average" condition vehicle- this car is certainly ABOVE average condition both cosmetically and mechanically. Finally- the car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if the reserve has not been met.
On Feb-14-13 at 13:29:55 PST, seller added the following information:
update 2/14: just drove the car around town today and wanted to correct the description above which I originally did from memory... there is one dash crack in the typical spot above the speedometer. The speedometer IS working- the odometer is not. The fuel guage was working last week- now it's not. If you've ever owned an older car- you know the drill. Oh, and I got to drive around town in mid-February with the top down- can't beat that!

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
