You are bidding on a very nice, unmolested, rust free, 1975 VW Super Beetle Convertible. The cars runs well and has been garaged. It has plenty of pep, no smoke, tracks well, does not drift, stops well, shifts well, and is a lot of fun to drive. Everywhere it is parked, comments abound. It is not a frame off restoration or concourse vehicle; it has the normal wear and tear of a daily driver. It is very well preserved and myself and the previous owner put a lot of time and money into the car to make it nice. I am selling only because I need to thin out the stable for an impending move to Tennessee. This lovely car must go. A list of what has been done by myself or the previous owner is listed below and in no particular order:
Converted to carburetor by previous owner: early fuel injection units were problematic. Front brakes converted to disc by previous owner: Karmann Ghia exact fit New quality fabric top and exact factory color repaint job by previous owner: superb quality New quality fabric black boot to cover top when down New brake pads and chrome wheel covers New fuel gauge and bulbs in speedometer Rebuilt heater and defroster system: cables, ducts,levers,rods, etc. New halogen headlights and very bright New carpets in trunk and throughout car Seats front and rear professionally restored Clutch adjusted and replaced by previous owner. Front wheel bearings repacked, one wheel cylinder replaced New battery tie down, cables, points, condenser, plugs, valve adjustment, oil and transmission fluids changed New rear shocks Original Radio Rebuilt professionally New windshield washer system installed (electric): red button on the dash Parking brake adjusted, new fuel cap Various interior parts replaced: Grip for top, arm handle, outside mirrors, inside light, horn rebuilt Two separate talented VW specialists went through this bug and we literally fixed whatever was wrong. I was going to have the engine overhauled and both said I was wasting my money. The car just runs that well: It starts right up, shifts well, and is fun to drive. Everywhere I drive it, park it, or stop at a stoplight: I get many compliments and stories about their bug.... I have priced the reserve very fairly and will not divulge it. Including the cost of the car, I have over $16,000 invested. Issues: fuel gauge reads 3/4 full when it is full. Not much else comes to mind: body is in great condition; no rust on floor pans, underneath looks great. I will apologize in advance for some of the pictures will be rotated and I have done my best to fix them but to no avail. |

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:
China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future
Mon, Apr 27 2015Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.
