1976 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible on 2040-cars
Tacoma, Washington, United States
Up for sale is a 1976 Volkswagen Beetle convertible! I am helping a friend sell his car. He has owned the car for six years. It was purchased as a fun car for his wife and has seen limited use. It is showing 62103 miles on the odometer at this time. It is unknown if the odometer has rolled over or not.
The car was painted seven years ago by the previous owner. The paint shows pretty well but here are two major runs on the front hood down by the hood handle as shown in the pictures. These are the only real flaws in the paint and it has held up well over time. The color is a little off of the original sonnengalb L13K paint code but is still a nice bright yellow. The sides are painted two tone white. The door jambs are painted to match the exterior of the car. The trunk and engine compartment remain in the original color and look very nice. There is no rust in the trunk, engine compartment or interior floorboards. The car itself is largely rust free with only surface rust on the outside of the floorpan underneath from the car being driven. The car is very straight with no body damage or dents. One fender was replaced prior to the paint job but it is hard to tell without disassembling the car. The engine is the stock unit and retains the stock fuel injection. The car runs and drives very nice and there are no mechanical issues. The fuel tank was recently replaced with a new one. The car retains the stock wheels and hubcaps in good condition. The tires have good tread but are starting to crack with time. All doors and windows work fine. The top and headliner are in good condition with no rips tears or fading. The top functions as it should and is weather tight. All of the glass is in good condition. The windshield was removed for the paint and has new rubber. The rest of the body seals are in good shape. All chrome, trim, and bumpers are present and undamaged. The interior is in very nice stock shape. The front seats have new covers in the stock style and the rear seat is in good original condition with no rips or tears. Door panels and carpet look good and are stock. The dash is nice with no cracks all the gauges function properly as do all of the lights. Overall the car is in great condition and is ready to drive and enjoy the summer fun!! |

VW recalling 38k Jettas, Passats, Golfs and Beetles for fuel leak
Wed, Dec 31 2014Earlier we reported on a recall issued for the 2015 VW Jetta regarding a problem with the headlights, and now Volkswagen and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued another recall for a separate issue affecting not only the Jetta, but several other models as well. The issue revolves around a sealing cap in the fuel rail, which could leak fuel into the engine compartment and potentially cause a fire. The problem affects an estimated 37,979 vehicles in the United States, including the 2014-15 Jetta (manufactured between March 28 and November 24, 2014), the 2014-15 Passat (April 7 to November 18), the 2015 Golf and GTI (July 1 to November 20) and the 2014-15 Beetle and Beetle Convertible (March 31 to November 27). That covers pretty much the entire range offered by Volkswagen of America, short of the Tiguan and Touareg crossovers (and the discontinued Eos convertible). Considering, though, that VW routinely sells around 30,000 vehicles in the US each month, the small number of vehicles being recalled (relative to the quantity out there) tells you this recall really only affects a specific cross-section of models. Owners of the affected vehicles can expect to be contacted by their dealers to have the fuel rails replaced. RECALL Subject : Fuel Leaking Into Engine Compartment Report Receipt Date: DEC 22, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V809000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 37,979 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured March 28, 2014, to November 24, 2014, certain 2014-2015 Passat vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to November 18, 2014, certain 2015 Golf and GTI vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to November 20, 2014, and certain 2014-2015 Beetle and Beetle Convertible vehicles manufactured March 31, 2014, to November 27, 2014. A sealing cap at the fuel rail may fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails with new parts, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 24Bi.
