1977 VW Super Beetle Convertible Champagne Edition
In 1977 and 1978 VW issued one Champagne Edition Convertible to each dealership also known as a "Special US Sales Campaign" model 723. This was essentially a "Triple White" convertible but used a sand colored convertible top and had a set of four gold stripes running along the bottom of the doors and quarter panels. The 1977 model hadd faux burled elm inserts and the 1978 had faux rosewood dash inserts. Both had opal colored ribbon weave seat and smooth door panel coverings. Approximately 1000 total triple white S723 convertibles were sold in the US. My father purchased this car about ten years ago at a Goodwill Auction in Richmond Virginia. It had come from the Sausalito CA area by the sticker on the rear bumper and is in amazing shape. It is a California car having catalytic converter. This car is in excellent condition. My father installed a new top, seats and door panels. Still has the original boot. This car has only 45,000 miles which is amazing. This special model also ca,e with the original sport wheels. It still has the original radio as well. He has gone through the engine with new cylinder heads (have old ones in a box) new mahle Pistons,rings and pins, new connecting rod bearings and all new gaskets. Rebuilt alternator and starter. Air flow meter has been recalibrated. Interior wise besides mentioned earlier has new rear side panels, seat upholstery front and rear floor mats are original rubber. All window rubbers have been changed as has front and rear heated glass gaskets. I can go on and on but it was a labor of love for my father. It could use a new dash pad and if I found one I would change it for you. It could use new running boards but they are functional just not perfect. Had one floor rust panel installed but not a rusty car at all as you can see from the floor pan pic. One small tear and passenger head rest. feel free to ask me anything else about this car. I have pages of receipts and what was completed to make this deserving of the special car it is. |

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, Jul 23 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once – especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015. The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well. For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan – both long rumored to be on their way out – will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment. Meanwhile the Routan, which hasn't actually been built in over a year, is finally dead, as VW confirms it has dropped the Chrysler-built minivan from its lineup for 2015 altogether. The German automaker has also confirmed that the Touareg is getting a facelift early in the new year, which we expect will closely follow the revisions revealed a few months ago ahead of the Beijing Motor Show. Finally VW has announced an upgrade to its 2.0-liter TDI. Fitted to the Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle, the updated diesel gets 10 more horsepower with output now up to 150 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque. Scope out the full list of announcements in the press release below. MODEL YEAR 2015: NEW GOLF FAMILY, REDESIGNED JETTA, AND NEW TDI® CLEAN DIESEL ENGINE HEAD THE CHANGES Jul 22, 2014 In a busy year, Volkswagen will also add a new Golf SportWagen, an all-new Golf R, a redesigned Touareg SUV, and the company's first U.S.-market EV, the e-Golf - All-new Golf is bigger, lighter, and more fuel-efficient than the previous model, seats five, and has a larger trunk than any midsize sedan - New Golf GTI has 210-horsepower engine, with improved fuel efficiency and performance - e-Golf is Volkswagen's first full Battery Electric Vehicle for sale in the U.S.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show
Wed, Nov 26 2014The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.
