1978 Vw Beetle Convertible Champaign Ii Edition With Only 24,863 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Harleysville, Pennsylvania, United States
Fuzzy Dice Autos
Has up for auction a very rare gorgeous, very low mileage
1978 VW Convertible. This is a special limited Champaign II Edition in a super
rare Peach Metallic Red color. The car is in excellent condition inside and
out. She has only has 24,863 documented miles on the odometer. This is
confirmed by the previous owner, the Pa title and other service receipts. The
owner purchased the car in 1979 when the odometer read 9,000.00 miles. She
drove the car during the summers and stored it in a climate controlled garage
in during the winters. They now had to sell the car because of a move to a
retirement development with no garage.
The body and under carriage are flawless. The only blemish
is appears on the front bumper where a small portion of the chrome is coming
off. The original paint still shines like new. I still have the “Poly Gly Coat”
warranty issued May 9, 1978. The white convertible top is original to the car
and is in excellent condition. The original white interior is equally as
beautiful. No rips, marks or defects of any kind. The only thing not original
is the after market radio equipped with CD changer. Even the clock works! This
special edition comes equipped with the wood grain dash and a fan for the
heater/fresh air system.
The original engine and drive train is like new. The car
drives strong and quiet. No issues what so ever. The car drives like it did in
1978.
This is one of the very nicest early Beetle convertibles
you will ever see. Plus it’s one of only 1200 made in 1978. This beauty is only
going to rise in value, so if this car interests you, then don’t hesitate to
place your bids.
We ask you first-time Ebay members to contact us before
placing your bid. Best of luck bidding! |

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV
Tue, Oct 7 2014Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag. You can see the new ad and a number of related behind-the-scenes videos (in English) below. Our Quick Spin of the E-up! are available here. This content is hosted by a third party.

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
