1978 Vw Convertible Bug,super Beetle, Karmann on 2040-cars
Arlington, Washington, United States
|
1978 VW convertible fuel injected. Local one owner Washington state car. This car is on consignment at my dealership from the original owner. Title is free and clear Washington state. she has had this car from day one buying it off the showroom floor from a local vw dealer and is in good shape and mechanically well maintained over the year, making this 78 a turn key driver with minimum repairs needed. Body and paint are in good shape with virtually no visible rust on exterior of body. Paint is in above average shape for not being brand new, still having good shine Undercarriage does have a few rusted spots, as seen in my video’s but nothing that wouldn’t be expected for a Washington state car, that has been a driver for nearly 34 years. owner say’s she had it painted a number of years ago, late 90’s. top is in great shape for being many years old, functioning properly and still looking great inside and out. Interior is original and in good acceptable shape. lights are all in proper working order, radio, fuel gauge, speedo are still functional at this time. trunk area is clean and unmolested. Tires are in good shape along with brakes, brakes approx. 40%, but do still function properly as seen in my videos. would probably need replacing in the near future or we could do front and rear if negotiated in sell. engine has been well maintained and iis the 1st year of factory fuel injected. i light oil leaks that appear to be normal condition and nothing detrimental, expected condition, for a car being a daily driver for her. she is selling for only one reason, that being the clutch and stick shift purposes. Hard for her to shift through gears now. This is not a perfect car or was it just restored. but has been very well maintained and cared for as it appears in my photos and videos. I have taken lots of additional photos and videos of car starting and driving, also undercarriage. I hope this will help you in making a clear buying decision. Thanks for your time.

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Volkswagen could build plug-in hybrids in China
Sun, Apr 6 2014When you're Europe's largest automaker and your largest global market happens to be the one most notorious for its pollution (China), some solutions just present themselves. Volkswagen may be heeding that call. During the upcoming Beijing Motor Show, the company is expected to announce plans to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China, Reuters says, citing sources within the company. Few details have emerged, though the plug-ins will likely be produced at VW's Foshan factory in South China, which currently makes the Golf and Audi A3 and has plans to eventually make 600,000 vehicles annually. News has been percolating for a while, as Oliver Schmidt, general manager engineering and environmental office for Volkswagen Group of America, said last March that the company was planning at least two plug-in hybrid lines under the VW badge (and another three with its Audi and Porsche affiliates), including possibly a Touareg and Jetta PHEV. VW said late last month that it was looking to speed up development of "particularly eco-friendly models" made by Shanghai Volkswagen as well as developing a "new, very eco-friendly vehicle" with First Automotive Works (FAW). Earlier this year, VW unveiled its Golf GTE plug-in hybrid at the Geneva Motor Show. That model has a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to provide 201 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The car can travel as many as 81 miles on electric power alone.
