Convertible California Beauty No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Merced, California, United States
|
Up for auction is this beautiful 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. As I'm sure you know, 1979 was the very last year that Volkswagen produced the Beetle Convertible, and this car is one of the very last cars to ever be built as it has a build date of January 1980! That was the very last month of production, ending forever the Beetle Convertible. To me that would make it the most collectable Beetle ever. If you have ever owned or driven a Beetle you know what fun they are to drive! Just running errands is a blast! And a top-down ride this time of the year is pure pleasure. This car has always been a California car, garaged all of its life, the original interior is still in good condition. The top is about five years old; it is in good condition with a couple of small spots that are a little worn through one layer; you can see these in the picture. It goes up and down nicely and seals up great. The original top boot is also included. The body is very straight and the paint still very shiny! I do believe the car has been painted once since it was new. No accidents, the front and rear aprons are as new. All body pieces, the fenders, doors, hood and engine lid are the factory German pieces that the car came with when new. Other than the chrome wheels there are no aftermarket pieces on this car, including the bumpers. Not a 100-point show car, but a very nice car that you will be proud to own. Drive it on the weekend to your favorite car show or really enjoy life and drive it every day! I was told the mileage of 78k is original but I have no documents to prove it, however I believe it to be true since the car is solid and tight like a 78k mile car. A lot of people restore these cars and some do a good job. But here is a car that has never needed restoring! It has always been kept in good condition. Motor runs quiet and strong and was rebuilt about 5000 miles ago. Tires are about 80%. NO RESERVE AUCTION!! means someone will get this great little car. Available for inspection any time during the auction by appointment. Please remember you are bidding to buy, not just come look. All inspections must be completed before the end of the auction. Full payment is due in three days and I don't take PayPal for payment on cars. E-Mail or call me at 831-383-2499 with questions. Clear California title. I'll ship anywhere in the world at buyer's expense. I can help with shipping, I work with a very reliable company and can have it shipped to your door in the U.S. I also ship to Europe out of Oakland Ca. GOOD LUCK and HAPPY BIDDING!!!!

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
