Greetings.
This is a very nice example of a 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle. It is the desirable dark green color with beautiful EMPI mag wheels. It has been garage kept. It starts immediately, shifts great, steers straight and stops like new. The 1971 and 1972 were the only model years for the flat windshield. This makes them somewhat unique in the beetle world. 1973 began the curved windshield era. The car is rust free. It had only one dime-sized rust hole, located under the battery; typical for any car over 10 years old. There is light surface rust on the underside of the car. That's it. A 43-year-old rust-free car is unusual and quite desirable. But if you are reading this, you already know that. This car has been garage-kept since I've owned it and has only been rained on twice. (I know what you're thinking... a little odd, but that's just the way I am. I make no excuses.) New interior items include: New headliner New carpeting New front and rear seat covers New visors New steering wheel New JVC AM/FM radio with Bluetooth and flash drive port Subwoofer with Jensen amplifier New EMPI short-throw shifter New trunk liner Tachometer Oil pressure gauge Voltmeter Head temperature gauge Completely insulated in the roof and the complete area under the carpeting New exterior items include: New rubber window trim New windshield wiper motor New outside mirrors and rear-view mirror New windshield wiper washer (pump added to replace original air pressure method) New bumpers New windshield New running boards New wiper blades New Insulation in the engine compartment and undercarriage New McPherson strut stabilizer bar New steering bushings, stabilizer bar bushings, and associated suspension bushings New steering damper New shock absorbers New McPherson struts EMPI 8-spoke mag wheels Engine work includes: New carb New Bosch distributor and electronic ignition New spark plugs, distributor cap and wires New oil cooler New push rod tubes New headers and muffler (tailpipes extend from the correct tailpipe outlets with a pronounced sports car sound) New clutch and pressure plate New motor mounts New oil pump New fuel pump New fume elimination kit New engine compartment insulation panels (the panels that are on the firewall and sides of the engine compartment) New seals around the engine to maintain engine cooling ....and miscellaneous parts too numerous to list Much of the work on this car are important things that you normally not see, such as the suspension work, insulation, engine work, and so on. No doubt I have forgotten to list many more new parts, but you get the point. I have spent almost two years renovating this car. And now it is done. My wife thinks I'm nuts to sell it now that it's finally done. But I think she's beginning to understand that I didn't do the work so that I could drive it. I did it because it's what I love to do. And now it's time to move on to a bigger restoration challenge. My goal in selling this car is to make room in the garage. I did not respray the car during the restoration. I didn't want to have to worry about every parking scratch and dent. The car looks good, but you can see the flaws up close. Overall, it looks good. But it's a daily driver, not a trailer queen. I don't want to own a car that owns me. Mileage on the odometer is 58,000. I have no reason to believe that this is accurate. All receipts will be included with the car. I have documented the restoration process, so if you'd like more pictures, please let me know. |

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market
Wed, Oct 30 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
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 may make Bentley a subsidiary of Audi
Sun, Oct 25 2020FRANKFURT — Volkswagen plans to make British luxury carmaker Bentley a subsidiary of its Audi division as it seeks economies of scale among its top-end brands, German trade publication Automobilwoche reported. Bentley, for now overseen by the head of VW's Porsche business, Oliver Blume, will from next year be part of Audi, where VW group Chief Executive Herbert Diess believes it has more potential, Automobilwoche cited company sources as saying. Synergies could include using Audi technology for a new Bentley SUV, it added. Volkswagen, which declined to comment on the report, is reviewing the future of its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati motorcycles as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters this month that Volkswagen was working on plans to prepare Lamborghini for a stock market listing. Related Video: Audi Bentley Volkswagen
