I am selling my 1983 Rabbit. I bought this car from a lady who told me she and her husband bought it and had it totally redone on the inside (true, it has marine grade WHITE vinyl interior which is in exceptional condition). She also told me that they had their mechanic in Georgia put an engine in it, and that it has a 4 speed transmission, not a 5 speed transmission (even though the stick shift has 5 speeds, it really only is a 4 speed). Her husband passed away and she let it sit in her garage until she sold it to me. ,I drove this car for a year on the beach, it was great and I loved it, then one day I was driving down the road and it just died, I pulled over to the side of the road, and it had to be towed from there. It has been sitting ever since. It is such a shame, because it is a cool car that turned heads every where I went. I had several offers to buy it at gas stations, fast food joints, etc., but at the time was unwilling to sell. Now she is dead, and needs a VW enthusiast to take over ownership to restore her to her former glory. This car has NO air, NO power steering, but it has a NEW convertible top and new interior, plus a lot of white sand from the Gulf of Mexico :)

Exterior is in great shape, there is one bumper cover missing, it has an aftermarket gas cap, it has minimal MINIMAL rust a little around the wheels in the rear, but the body is quite solid.

This would be an excellent first car for someone, cause let's face it, it just doesn't go that fast. Maybe you would like to attend some car shows, with the proper attention it could even bring you home a ribbon or two. Or maybe you live at the beach and would like to have your own "beach buggy" the options are limitless. I want someone who will have as much fun with it as I did. It is eligible for antique plates in most states as it is 30+ "An oldie but a goodie"

THIS CAR DOES NOT RUN. It would have to be trailered.

I am offering the little Rabbit with NO warranties expressed nor implied, if you want that you had better go buy a brand new one. Otherwise this 30+ year old VW is sold as-is where is.

I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask. Lana 573-819-0132 I may not know the answer, but will do my best. I would prefer that you inspect the car prior to bidding, but I can send more pictures per request.

The car can be stored here outside for 30 days or so but must be paid for in full with-in 7 days of auction end, if it is not then I will assume you no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it. You will not receive your deposit back. I will require an immediate deposit of $500 via paypal, with the balance in cash/cashier's check at time of pick up.

So with all that said good luck and happy bidding !

Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.

2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.
