Heres a 1972 Volkswagen bug, red with black interior. Drivetrain: Engine fires right up and runs great, no smoke, and transmission shifts well. The car was registered and on the road until just recently, and I still drive it up and down the street occaisonally to keep the fluids fresh.I have the original owners manual, radio manual, and dealer network book. Brakes work but require a bit of extra pressure so it may need an adjusment or shoes replaced maybe. The E-brake works as well. The lights, instruments, factory radio, wipers, etc. are in working order. The heater is disconnected. The car has newer tires(correct ones for a classic vw), perfect hubcaps, and the rims were repainted recently. The car was originally yellow but now is red. You can see around some of the lights and body gaskets where the yellow is showing, however the underside of hood, trunk lid,and jams were painted red to match. The interior is clean with a good dash, headliner and back seat, drivers seat has tears in base and the passenger seat has a small hole in the upper corner.The rubber seals around windows etc look original and are dry. Overall the car looks decent going down the road and gets alot of attention, but has some imperfections in the paint, and some bubbles in areas like around the fender. The floors and heater channels had work done at some point and are solid. As you can see from the photo, the inside of trunk and spare tire well are super clean and solid, however the area that needs attention is just below this in the front of the car. The lower part of the "frame head" as it is called has significant rust and should be repaired or replaced. It affects the inner wheel wells and there's some thinness in some of the rocker areas. The car feels solid from behind the wheel, steers fine, and the doors close tight, and although it was being driven like this, I urge the buyer to go through the front end and make the necessary repairs. They are aftermarket frame head replacements available for less than $100. Because of this issue the reserve is very low. There are too many nice things about this car to part it out or anything like that, so I hope the new owner will keep it going. The car is sold as is with no warranty, and the buyer is responsible for pick-up. Connecticut does not have titles on antique cars but I do have the last registration and an official CT Q-1 bill of sale for transferring legal ownership in this state. Contact me with any questions by email or call (eight-six-zero)-377-0700. Thanks for looking!

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
