This is a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Karmann in good shape. Recent work done to this vehicle include: rebuilt carburetor, new coil, new spark plug wires, new spark plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, and new seat upholstery. This car runs down the road very well and will keep up with traffic on the highway. There are minor nicks, scratches and dents in the car as can be seen in the pictures, but all are minor and will need little. I would suggest the convertible top be replaced as well as a respray to get it into show condition. You can just drive it like it is and constantly answer questions from people like "What year is that?", and listen to the "when I had one of those" stories. I enjoy driving it, but have another project to get to and would like to see this car go to a loving, caring home. The key for the door is the same for the ignition, there are seatbelts in the front as well as the rear and the radio works! There is one small tear in the upholstery that happened upon install on the back of the bottom seat cover for the passenger side seat. I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere. Being 41 years old, I must sell this car in as is condition with no warranty written or implied. A $500.00 deposit will be made within 48 hours of vehicle sale and vehicle will be picked up within 10 days of sale. All funds will need to be deposited and confirmed before vehicle can be released. If you are local, you can pick it up and drive it home, or if you need it to be shipped, I can work with your shipping company. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift
Fri, Feb 20 2015The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
