1972 Superbeetle, great restored running condition. Needs very little work for a complete restoration. If your are serious, please read on.... All rust on body, pan, wheel wells was professionally repaired by very reputable local VW shop including replacement of battery tray and front lower frame head. Very presentable older (5+ years) exterior paint (original red paint in interior and trunk), a few nicks and dings typical of a 40+ year old car that can be driven anywhere, but a real head turner standing 5-feet back or driving down the road. Strong 1600 Dual Port engine has no end play on main shaft. Good clutch and transaxle, car shifts very smooth in all gears. Transmission side and main seals replaced. Good CVC joints. New Solex carb, new correct distributor,new fuel pump, new exhaust system, new hoses and lines and engine wiring. Rebuilt starter, recent battery. Solid working heater boxes and channels, heat works perfect. All correct engine tin is in place with new engine bay seal and the thermostat and flappers work perfect, this car runs cool even after 100 miles on a hot summer day. All air ducts replaced, vents, cables and levers fully functional, even the defrosters work. Two-speed fan fresh air motor rebuilt and works as it should, wiper motor rebuilt and works, washer converted to electric pump. All NEW BRAKES just done including brand new drums all around, lines where needed and new front wheel bearings. Master and wheel cylinders all checked and in good non-leaking working order. New parking brake cables installed, handle rebuilt. New urethane front bushings and steering damper. New rear shocks, good non-leaking front struts. Tires on car have less than 3000 miles, comes with two extra new, unused tires, one mounted on extra rim and a brand new mounted spare tire in trunk, three extra tires in all. Gas tank fully cleaned and all lines and seals replaced, new sending unit installed, gas gauge works perfect. Car has NO gas smell inside or in garage, white plastic evaporator tank is intact and re-vented below car (sorry, the charcoal canister is long gone!) New TMI seat re-upholstery kit, front and rear. New 3-point shoulder belts and new rear lap belts. Nice original carpet and new mat set. Replaced interior door and rear side panels. Custom orange shift ball. New Dual stereo radio with SD, USB and Aux inputs, mp3 player/Pandora radio from your phone ready! Four new speakers with new kick panel baffles in front. New antenna too. Car comes with original working rebuilt Sapphire AM-FM radio and a new 5" in dash speaker if new owner desires to switch it back to original. Original working VDO optional clock! All lights on dash pod work as they should. New glove box liner. All wiring has been gone over and every thing works including back-up lights and dome light. New tail and parking light lenses and a new beep beep horn! Underdash Aux charging jack also added. Body has many new gaskets and all new fender bead installed. Car is fully undercoated. Good original door seals. All locks work, 3 sets of keys included. New trunk latch and cable plus custom emergency override cable installed in wheel well. Good trunk liner and nice custom carpet. Fresh chrome bumpers with NOS bumper guard strips, new dual mirrors and chrome hood trim, nice original side moldings. Nice new rear mudflaps and rare dealer aux rear reflectors! Car also comes with shop manuals and some spare parts, trim rings, see photo. Now for what I prefer to call projects for the next owner, not negatives. The engine does have some typical VW oil leaks, mostly from the push rod tube seals from what I can tell. There is also some white smoke at start up after sitting awhile indicating some valve stem seepage. Again, I leave it to the next owner to have a shop or him/her to do it yourself to overhaul the engine at some point with a new gasket and seal set. (if you know these cars, then you know it will probably leak again within months of rebuilding it, just the way they are!) The only other thing it may need is the original headliner has a few tears, stains and patches and the dash has a few caulked up cracks, part of the patina of a vintage car. These items are replaceable but up to the new owner to decide if they want to go that far. Present odometer reads 80,XXX, not sure if this is original, could be based on body condition, but may have turned over once, I do not feel this is an issue with so much repaired or replaced. Overall the car has had a lot of TLC, time and money invested over the past 4 years, as much or more than the asking price. Buyer to arrange all transportation of the vehicle. Willing to deliver within reasonable distance and then remove my plates. (Call first to discuss) $500 Paypal deposit required at end of sale. Balance by cash or certified bank check at delivery. This is a great running 99% RUST FREE East Coast Superbeetle ready for years of driving enjoyment with all the major work already done. You will find very few cars with as much done to them and everything working on them as this one at this price. This is a vintage car being sold as-is with no warranty of any kind but has been fully described herein. The car is located in Central New Jersey, about 20 miles from New York City. Test drives and inspections are welcome. Feel free to send any questions or call 908-447-1621 and ask for Jeff.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
VW reaches out to diesel consumers with new website
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen is starting to get details out to the public about its diesel emissions evasions in the US, and the automaker now has a dedicated website for consumers. The first thing that visitors see is an apology video from Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn. The site also details all of the VW TDI's currently known to be affected here, including the 2009-2015 Jetta, 2009-2014 Jetta SportWagen, 2010-2015 Golf, 2015 Golf SportWagen, 2012-2015 Beetle and Beetle convertible, and 2012-2015 Passat. Although, the Audi A3 should be on there, too. The company repeatedly reassures owners that these vehicles are safe to drive and promises it's developing a fix as quickly as possible to make them emissions compliant. On the site's FAQ, VW also clarifies that there's still a stop-sale on all of these models with the 2.0-liter TDI, including certified pre-owned ones. That could change soon because the automaker believes that the 2016 model year examples are legal, but the Environmental Protection Agency needs to sign off before they could go to dealers. Until the diesels can be sold, there also won't be any TDI advertising by VW. "We are working at full speed on a technical solution that we will present to partners, to our customers and to the public as swiftly as possible," Herbert Diess, CEO of Volkswagen passenger car division, says in a statement. He also offers an improved accounting of the number of vehicles affected. VW had previously said that there were 11 million with the emissions evading software worldwide. According to Diess, around five million of these came from the VW brand. Audi has said there about 2.1 million of its models affected globally with between 13,000 and 14,000 in America. DR. HERBERT DIESS, CEO OF THE VOLKSWAGEN PASSENGER CARS BRAND, EXPLAINS: "WE ARE WORKING AT FULL SPEED ON A SOLUTION." Wolfsburg, September 25, 2015 – In the press release dated September 22, 2015, the Volkswagen Group announced that Volkswagen Group vehicles worldwide are affected by the current issues regarding emissions. The internal evaluation revealed that approximately five million Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand vehicles are affected worldwide. Certain models and model years of these vehicles (such as the sixth generation Volkswagen Golf, the seventh generation Volkswagen Passat and the first generation Volkswagen Tiguan) are equipped exclusively with type EA 189 diesel engines.
