The pictures have not been touched or photoshopped, thy are in their original state. Up for sale is a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible by Karmann. It has the twelve volt system and come with the stock 1600 engine. The engine has been rebuilt to factory specs. 1973 is noted for changes in the Bug construction, the first year of the curved windshield. Also noted the same year, the new flow through ventilation system, and of course a new redesigned, more modern and padded dashboard. Also larger turn signals on the fenders for better visiability were installed this year too! The transmission and clutch are working perfectly. The engine starts up every time, brakes are good, electrical works fine, all the lights are good. Has an aftermarket radio and extra speakers. The owner put in a little center console to put knick knacks in. Seats are good and comofortable. It is a nice fun car. It is a good solid origninal car. Ready to jump in and drive, or set up for a full restoration. It does show a little wear in places from age, but easily fixable. Tires are new, drives and handles well. The rear convertible top window has about 50% visability. Nice dash cover with an added tachometer. Chrome wheels are dazzling. In the trunk you will find an original set of those cocomats that were so popular in days gone by. Engine complartment clean and all seals, gaskets and metal covers are all in place. A very complete car. The speedometer reads 39,720 miles, and clear title in hand.

Fun on the Run

The Convertible had two owners. The second owner was obsessed with the car. Had it painted a nice red. The contrasting black convertible top in great condition and noted not even a tear in the headliner. This Bug has been in the garage for the past six years, so there is no rust anywhere. A true California car. The owner decided to buy another bug and now is working on that one and decided that it was time to pass this convertible on to someone who would continue to love and appreciate it and mostly have a lot of fun with it. Nothing like throwing the top down and a nice drive up the California coast, life could not be better. If you are looking for a nice bug convertible that needs no repairs and just ready to tackle the road, this is the car. Don't let this one slip away.

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs

Tue, Oct 6 2015

FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals Â– giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
