1973 VW beetle, I have owned and driven this car everyday from 06/11 - 4/13 when the engine had a bearing issue and I removed it. This car really meant a lot to me and I have kept strict maintenance on it until 06/13. I really enjoyed this car while I was a student and traveling nurse assistant, now that I have a new job I just can't take the time to maintain this appropriately. I want to sell it to someone that will take care of it, I am going to be completely honest about it's condition. , please feel free to call me Noah Swift 717-273-1743 or e-mail at lebnoah@gmail.com.
----------------Pro's--------------- Minimal Rust Dash has no sun damage Both drive shafts replaced last year Totally replaced ignition switch and signal wiring in steering column Up to PA inspection standards on 5/13 No braking leaks or issues No issues with gas tank, rubber gas hose replaced recently (gas gauge float does not work sometimes) No stripped bolts on body or on trans-engine mount (transmission rubber boots intact, replaced last year) No electrical issues Shocks appear stock but I have had no issues with them. Four brand new Touring tires with professionally painted rim I put the transmission in myself in 2012, it was used, I bought it from a guy that was piecing a beetle in his shed for 600$. It does not slip, pop, or grind and the trans fluid is clear red with no burnt odor. I have crawled under it every summer and sanded off any rust,then painted with about 4 coats of Rustoleum. Besides under the battery, there is no floorboard rusting. I did this with the fenders as well. Left rear fender has some rust thru (photo) There are 2 stock seatbelts in the front with shoulder sttap, and I have installed 2 stock seatbelts in the rear. New Cards on doors and rear. The seats are used but reconditioned with 2 tears (photos) Headliner has no holes or sag, it is original. -------------Con's---------------- There is NO ENGINE, it does come with a new Sachs Clutch (photo) The steering shakes and should be restored, I am including a lot of the items needed for this (photo). If you are going to take the time to dissmantle the steering system this far I would recommend changing the steering box while you are up there, they cost about $100.00. Window rubber and body rubber between fenders needs replaced., Front and Rear window rubber is like new. Trunk and hood need re-aligned to open and shut correctly, all of the hardware is attached, it just needs reset. Minor dents and minor rust (photos) Speedometer cable is attached but nod placed into wheel.. speedometer does work. Rear Light is cracked and will need replaced. T-Bars (bumper bars) are not tightened down thoroughly, you will have to buy bolts from hardware store. The assembly or opening and closing heater-vent is not there, you will need to buy these assemblies, I was holding open the vent with twist ties all winter then removing them in spring. There is no radio, but it is ready to be connected to one and the speakers in both doors are new and do work. You will need to buy some flashing for e.j. the hood and the panel under the doors. The wipers work, I could never figure out how the wiper spray system works with the spare tire, but the assembly for this connection is there. There is a rubber seal in the engine compartment essential for proper engine use.. you will need to replace this rubber seal. --------------Included!!!!--------------- Brand new Sachs Clutch Set 1 year old Bosch Starter Electronic heater blower Spare Tire Two Rollers, Two tie rod ends, and new set of polyurethane replacement bushings. Two fan belts One condenser One acceleration cable New Battery 4 brand new Touring Tires with professionally painted rims and 4 dogdish hubcaps |

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range
Wed, Oct 8 2014Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
