I have for sale my 1973 Super Beetle. I picked up this car 1 1/2 years ago as payment for work on 2 other cars and planned on making it road worthy. However plans have changed, new house & another child, and I offer this up for sale.
This car was amateur restored quite some time ago and driven semi-regularly until 2011 when the brake lights quit working, and then was parked outside uncovered until I got it. By then the drivers floor pan, heater channel, and pedals had rusted. Drivers floor pan, drivers heater channel, spot behind floor pan, & very small spot on passenger floor pan by the toe area. Area under the battery is NOT rusted through. Drivers door is rusting at what I assume is a patch line, so is the drivers side behind the door. The engine is a "owner called it new" but appears to be a remanufactured engine -supposedly with less than 5K on it. I had the engine running before I stripped out the interior by using a jumper pack and pouring gas down the carb, ran excellent while the fuel lasted. Fuel tank appears to have been replaced, or absolutely outstanding original condition. But smells of old gas. Interior has had the carpeting removed (and gone) rubber floor mats are in trunk. Seats are in very good condition, door panels are a thin plywood, headliners sags as usual. Wheels are what appear to be Empi's and with some TLC (paint &polish) would be nice again. Right front brake was stuck when I got it & in the process of breaking it loose, chipped the drum. So RF brake: shoes missing drum bad. Tires probably only have the 5k miles since restoration, but are badly weather checked. All glass is good, as are all the fenders. Easy, LOL, restoration or an awesome parts car. Mileage on odometer reads 20680, actual is unknown. IL title because of age is exempt, spot for mileage is blank. Car is located 5 miles West of Kankakee, IL which is right by I-57, 30 miles from I-55, & 40 from I-80 so easy access. The car will need to be trailered from my location, IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE. I am able to store it for two weeks to give you time to arrange picking it up, if fully paid for. Preferably I would like it gone ASAP. Any questions are more than welcome, you are also encouraged to come and inspect it (email me). Please ask all questions before bidding, your bid is a binding contract to buy.
All nonpaying winners will be reported to eBay and blocked from any of my future auctions.
I do combine shipping with other items (if I have multiple auctions).
Please check my feedback, I have 100% positive and strive to keep it that way.
PLEASE look at all pictures and ask any questions you may have before bidding. |

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
Volkswagen taps Porsche chief for board
Mon, Feb 23 2015Matthias Mueller was promoted to the top position at Porsche in 2010 after a successful stint of developing model lines during his 36 years with the company, mainly at Audi. Having shown the same prowess while overseeing Porsche for the past five years, German outlet Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports that Mueller will be promoted to the management board of the Volkswagen Group, according to a leaked copy of an agenda for the meeting. It's said that a new spot is being created for him, one that will put him in charge of "overseeing cooperation" among Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Porsche. While other group executives are known to hold positions on the board and with brands, or across brands, it isn't clear yet whether Mueller will keep his spot at the CEO of Porsche after the promotion. One thing that is certain is the 61-year-old Mueller doesn't see himself in line for Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn's job in 2016, having told FAZ this month, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen."

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
