1973 Vw Beetle Convertible Pink on 2040-cars
Evergreen Park, Illinois, United States
|
This listing is for a PINK 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible.
The previous owner (I am the third owner) painted it pink (Sherwin Williams Lipstick Pink) to use for a fundraiser, allowing signatures on the body of the car in black marker. These marks can easily be removed or buffed out. The engine does not run, and it needs a new engine. All other mechanics are running fine. (Currently the Beetle is located at a VW specialty mechanic's shop in Evergreen Park, Illinois and this mechanic has capability to locate and install a new engine, at the buyer's responsibility) The interior is in remarkably good shape for the vehicle's age, the only flaw is the glove compartment door is missing. The body of the vehicle looks great, I have examined the car and found no flaws or rust. I cannot ship or move this vehicle, the buyer will have to tow or ship. Unless other arrangements are made with the VW mechanic shop owner. Upon a successful auction, I would like a deposit via PayPal ($500) with the remaining balance paid via Cash, Cashier's Check at the time of pick up. I have a clear title which I will provide along with a bill of sale at time of pick-up as well. If you are local to Chicagoland and would like to see the vehicle BEFORE bidding, please e-mail me though eBay and I would be happy to set up a time during the mechanic's business hours. Any questions, PLEASE feel free to contact me. I am selling this car simply because I don't have a place to store it and cannot currently afford to replace the engine. It is a lovely Beetle, in remarkable condition and I am very sad to see it go. |

VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
