1973 Vw Super Beetle Woody-ford Front Beach Bopper Conversion, Z Thing "project" on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
This is a scratch & dent, semi-rat rod, beach buggy sale. This is a fun project that, when tweeked, will beach friendly everyone that sees it. Previous owner installed a new gas tank, tires, chrome rims, battery, & both steering idler arms. He was not going to install the a back seat (he used it more for trade show wood samples demos of wood buildings he builds). A good back seat comes with it including new matching vinyl seat covers that are shown only placed on seats for demo. They will need to be stretched completely before install if new owner chooses to do so. The brakes do work with no leaks, but have not been bled (still has air in lines; good enough for transport loading-not driving home). The front doors close snug/tight & their windows wind up easy. Comes with three standard VW rims, 2 boxes of parts. Clutch & transaxle are very good. The engine starts & runs good (starts by turning the key with a push button between the front seats). The motor has not been run much in the last two years. It has some new valve push rod tubes. Items that need attention: finish brake bleed process, some lights are not working, generator light is on, windows need install (glass not furnished) for the back four sides & tailgate back frame (a creative person may find other artistic/surfer venues to fill in). I thought of faux wood look water proof mini-blinds w/wood pull close back slats to hold closed. Water proof is only needed if you have to be out on rainy days. Or plexiglass? Beach towels with picture themes stapled to both insides & back, work for me. Some back shelf interior trimming will finish it off( was going to staple moving pad blankets over the shelf wood). Some decorative finishing wood trim would be each artisen's choice. The Vehicle ID number on the title matches the windshield factory plate. It is a Florida title. This can be a great prop for business (bar, beach shop, wood furniture biz). Dune buggys cost more than this.

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
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.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
