This is an immaculate 3rd owner 1974 V.W. Beetle (Bug)

We are selling this vehicle due to the fact we are moving out of state and we have too many vehicles to transport. As you can see by the photos this immaculate 1974 VW Super Beetle has been garage kept, and treated like one of our babies! I have done so much to this vehicle over the past few years that it is virtually impossible to name everything. The ENTIRE body is still all ORIGINAL, absolutely no replacement panels at all, this car is all original steel, not fiberglass replaced panels!! The paint was done back 3 years ago and is in great shape. There has been no attention to detail left out of this restoration, as we intended on keeping this vehicle for our kids one day, however we simply have too many vehicles to transport for our move.

The mileage on the odometer reads 94900, however all of the upgrades, and restoration to the engine were done at 84200 miles. (Truly there is right around 11000 miles on the vehicle since all the upgrades have been done).

The interior is completely stock with the exception of: Oil Pressure gauge, Tack-o-meter, and Voltage Meter, which you can see on the dash photos. It still has the original White Headliner in the vehicle with absolutely no rips, and is in great condition. The seats are all original with no tears or rips. The carpet and insulation has been replaced thru out the entire vehicle as the original carpet was showing signs of wear, and we decided we wanted to have it look like it was showroom quality.

The engine was completely rebuilt back in 2010 by Mid America Motorworks and some of the upgrades to the peppy little VW are as follows: New Big Bore Pistons and Cylinders, Rings, and Lifters. There is a new 110 Cam, Bearings and Even and New Crank. New Rockers covered with New EMPI Valve Covers. New Large Capacity Oil Sump Kit which adds 1.5 extra quarts of oil to increase oil supply, prevent oil starvation and increase cooling by far. New Upper and Lower Degree Pulleys, New 009 Distributor with Electronic Ignition and the Expensive Plug Wires (This in Another Detail that makes a Huge difference that so many people leave out of their restoration). New Bosch Blue Coil, Easy pour Angled Oil Filler, New Dual Manifold with Brand New Very Costly Webber Two Barrel Carburetor. There have been brand new jets installed and fine tuned by Motorworks, to feed the carburetor correctly. There is a New Electronic Fuel Pump (Mounted Under the Gas tank up front) and New Fuel Regulator Set at about 2.5. New Baffle and Hardware. As you can see I have all of the Specialty Cooling Tins installed on the motor that are so important that so many decide not to do. Of course, all New Gaskets, Seals, Bosch Super Plugs, Wires, Bolts and all the Hardware.

The Chassis on the vehicle has had the following upgrades and modifications done to make this beautiful vehicle even safer to drive on a daily basis. The Transmission was removed, Cleaned, Drained, Filled with New Gear Oil and then reinstalled. There are New Axles and all four Brand New Shocks were installed. Every brake component was replaced with New OEM Factory parts from Dual Master Cylinder, Four Brand new Wheel Cylinders, New Reservoir, to all New Brake Pads, and Shoes. Needless to say, it will stop on a dime. The Entire front end was removed, Serviced, Seals Greased, Cleaned, and Re Installed with all New Tie Rods, Tie Rod Ends, and a New Steering Stabilizer. I had Mid America Motorworks do a full Wheel Alignment including Camber ad Caster for that smooth straight ride. I put Brand New Aluminum 8 Spoke Rims, Brand New Starfire, Sport Metric 165R15 tires on this year.

You will be very hard pressed to find a cleaner V.W. online or anywhere else, as meticulous care and effort have went into every step of this restoration.

Should anyone have any additional questions or want to see any additional photos, please email before bidding. I would rather have ALL questions answered prior to anyone making any bids on my baby!!

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
