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!!

eBay Find of the Day: Unrestored Herbie Love Bug movie car

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Well before Cars ever hit the screens, The Love Bug series of Disney films – starring Herbie the VW Beetle with a mind of its own Â– was an early introduction to cars and racing for many budding auto fans. Not the modern remake starring Lindsay Lohan mind you, but the originals from the '60s and '70s. Now, a seller in Texas claims to be offering a chance to own one of the Bugs from the films on eBay Motors. According to the auction, this Beetle didn't appear in the original film but was built for the sequel Herbie Rides Again in 1972 and also appeared in the third installment Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. This VW was prepared as the blind-drive car for the movies that attached a low-mounted chair in the back and extended controls to let Herbie look like he was driving himself. Although, some of the photos here show the Bug with regular seats fitted, too. This Herbie was reportedly found in a Florida warehouse a few years ago. It was then made operable, while trying to keep it as original as possible. The exterior underwent a slight restoration with input from former Disney special effects staff, according to the seller. The changes added new graphics and rebuilt the blind drive setup. Judging by these pictures, the rest of the interior was left mostly untouched, though. Of course, anyone interested in buying a movie car is going to want proof of its authenticity. The seller claims to have the original California title showing the buyer as Disney in 1972. The Bug also reportedly has a unique rear decklid that mixes early and later parts to help identify it in the film. As of this writing, bidding for Herbie sits at $55,100 with 82 bids and a reserve not yet met. The sale closes on Saturday, December 13.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
