Up for sale is my 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle in running/driving condition.
I purchased this VW approximately 2 years ago with the idea that I would gift it to my kid brother (who was nearing driving age). I purchased the VW and left it with a 30 year experienced Beetle Mechanic who performed the following upon my request to get it in "reliable running condition": New Alternator, New Voltage Regulator, New EMPI Carburetor, New Bypass Air Cut Off, New Fuel Pump Push Rod and Gaskets, New Valve Cover Gasket, New Oil Screen, New Oil Pan Gasket, New Point Set, Distributor, Condenser, and Rotor, New Fuel Filter, New Copper Core Plugs and New Wires, New Hoses.
This VW runs and drives as it should. The VW was from Kentucky and has faired much better than most in the rust department, but does have some small rust bubbles starting as well as some rust along the bottom of the doors and rusty floor pans and heater channels. It is certainly presentable as it stands or could be a good candidate for full restoration if that's your desire. Interior is in serviceable condition. The drivers floor pan has the most rust and has caused the seat to be able to rock due to the fact the front mounting area is rusted out. Both of the items rusted on this vehicle (floor pans and heater channels) are available from many vendors as a swap out replacement.
Please take a look at all photos and ask any questions you have. I don't have a lot of info about the car due to the fact that I purchased it for my kid brother who eventually decided on a big car with a V8. I do have all receipts for parts purchased and can happily share any info I have from my experience with it and the work performed by the mechanic.
This VW has a clean and clear Indiana Title and is available immediately. I live in Mishawaka and can accommodate most times to see the vehicle.
Mileage listed is odometer reading, due to age of vehicle mileage is unknown.
Please feel free to call, text, or email.

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.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
