You are bidding on a 1974 standard beetle.

This is VW bug that was manufactured 11/73.

The speedometer reads 27125.

The bug, runs drives and stops.

It has a clear title.

And also has a new battery and tires.

The bug was used as a college commuter up until very recently.

Overall it a decent little running, driving, and stopping vehicle. It does need some attention but I think most are pretty easy fixes. Here's what I would think it needs to make it a daily driver. The drivers door outside handle latch has fallen off. I don't know if you need just the little latch or a new handle. (currently you have to reach through the vent window or open from the passenger side) The turn signal lever just kinda flops around in the column and I suspect the handle needs replaced. The bug could use some fine tuning and may need motor mounts as the motor seems to rock back and forth at times more than I think it should.

Body- The bug was originally orange and then received a quicky green paint job. The bug does have a few dent's and dings but is relatively straight overall. The bug has very little rust. It has a couple holes under the battery, the passenger vent behind above the rear 1/4 has a little bubbling rust out (see pics), and the rear floor pans where feet go have some small holes other wises it's very solid.

Engine- Starts right up every time. It smokes just a little if it hasn't been started in a while but smooths out and runs pretty strong (see video)

Drivetrain - the transmission seems to shift just fine. No weird noise or anything.

Brakes- The brakes work good it stops when you tell it to and the E-brake engages and disengages as it should.

Electrical- Head, tail, marker, emergency lights work fine. The wipers also work, however the turn signal lever on the wheel is broken (needs fixed), horn doesn't work, and radio doesn't power up(could be a loose wire just haven't even tried to figure it out)

Interior- The interior is still functional but well used. The seats, headliner, door panels of course have some wear and tears. The hood release in the glove box does not function and it is missing a sun visor on the passenger side and missing the sun visor retaining clips on both sides.

Overall its a decent little running, driving, stopping bug that could use a little TLC. It is in no way perfect, but a good start to a great classic bug. This little bug isn't all butchered up. With a little work it could be a good daily driver, maybe you wan't to turn it into a buggy, or can give it the love it needs to take it all the way back to factory original!

Don't miss your chance to own this wonderful classic. These little bugs are getting harder and harder to find and just going up in value! Please ask any questions or request any specific photo before bidding.

The bug is located in Boise, Idaho. I would be happy to show it in person just ask. The bug needs to be fully payed for within 7 day of auction end and needs to be picked up within 30 unless other arrangements are specifically made with me. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements.

Again this is your chance own a fun little car classic car! Happy Bidding!

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
