Custom restored '74 Super Beetle Convertible

JCS 2110 Dual Carb Engine

JCS Freeway Flyer transmission

Over 25K spent, lots of receipts.

I bought this car in July, 2010 from the owner who did the restoration.  I bought it for my wife, and she has not really used it much.  We have put 652 miles on it since we bought it and that is the reason we're selling it.  With a street bike, dirt bikes, a ski boat and busy schedules, we don't really get time to use it.

The following is copied from the ebay listing by the previous owner:

This is a stunning light blue VW Classic Convertible.  I have invested over $25K onm the restoration of this vehicle.  the engine, transmission were purchased from JCS.  The engine is a turn key 2110cc with the new engine and heads upgrade.  Kennedy stage 1 clutch, performance exhaust, dual 40mm carb set, single side cover IRS transmission (388:1 R&P super diff, 11D street)  total cost $5210.85 (I have the receipt)

The car comes with new wheels and tires and is also equipped with all four wheel disc brake conversion.  New paint and nedw custom interior, it also has a new canvas convertible top with headliner.  the suspension system also includes new front struts and rear shocks.  All the rubber has been replaced and the dash assembly is also new.  The radio needs to be installed and hooked up to the speakers, also the speedo is currently inoperative and the true mileage is unknown. (I have repaired the speedo, but it still pulses at low speed)  The vehicle includes just about everything new.

I would add that this thing is quick, and with the higher geared transmission, it will gladly cruise down the highway at 80mph all day.

The previous owner was obviously an enthusiast.

He did spend a lot of money in all the right places and came up with a very appealing car.

Based on what I've seen recently, I would place the real market value of this car around $20K, and that will only go up with time.  These old Beetles, especially convertibles are great investments.

Please check the pictures and video link (you can hear it run) carefully to insure you know exactly what you're buying, and good luck; summer is almost here!

VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.

New investor allows Suzuki to fend off VW

Tue, Aug 4 2015

After years of legal wrangling, the long-soured partnership between Volkswagen and Suzuki looks finally to be coming out of arbitration, according to Bloomberg. As a sign of the Japanese brand's improved fortunes, hedge fund Third Point LLC recently bought an undisclosed stake in the company. The investor reported seeing a major opportunity in the successful Maruti Suzuki business in India. As an investment, the only major problem that Third Point found with Suzuki was its legal battle with VW. "The company's greatest asset is its low-cost manufacturing process for vehicles for the emerging market consumer," the fund said in a letter, according to Bloomberg. Third Point reportedly also wants a seat on Suzuki's board, despite being a minority shareholder. The alliance between Suzuki and VW goes back to late 2009. In the deal, the Japanese brand was meant to get access to cutting-edge tech, and the German firm got a helping hand towards better establishing itself in India and Southeast Asia. Things didn't go as planned, though. Less than two years later, Suzuki's boss publicly derided the deal. Eventually, the allegations started going back and forth, and the two have been working out a way to untangle practically ever since. Among the biggest issue has been how to get back the 19.9 percent stake that VW purchased. According to Bloomberg, the arbitration is now technically over. With the divorce nearly final, the two sides are just waiting on a decision on how to split things up. Suzuki may even just buy VW's stake to get the shares back.
