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!

Volkswagen bringing new Touran minivan to Geneva

Wed, Feb 25 2015

Volkswagen is bringing a wealth of new metal to the Geneva Motor Show this year. Unfortunately little if any of it is ever likely to reach American shores. There's the new Passat Alltrack, the Golf GTD Variant and a trifecta of new vans: the facelifted Caddy, the revised Sharan and this, the new Touran. Smaller than the Sharan, the Touran is Germany's top-selling minivan and boasts over 1.9 million units sold to date. It was introduced to the VW passenger van lineup in 2003 and was replaced in 2010 with an all-new model. What you're looking at here is the third-generation Touran, based on VW's ubiquitous new MQB architecture. Most obvious is the new sheet metal that makes it look sharper and more in step with the rest of the German automaker's lineup compared to the model it replaces. But there's more to the new Touran than its skin. It's also nearly five inches longer, with most of that length added in the wheelbase to give it a more commodious cabin that's also been updated with the latest equipment and offers room for up to seven passengers. Despite the larger size, it's a good 136 pounds lighter than the outgoing model, so it promises better performance in both its driving dynamics and its environmental credentials. Prospective customers (in markets where the Touran is sold) will be able to choose from a range of three gasoline and three diesel engines ranging from 108 horsepower up to 187, burning as much as 19 percent less fuel than the outgoing model's lineup thanks to features like stop/start engine management and brake force regeneration. There's even a sporty R Line package to give it a little visual aggression. For better or worse, though, the US market will almost certainly be left out: reached for comment, our source at VW USA pointed out that the Touran and Sharan aren't big enough to fill the shoes left by the Routan - but that the upcoming three-row crossover will. Volkswagen presents the new Touran - Germany's best-selling MPV completely redeveloped - More room; smart new design - New engines up to 19 per cent more economical Volkswagen presents the new Touran. The completely redesigned MPV was showcased before an audience of international media representatives at the Autostadt in Wolfsburg, not far from the production site where the popular family car is made. The interior of the new model has undergone a significant increase in size and is highly configurable.

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.
