The buggy is titled in the state of Ohio as a 1968 vw roadster and street legal.

I have owned the buggy for 3 years and have slowly been updating the engine. Didn't know much about VW's before buying and have learned more than I wanted too about air-cooled vw's. If you are new to VW's -- be sure to do your homework or you might be buying a project. The first year I owned mine I seemed to always be broken down on the side of the road.

The buggy has a new re-built 1835cc dual-port motor and I only have put 2,000 miles on it so far. The transmission has also been upgraded to a 3-rib IRS (later style) transmission shaft and throw out bearing with new clutch plate. It's a salvage transmission, not rebuilt, and shifts perfectly. Reverse and all gears shift easily with no grinding. The buggy has also been totally re-wired because the original wiring had problems. LED taillights to ensure you are seen in traffic. Buggy has roller gas pedal but can have pedal added.

A new Weber progressive carburetor (32/36) DFEV carburetor with electric choke fuels the motor. The distributor has been upgraded to a 009 pointless distributor with built in pointless pickup. A full flow oil pump with filter has been added. The 12 generator was removed and replaced with a modern alternator. Ceramic dual exhaust system was added. A new speedometer which shows miles since new motor and fuel gauge also works. The volt and oil pressure gauge need wired to work. New front seats have been added. The seats don't recline but can move back and forth for adjustment. The passenger seat cover has a small hole but the color of the seats always can be changed with new seat covers. The seat covers cost around $40.00 each.

The buggy has a bad boy air horn installed and just had a front wheel alignment.

The buggy's motor and performance are excellent. Nice rumble sound and has some power. Top speed is around 80-85 but I can go faster if traveling downhill. People always ask top speed by hearing the engine when I am driving around town. I have to remind them it's a 4 cylinder engine powered by 1960's technology.

Things which still need done on the buggy: It still has drum brakes and could be upgraded to disc brakes on the front to ensure better stopping power. It does need cosmetic work but this is a turn-key buggy ready to drive.

You can call and ask for Mark (216)-799-6555. You can also text me or e-mail with any questions. I tried to explain all parts on the buggy but ask if you have any questions in case I forgot something. I also can include a used tow-bar used to transport vw buggies and single roll bar which I removed because it was a hassle for passengers to enter the back seat.

If out of the state of Ohio: check your laws because some states don't allow buggies to be titled for street use or make it difficult.
do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers

Reverse lights work when shifter is placed into reverse - no switch is needed. The wiper works at one speed but won't help in rain.

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio

Fri, Sep 30 2016

Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.
