You are bidding on a 1975 Super Beetle project car. I have had this car for about two years and have been restoring it for a nice weekend driver. Unfortunately I am forced to sell the car because I moved my elderly mother from the west coast and now have no time to complete the car.  I have lots of experience with car restoration over the last 40 years so anyone that looks at the car won't be disappointed.


The car is complete with the exception of the engine and the fuel tank. You will also need carpet as I was planning to change colors. The car was completely disassembled and the chassis had the floor pans replaced and a few small areas of rust repaired.  The chassis was sand blasted, primed, and top coated on a rotisserie. All of the brakes were replaced including  brake cylinders, master cylinder, brake pressure switches, drums on the back, and all new metal brake lines. The rear shocks were replaced and the front struts were replaced with Topline adjustable struts and a disc brake conversion. The front end is all new with an oversized sway bar, new tie rod ends, new ball joints, and a new rack and pinion boot. The transmission was sandblasted and repainted and the shifter bushings were replaced. The entire chassis is complete and spotless.

The body had a few rust areas removed and new panels installed. Both heater channels have been repaired or replaced. The engine compartment structural pieces were replaced. All rust has been removed. The outside paint was finished from the previous owner and is in very good condition. I did repaint the door jams, engine bay, and trunk area. The inside of the fenders were prepared and painted and the fender beading was replaced. The front turn signals are new along with the rear flush mount lights. The hood, doors, and trunk lid are not installed but are in similar condition as the rest of the car. 

The interior was redone by the original owner and is gray and complete with the exception of carpet. The dash is in very good condition with one small crack about 1.5 inches long, that has been repaired. The sun roof has a new seal and works. The doors seem to fit well in the body openings. The car is ready to wire and has the front lights, horn and brake pressure switch wired. The rear lights are also wired. The inside will need to be completed. I do have a nice modern fuse panel ready for installation. 

All parts used for the restoration were top quality and most from Germany or from NAPA. The car is located in Dover Delaware and can be towed or trailered. If you have any questions please let me know. 

Payment of $125 immediately after winning the bid is required. This is because Ebay will change my account on a successful bid ( even without the car actually being sold). If you win the bid, pay the $125( non refundable) and don't like the car when you come to pick it up, I will relist and will not leave any bad feedback. I am confident that anyone that understands classic beetles will appreciate the amount of work/money put into this car.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.  Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.  If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.  Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.  Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:  Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
