Being offered is our 1972 Volkswagen Beetle convertible in original, beautiful condition. It has never been restored, instead, it has always been garaged and lovingly maintained by an adult; when something needed to be replaced, it was replaced. We purchased the car a few years ago from a long-time owner and have put less than 100 miles on it since (we had a baby). The 4 speed transaxle, clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearings have less that 100 miles on them and was professionally done at a reputable European car shop near us in northern New Jersey. The top (insulated with headliner) was recently replaced, the front seats were recovered with original type, black vinyl, supports and cushions. Everything operates properly, all gauges work, the dash lights, even the interior light illuminates when you open the door. You can tell the car has been adult maintained as it was never ordered with a radio when new and remains that way – although in 1972, all VW’s came standard with an antenna should you wish to install one yourself. It had a repaint of its original Yellow color approximately 10 years ago and it still looks fantastic, there are no dents or dings in the paint and it shines beautifully. There is a slight crimp in the passenger’s side running board which may be decades old, please see the photo - it is simple and inexpensive to fix should you choose to. The car runs and drives extremely well and we would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. It still wears the original sized radial tires on its original rims and retains the original oil-bathed air cleaner and stock ‘pea-shooter’ exhaust. Try finding a Beetle that original! It easily passed the difficult emissions test for New Jersey and naturally is eligible for ‘Historic’ plates in any state. The engine was rebuilt approx 19K miles ago and a thick folder of receipts and service records accompanies the vehicle. We wish we drove the car more than we did. It needs nothing that we are aware of, runs and looks correct, smells clean, looks happy and is ready for its new home. Please reach out if you have specific questions or would like a specific photo. Thanks very much and good luck! Cheers~

2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8
Mon, Dec 22 2014If you want to be the first person on your block with Volkswagen's latest Golf R parked in your garage, you need to clear some time from your schedule on January 8. On that day, VW is opening the pre-order books for the first 500 Stateside examples of the new hot hatch, and they come with some neat accessories, too. Don't worry about specing just the right Golf R because all 500 early models are identical. In addition to the obvious 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 292 horsepower 280 pound-feet of torque and 4Motion all-wheel drive, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option here. Every one of these hot hatches comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with 19-inch wheels covered in summer performance tires. Based around the DCC and Nav trim, each of them also has VW's adaptive damper system, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, a Fender audio system, parking sensors and navigation. Beyond just being the first ones to own VW's latest hot hatch in the US, the deal for these 500 folks also includes a Volkswagen R watch, carbon fiber and stainless steel keychain and a certificate. All three items are serialized to match the VIN of the buyer's Golf R. The total price for each one of these 500 Golf R's is $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery. But potential buyers don't have to come up with all of that on January 8. They just need to visit VW's Golf R site and pay a $500 reservation fee to get in line, which goes toward the purchase of the car. The money is refundable for anyone who backs out, and any additional orders are put on a waiting list in case of any cancelations.
VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
