'73 Volkswagen Super Beetle. This is an "A" title car with 35,118 ORIGINAL miles. This car was fully restored from the ground up about 10 years ago and rarely driven. It was driven to a few shows.. This car gets attention everywhere it goes. Super clean and incredible attention to detail! Lots of polished stainless and billit aluminum throughout. Custom paint and pinstriping. Pinstriping was done by the legendary pin stripe artist Mike Caputo. Beautifully done. Paint work was professionally done to show quality and is awesome. Body is super straight. All body side trim, head light rings, etc. were replaced with high quality replacements after repaint. All of the glass is in great shape. Floor pans, heater channels, frame head, strut towers, etc. are original to car and in excellent shape and underside of car was painted during restoration. Creative Car Craft fiberglass widened fenders and widened stock style bumpers with built in turn signals. Car has 68-72 style tail lights. Engine is a fully rebuilt-stock 1600cc dual port that runs excellent. Starts with ease and runs smooth. Engine was kept stock for reliability and is great on gas. You can drive this car anywhere. Car still has heater boxes and heat blows well. Monza exhaust. Front end was gone through; as was the entire brake system. Car drives straight and smooth and stops well. The clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing were replaced at time of engine rebuild. The 4 speed transmission shifts with ease with a Hurst style shifter. Custom interior finished in tweed, new carpet, sculpted door panels and headliner. New steering wheel and dash pad. Billit Specialties wheels with Michelin tires all of the way around. Rear tires are wide to fill in the fenders. Tires have great tread although the fronts are starting to get dry. Car has a very nice stance and a hot rod look to it. Never fails to draw attention. Pop out 1/4 windows! All fender beading and weatherstripping was replaced. Fender beading was custom made and is a unique color to match paint. Sunroof works great and the mechanism was rebuilt. Less than 500 miles since restoration. Drives excellent. There was loads of attention to detail put into the restoration of this car and lots of time and money invested. I am offering this car at a low reserve. The set reserve price is 3x less than the amount invested into the restoration. If you live close by I encourage you to come see this car in person. If you are hesitant at buying a car long distance, have someone look at the car for you. I am selling the car "as is," no warranty or refund.

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
