Greetings.
This is a very nice example of a 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle. It is the desirable dark green color with beautiful EMPI mag wheels. It has been garage kept. It starts immediately, shifts great, steers straight and stops like new. The 1971 and 1972 were the only model years for the flat windshield. This makes them somewhat unique in the beetle world. 1973 began the curved windshield era. The car is rust free. It had only one dime-sized rust hole, located under the battery; typical for any car over 10 years old. There is light surface rust on the underside of the car. That's it. A 43-year-old rust-free car is unusual and quite desirable. But if you are reading this, you already know that. This car has been garage-kept since I've owned it and has only been rained on twice. (I know what you're thinking... a little odd, but that's just the way I am. I make no excuses.) New interior items include: New headliner New carpeting New front and rear seat covers New visors New steering wheel New JVC AM/FM radio with Bluetooth and flash drive port Subwoofer with Jensen amplifier New EMPI short-throw shifter New trunk liner Tachometer Oil pressure gauge Voltmeter Head temperature gauge Completely insulated in the roof and the complete area under the carpeting New exterior items include: New rubber window trim New windshield wiper motor New outside mirrors and rear-view mirror New windshield wiper washer (pump added to replace original air pressure method) New bumpers New windshield New running boards New wiper blades New Insulation in the engine compartment and undercarriage New McPherson strut stabilizer bar New steering bushings, stabilizer bar bushings, and associated suspension bushings New steering damper New shock absorbers New McPherson struts EMPI 8-spoke mag wheels Engine work includes: New carb New Bosch distributor and electronic ignition New spark plugs, distributor cap and wires New oil cooler New push rod tubes New headers and muffler (tailpipes extend from the correct tailpipe outlets with a pronounced sports car sound) New clutch and pressure plate New motor mounts New oil pump New fuel pump New fume elimination kit New engine compartment insulation panels (the panels that are on the firewall and sides of the engine compartment) New seals around the engine to maintain engine cooling ....and miscellaneous parts too numerous to list Much of the work on this car are important things that you normally not see, such as the suspension work, insulation, engine work, and so on. No doubt I have forgotten to list many more new parts, but you get the point. I have spent almost two years renovating this car. And now it is done. My wife thinks I'm nuts to sell it now that it's finally done. But I think she's beginning to understand that I didn't do the work so that I could drive it. I did it because it's what I love to do. And now it's time to move on to a bigger restoration challenge. My goal in selling this car is to make room in the garage. I did not respray the car during the restoration. I didn't want to have to worry about every parking scratch and dent. The car looks good, but you can see the flaws up close. Overall, it looks good. But it's a daily driver, not a trailer queen. I don't want to own a car that owns me. Mileage on the odometer is 58,000. I have no reason to believe that this is accurate. All receipts will be included with the car. I have documented the restoration process, so if you'd like more pictures, please let me know. |

Volkswagen reveals updated Sharan minivan for Europe
Sun, Feb 22 2015Volkswagen's experiment with rebadging Chrysler minivans as the Routan may not have gone so well for the German automaker in North America, but overseas it offers vans of its own. Even aside from the fullsize Crafter and Transporter vans sold by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, the passenger car division offers its own minivans like the Touran and the Sharan. Now it's revealed an updated version of the latter. The VW Sharan was first introduced back in 1995 and entered its second generation in 2009, built in Portugal alongside the Seat Alhambra and offering seating for seven in its five-door form. The new model looks largely the same as the existing one, but benefits from new taillights and a revised interior. But most of the upgrades are found under the skin. There's an array of turbocharged and direct-injected engines that are now up to 15 percent more efficient than those found in the existing model, with two gasoline engines ranging in output from 148 horsepower to 217, and three diesels producing 113, 148 and 181 hp. Along with the updated powertrain options, the revised Sharan also gets a host of new safety and convenience systems, including automatic post-collision braking, Front Assist with City Emergency Braking, Lane Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Park Assist and Blind Spot Monitor. Inside, the infotainment system has been upgraded as well. The updated Sharan arrives hot on the heels of the new Caddy released earlier this month and just in time for the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Wolfsburg, 18 February 2015 Show premiere of the Sharan in Geneva - Even more technical highlights for the popular Volkswagen MPV - New TSI and TDI engines* are up to 15 per cent more fuel efficient Volkswagen is presenting the technically updated Sharan at the Geneva International Motor Show. Numerous new convenience and assistance systems make the family-friendly MPV one of the most advanced models in its segment. A wide range of infotainment systems also guarantees full connectivity to many smartphones and tablets. At the same time, the fuel economy of the petrol and diesel engines* was improved by up to 15 per cent. The updated Sharan will arrive on the German market this summer; advance sales begin in April. Along with the standard Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, which automatically initiates braking after a collision if the driver is no longer able to intervene, numerous optional assistance systems are available in the updated Sharan as well.
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
