1969 Classic Beetle , Near Perfect Condition ! on 2040-cars
Braselton, Georgia, United States
|
This is an extremely nice Volkswagen Beetle built in 1968 and is a 1969 Model year , it is a desirable color, Savannah Beige , has chrome wheels and Michelin XZX tires , wheels and tires are about 1500 dollars ( see Coker tire) the car has a Nardi wood steering wheel , the Bamboo under dash storage shelf and has a Great AM,FM XM satellite stereo , I bought this car last year from the Bob Stanek collection here in Atlanta , this car was restored by this avid VW collector and was his favorite and he drove it often . He had a phenominal paint job put on it complete bare metal inside and out , all trim and rubber removed ,completely disassembled as it should be done , paint on dash , inside door jams , window frames is exceptional and probably explains why the paint work was over $18,000 alone , it has new interior including headliner , floor mats , visors etc , again perfect . All new rubber trim was installed and motor and gearbox were rebuild to perfection , runs , starts, steers and stops better than any I have seen. Leak down reflects the quality of the drive train . Stanek performed a no expense spared restoration and it is an unbelievable value as restoration cost ( invoices with car ) exceed 40K . I should keep it but I have 5 VW's and 4 356's I bought it spontaneously and have enjoyed it but it needs to be in the hands of someone who can drive it and show it more frequently, it needs nothing but a quick wash to show anywhere , the VW show or any cruise .
I am selling it for exactly what I paid for it , all I have done is paint the floorboards with POR 15 and change the oil . If you like VW's this is a great car ! |

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
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.

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
