1969 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible on 2040-cars
Coppell, Texas, United States
1969 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, In 2007 my son suggested a father-son project and we purchased this Beetle. She had been sitting for 12 years or more so we had to rebuild her from the ground up. Every day for 2 years, my son drove her to and from high school, yes a daily drive. And he says it was the best conversation starter ever. In November 2013, we stripped the body down to the bare metal and then Autoplex of Lewisville, TX gave her a beautiful new paint job in the original VW Diamond Blue color. Note, this color has stood the test of time and is even available 40 years later. She has new convertible top w/ tonto cover, refreshed dual port engine in 2011 (holds a whopping 2 quarts of oil), Pertronix distributer with electronic ignition, new support rails, electric fuel pump, new fuel tank, new brakes (master & all slaves replaced, yes original drum brakes all around), new front end ball joints, new interior upholstery and carpet, new rubber seals, new tires. She is a daily driver. Note this is not a super beetle, this is a classic beetle. She has over over $20,000 in parts plus countless hours of labor. Car is sold AS-IS, no warranty. Everyone has a beetle story; this car gets the conversation started. See you at Cars and Coffee.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
