This is a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Karmann in good shape. Recent work done to this vehicle include: rebuilt carburetor, new coil, new spark plug wires, new spark plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, and new seat upholstery. This car runs down the road very well and will keep up with traffic on the highway. There are minor nicks, scratches and dents in the car as can be seen in the pictures, but all are minor and will need little. I would suggest the convertible top be replaced as well as a respray to get it into show condition. You can just drive it like it is and constantly answer questions from people like "What year is that?", and listen to the "when I had one of those" stories. I enjoy driving it, but have another project to get to and would like to see this car go to a loving, caring home. The key for the door is the same for the ignition, there are seatbelts in the front as well as the rear and the radio works! There is one small tear in the upholstery that happened upon install on the back of the bottom seat cover for the passenger side seat. I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere. Being 41 years old, I must sell this car in as is condition with no warranty written or implied. A $500.00 deposit will be made within 48 hours of vehicle sale and vehicle will be picked up within 10 days of sale. All funds will need to be deposited and confirmed before vehicle can be released. If you are local, you can pick it up and drive it home, or if you need it to be shipped, I can work with your shipping company. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
