1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Autostick Hello in eBay
land.. I don’t know why I love this
little car so much.. maybe writing an ad will help me to figure it out. I have always
had a bug in my life. From the time I
was 16.. My first car was a ’74.. Anyway, I have owned them and driven them and
used them for 30 years now. Last year I
bought a federalized Mexican bug made in 2003 with almost no miles! I was disappointed to be honest. Cheap and poorly made. Then I
happened across this car. It’s a 1972
Super Beetle with an Autostick transmission.
I had driven one in the past but was close minded to the transmission. When I was younger, I thought it was
goofy. I also thought only of
performance. Economy and sensibility was
not in my diction. Today, I have a
different attitude. I like the odd, the
overlooked.. The over engineered. That is exactly what this little beetle
is. Overdone, overlooked, over-engineered
and today.. Really cool because of it. This car
helped to change my mind about the quality of real German quality and
craftsmanship. The car is just simply
well made. This car specifically, drives
like a dream. It is tight, and dependable. It is actually fun and easy to drive. I use mainly 2 gears, but there is a low too
it you need it. So 3 forward gears plus
reverse. No clutch pedal. Just gas and brakes. If you set your hand on the shifter the car
goes into a neutral setting and once you remove your hand it’s back in gear.. It is really
a pleasure to drive.. Super easy and fun. The motor runs awesome, everything works too. The seats
were redone and are actually really cool and Recaro like. They were surely very expensive and the
material is high grade. They are a bit
sporty for the car, but they sure are nice.
The paint is
fair.. Not great, but not horrid
either. Lots of it is still original
with touch ups over the years. It’s
pretty expensive to paint a car correctly these days, so I’m not sure it’s
needed. I would just enjoy the car as it
is and enjoy the quirk of it. Maaco is
always an option, but I have never been impressed with the quality. So, to sum
this up.. This is a nice RUST FREE
excellent running little bug that has the rare Autostick transmission. It is ready to use. It needs nothing mechanically to be
enjoyed. Cosmetically, it’s nice but not
a show piece. I am setting
the reserve very low and I know the Beetle will sell the first go around as
long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any
and all questions before bidding. #3. Please
contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is
an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to
describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees except a
clean and clear legal title after payment. #5. I will
not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the VW. Pay-Pal is for the deposit only, the balance
must be paid by certified check or wire.
Legitimate and legal buyers only please.
Just be real
and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or
her purchase. I have 100% positive
feedback and I plan on keeping that.
Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last
second and worry about missing out. Just
call me and we will work out a fair price.. |

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
