1973 Vw Beetle Convertible Pink on 2040-cars
Evergreen Park, Illinois, United States
|
This listing is for a PINK 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible.
The previous owner (I am the third owner) painted it pink (Sherwin Williams Lipstick Pink) to use for a fundraiser, allowing signatures on the body of the car in black marker. These marks can easily be removed or buffed out. The engine does not run, and it needs a new engine. All other mechanics are running fine. (Currently the Beetle is located at a VW specialty mechanic's shop in Evergreen Park, Illinois and this mechanic has capability to locate and install a new engine, at the buyer's responsibility) The interior is in remarkably good shape for the vehicle's age, the only flaw is the glove compartment door is missing. The body of the vehicle looks great, I have examined the car and found no flaws or rust. I cannot ship or move this vehicle, the buyer will have to tow or ship. Unless other arrangements are made with the VW mechanic shop owner. Upon a successful auction, I would like a deposit via PayPal ($500) with the remaining balance paid via Cash, Cashier's Check at the time of pick up. I have a clear title which I will provide along with a bill of sale at time of pick-up as well. If you are local to Chicagoland and would like to see the vehicle BEFORE bidding, please e-mail me though eBay and I would be happy to set up a time during the mechanic's business hours. Any questions, PLEASE feel free to contact me. I am selling this car simply because I don't have a place to store it and cannot currently afford to replace the engine. It is a lovely Beetle, in remarkable condition and I am very sad to see it go. |

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
