This is an immaculate 3rd owner 1974 V.W. Beetle (Bug)

We are selling this vehicle due to the fact we are moving out of state and we have too many vehicles to transport. As you can see by the photos this immaculate 1974 VW Super Beetle has been garage kept, and treated like one of our babies! I have done so much to this vehicle over the past few years that it is virtually impossible to name everything. The ENTIRE body is still all ORIGINAL, absolutely no replacement panels at all, this car is all original steel, not fiberglass replaced panels!! The paint was done back 3 years ago and is in great shape. There has been no attention to detail left out of this restoration, as we intended on keeping this vehicle for our kids one day, however we simply have too many vehicles to transport for our move.

The mileage on the odometer reads 94900, however all of the upgrades, and restoration to the engine were done at 84200 miles. (Truly there is right around 11000 miles on the vehicle since all the upgrades have been done).

The interior is completely stock with the exception of: Oil Pressure gauge, Tack-o-meter, and Voltage Meter, which you can see on the dash photos. It still has the original White Headliner in the vehicle with absolutely no rips, and is in great condition. The seats are all original with no tears or rips. The carpet and insulation has been replaced thru out the entire vehicle as the original carpet was showing signs of wear, and we decided we wanted to have it look like it was showroom quality.

The engine was completely rebuilt back in 2010 by Mid America Motorworks and some of the upgrades to the peppy little VW are as follows: New Big Bore Pistons and Cylinders, Rings, and Lifters. There is a new 110 Cam, Bearings and Even and New Crank. New Rockers covered with New EMPI Valve Covers. New Large Capacity Oil Sump Kit which adds 1.5 extra quarts of oil to increase oil supply, prevent oil starvation and increase cooling by far. New Upper and Lower Degree Pulleys, New 009 Distributor with Electronic Ignition and the Expensive Plug Wires (This in Another Detail that makes a Huge difference that so many people leave out of their restoration). New Bosch Blue Coil, Easy pour Angled Oil Filler, New Dual Manifold with Brand New Very Costly Webber Two Barrel Carburetor. There have been brand new jets installed and fine tuned by Motorworks, to feed the carburetor correctly. There is a New Electronic Fuel Pump (Mounted Under the Gas tank up front) and New Fuel Regulator Set at about 2.5. New Baffle and Hardware. As you can see I have all of the Specialty Cooling Tins installed on the motor that are so important that so many decide not to do. Of course, all New Gaskets, Seals, Bosch Super Plugs, Wires, Bolts and all the Hardware.

The Chassis on the vehicle has had the following upgrades and modifications done to make this beautiful vehicle even safer to drive on a daily basis. The Transmission was removed, Cleaned, Drained, Filled with New Gear Oil and then reinstalled. There are New Axles and all four Brand New Shocks were installed. Every brake component was replaced with New OEM Factory parts from Dual Master Cylinder, Four Brand new Wheel Cylinders, New Reservoir, to all New Brake Pads, and Shoes. Needless to say, it will stop on a dime. The Entire front end was removed, Serviced, Seals Greased, Cleaned, and Re Installed with all New Tie Rods, Tie Rod Ends, and a New Steering Stabilizer. I had Mid America Motorworks do a full Wheel Alignment including Camber ad Caster for that smooth straight ride. I put Brand New Aluminum 8 Spoke Rims, Brand New Starfire, Sport Metric 165R15 tires on this year.

You will be very hard pressed to find a cleaner V.W. online or anywhere else, as meticulous care and effort have went into every step of this restoration.

Should anyone have any additional questions or want to see any additional photos, please email before bidding. I would rather have ALL questions answered prior to anyone making any bids on my baby!!

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.

2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
