This
is a 1978 Volkswagen Convertible Beetle. The car is being used for a daily
driver this summer but it can very easily be restored as it is a pretty solid
good running car. The car was originally from Kansas. For starters the car does
run well shift in all four gears well and reverse, brakes well, and steers well
as it has been driven much this summer. The car has the original fuel injected
engine with 57,500 miles, but the odometer in the car now is from a 1974 as the
original one broke. The top is in great shape with NO holes and is still soft
as it was installed six months ago. Headliner was also replaced along with the
boot for the top. All the glass is in
great shape also. The seats are in good original condition as well as the door
panels but are all in just daily driver condition. The body is in good shape
with a few minor rust issues. The floors are solid and well as then heater
channels, but the driver’s side will need repaired as the previous owner ran
over a curb in a parking lot weakening the sheet metal under the drivers inner
fender making for a rust hole as shown in the pictures and it did spread some. The rear fenders are new, the front ones will
need a little work but can be repaired without replacing. The windows all crank
all the way up and down, and the chrome on the frames is decent but need some
polishing up. Tires are all in good condition. Brakes and brake lines were all
re done as it is a very safe car to drive. The strut towers are in good shape
also. The front and rear bumpers are original and in good condition. All of the
parking, tail light and brake light are in working order. Car comes with an
aftermarket AM FM radio that does work. Carpet is original and in good
condition. I have additional pictures so if needed please feel free to ask. Car
comes with a CLEAN OHIO TITLE IN MY NAME !!! I will NOT DELIVER the car as the lucky bidder
is responsible for the pick-up of the vehicle.

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
