Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States
|
Nice Superbeetle car was pretty much 98% rustfree before restoration southern car always in Georgia as far as i know. Car was stripped for paint all fenders off interior out all windows out hood and trunk lid off. There was a little rust in the pans which were original they were repaired by welding and some new heater channel section welded in by battery area. We did not replace pans only repaired them they are in very sound shape. Body was prepped for paint and painted at the local Spray-n-Glow with urethane enamel single stage. Car was painted 2x by them to get it nice. It is not a show winner it is no ta perfect job but it is pretty darn nice especially from a few feet away. It is painted the original color Clementine orange and all the door jams were redone the underside of the hood under the hood and inside the trunk lid. the pans were repainted and undercoated inside and out to prevent rust returning. New carpet headliner new seat coverings new padding new door panels . Windows put back in with new rubber all lights put back on. Then taken to Vw shop to get all lights and signals working properly. I don't think horn works but interior light works. The blower does not work. Heat connected and working. Engine is a rebuild by PO and all I know is it runs well doesn't smoke and has good power. It is nicely detailed. All fuel lines and fuel tank cleaned and or replaced as needed.Brake lines replaced and master cylinder with help from VW shop they work very well and stay firm to the foot. The clutch was replaced and the rear main seal to curb the VW spot but she still leaks a drop when parked. Car driveable and running well. No front end shimmy. Very presentable driver with hardly a nick or scratch on it. 404-435-6943 for questions. NOTE CAR SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE ONLY WE ARE LEGALLY REGISTERED OWNERS BUT TITLE LOST ALONG THE WAY BY PREVIOUS OWNER AND WE CANNOT GET A REPLACEMENT IN GEORGIA SO DON'T ASK CHECK WITH YOUR STATE TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT LICENSED. BY THE WAY CAR IS OLD WILL IT MAKE IT TO MICHIGAN?????? MAYBE MAYBE NOT IT IS OLD IF YOU ARE MECHANICALLY INCLINED YES.

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.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
