I am selling a beautiful 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. Her name is Bella, and she runs beautifully. She is an old girl, so of course she needs to be taken care of as such. I bought her from a couple who took great care of her. Since I purchased her earlier this year, I have taken her on a number of road trips, and she has never failed me. I just took her into a local mechanic, and they said she is in beautiful shape with no oil leaks. She has a beautiful interior, with custom paint on the dash. She has speakers, but no subwoofer or stereo. All of the hooks ups and grounding cables are included with her. If you drive her right, she will get you 30mpg. She takes a couple of minutes to warm up when you start her. She does need a paint job, but she still looks beautiful with her maroon and white paint.
Her tires are practically new. I had to take the tire studs out come April, but the tires are in perfect condition with tons of tread left (no leaks). She also got a nice ding on her left front side (not a big dent) that could be fixed before painting. She has a spot on the roof that is cracking, but NO LEAKS and can easily be fixed. She just recently had an oil change. All lights work, brakes work perfectly, and she is ready to drive!
Here are some of the upgrades that have been done:
INTERIOR
Headliner (Birds of Norway)
Door Panels (Birds of Norway)
Wolfberg edition stirring wheel with custom paint to match
Dash pad removed to reveal VW's beautifully shaped metal dash
All the pulls, switches, ashtray, oh shit handle, ect. have been modified to fit the metal dash
New headlight switch installed
Custom hand-fabricated dash inserts which house 3 guages:
Auto Shift tachometer with ADJUSTABLE shift light!
VDO oil pressure gauge
VDO volt meter gauge
Oh-Shit Handles (all 3) have multi scheme paint or headliner trimming wrapped to match
Trunk release lever rerouted near the gas pedal for easy foot pressure release
Back-up trunk release hidden under the right front fender
Fire extinguisher mounted under the dash, easy one hand accessibility.
Kick panel speakers
Custom 2-Stage, 3 color paint scheme throughout interior
Heater cable tubes reamed out
All new HEATER cables (EVEN THE DEFROST WORKS!!!)
New heavy-duty window cranks
New Speedo cable
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Replaced the original flimsy heater pipe with New Stainless Steel Flex Exhaust Pipe (ceramic coated black)
Air intake filter
Chrome Carburetor Cap
Aftermarket oil circulation system (most vw don't have this, it's a huge improvement)
Ceramic coated engine tins
Newer exhaust
Rally race crankshaft pulley with degree notches
VDO oil pressure (dual) switch so you have the pressure gauge and the dummy light still operates!
TRANSMISSION
Short shifter (Scat) short throw shifter easy shift (AWESOME, a must have for the V-dub)
New CV Joints
New clutch cable
WHEELS
Custom paint to match
Chrome Moonies on all 4 wheels
Newer wheel bearings
Tires with 80% tread left on them
Newer brake pads
New metal brake line from front to back. Newer rubber brake lines to all 4 wheels. Bled all 4 corners.
EXTERIOR
All body beading removed and panels aligned
Stainless Steel SS eye lids, eye lashes
New left side view mirror
All chrome is there
The only thing that needs to be fixed on her is the emergency brake. It only needs two new lines replaced and it will be good to go! :)
I need to sell her ASAP, so I have lowered the price from $4000 to $3300 - will accept some lower offers. I am about to give birth and need to find a new home for her soon. Clear title! Tags good until 2015, if you live in Oregon.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016
Mon, 13 Jan 2014On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
