1956 Beetle Oval Window Ragtop With Semaphores on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
Original matching body and pan. Car was restored 15+ years ago, still a good looking car. Has been in TX since restoration, so very little rust. Pans & heater channels replaced at restoration. Grafted German ragtop that works perfectly, very tight. Has rare locking steering column. Very tight car, no rattles. Doors open and close like new.
Very good running 1641 dual port with 12v alternator, brand new clutch, new Weber 40 IDF expertly tuned, new throttle cable, valve adjustment, plugs, tranny flush, new GT exhaust. New Empi shifter (have original), 009 distributor. Runs & drives great! Car needs nothing to be out cruising this weekend. Adjustable German beam up front. Car is shown with smoothies and Empi 5 spoke wheels, but I would prefer to sell it with the Empi 5 spoke wheels (negotiable) Brand new TMI carpet and tweed & vinyl upholstery, looks great. Modern style 3 point seat belts. New seat tracks installed several inches back for modern size humans! I'm 6'5" and fit well. Wipers, speedo, etc work. LED snowflake taillights. Both Semaphores work well and wired to flash. Hyper-accurate gas gauge included at no extra cost! (bamboo stick) Overall the car looks like it was restored 15 years or so ago and been well kept since. Big rock chip on the hood as shown, small rock chips on the fenders here and there. Some rust bubbling up in the spare tire well, but no other rust issues. All German glass in great shape. Cool documentation back to 1957. Can call or text Sean at 713-443-59 zero 3 with questions. MAY also consider partial trades for a lesser 60s beetle, but must be solid and make trade offer in person so I can inspect your car. Only pre-1967 beetles, no buses, type 3s, guns, etc. **Waiting on tax return? I am willing to take a deposit and hold the car in dry storage for free (a month or two if needed). |

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
