Volkswagen Beetle
This very nice
1956 Beetle is in excellent running and driving condition. An older restoration
that shows very well, this is a wonderful example of a Series 1. One of the
things that I love about this car is that everything works as it should. Lights, wipers, horn, radio, heat, defrost, reserve
lever. It’s all there and it all works. I also love the
fact that it isn’t over done, there’s a bit of patina on the Steering wheel,
gearshift and emergency brake levers for instance. The interior is very nice,
with very little wear and the exterior paint is nearly flawless with the
biggest issue being a crack in the paint on the rear deck lid. I didn’t notice
it for an entire day after we had the car, so it certainly doesn’t stand out. The
undercarriage is in great shape. The pan was powder coated when it was restored
to a nice standard. Other than a small
amount of surface rust on a few of the non-structural parts, it is rust free. The car starts, runs, shifts, steers and stops very
well and is an absolute pleasure to drive. I’ve put over 100 miles on this little Beetle and it
has never missed a beat. The older gentleman that we purchased the car from
stated that he believed the motor to be original to the car. I also had a
friend who is fairly knowledgeable in early VW’s look at it. He thought that it
was more than likely the original engine. Of course we have no was to be sure, but the
speedometer reading of 75k is completely believable given the overall condition
of the car, especially parts that weren’t replaced when it was restored. Overall the 1953-57 Beetles are considered some of the
best built. With many hand crafted items, such as the rear deck lid and front
emblem, these are special cars.
If you have an older VW, Porsche, or special classic you would like to locate a new home for,
we specialize in marketing these cars. As you can see from our presentation we
do a proper job and have many satisfied clients.
Please remember that if you bid and win the auction, you will be
expected to complete the transaction. Recently we have had a few cars sell and
then not have the individual follow through. We put a ton of time and effort
into the cars and the presentation, please respect that and follow through
should you bid. Inspections are welcome, but must take place prior to the end of
auction. Feel free to call or email with any questions, 503-475-8078 Josh,
or 503-819-9007 Matt. We are happy to help you arrange shipping anywhere in the world.
Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES
Fri, Jan 2 2015Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
