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.

Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
