                     1956 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.

10 best new car deals of November 2021

Thu, Nov 4 2021

Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

Recharge Wrap-up: AutoNation CEO calls anti-Tesla laws unnecessary, Common Pence donates subway money

Thu, Nov 13 2014

Volkswagen has presented a list of near-term technologies to improve fuel economy and decrease emissions. The list includes an addition to a coasting function in its stop-start system, a 10-speed DSG transmission and a more power-dense four-cylinder TDI engine. Volkswagen aims to be the world's most sustainable automaker by 2018 through electric mobility, improved design and increased environmental performance from internal combustion vehicles. Volkswagen also announced other technologies for increased interactivity and connectivity in its vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Commence Pence is a system that allows subway riders in London to donate their unused transit money to charity. People visiting the city often load up enough on their subway card (called Oyster Card) to get them through their trip and end up with unused funds leftover. Zander Whitehurst, a British designer, has created a device that can use the card's RFID to accept leftover funds, which then get diverted to charity rather than reverting back to the agency in charge of running the subway fare system. See the video below or read more at Wired. Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation has called Michigan's efforts to ban Tesla's direct sales in the state "unnecessary protectionism." The statement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it dissents from the majority of auto dealers who support a franchise model, as well as laws that forbid automakers selling directly to the consumer. "If Elon Musk wants to make a mistake and go with an inefficient distribution system, that's his right as an American," says Jackson, showing he feels he has little to fear from the electric automaker. Jackson has more to say on the matter, which you can read over at Green Car Reports. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
