1957 Ragtop Project Car with paint
Painted horizon blue by professional restoration shop several years ago but car sat and touchup is needed in spots, one bubble area just rear of drivers door is biggest and included in pictures, handful of paint nicks on rest of body, mostly on front nose and rear apron edges but overall body is in really nice shape
Body and fenders are very clean and straight otherwise
Roofline and ragtop area are very clean and straight
Dash is uncut and very clean
Beautiful 4 tab hood and W decklid, great doors and fenders, some surface rust under fenders and underside front and rear
Horizon blue looks like the original color too based on rear seat area
Bullet fenders and hella headlamps
New front and rear bumpers still in package, bumper mounts, some ragtop parts, aluminum rails, old ragtop with front and rear metal inserts, new brake parts, some brake lines and cables and all front and rear shocks in boxes new all go with car
Engine is 36 hp and was rebuilt by professional VW shop several years ago
Again, this was a professional resto that was started and then dropped, so motor was rebuilt and body was done and painted, then sat
I am not sure about whether transmission was rebuilt, so please assume it was not
Pans are definitely rusty and both sides should probably be replaced. There is a three inch round hole on the drivers side under the seat now where I pushed my hand through tonight which shows in the last picture and the drivers rear floor has small holes and is cracked, so the drivers side definitely needs replacement. The battery tray looks okay on passenger side, but if you are doing the drivers side, you might as well do both. It costs the same to ship two pans as it does to ship one. Anyway, figure on two new pans. In the rear package shelf area under the oval, there are two small holes in the rising floor the size of nickels. The bottom side of the car front and rear has surface rust from sitting outside for several years. The front wheels look 1957 era but rears do not. The tires are dry rotted and serve only to move the car around.
Heater channels need to be cleaned up on surface, but seem solid. I will not make any promises on the heater channels, though. I do not know enough about them or VW's. I am more than happy to send more pictures of any area you want to see. Please come to look at the car and inspect it in person.
No seats or steering wheel, no exterior door handles, no glass except for rear oval window glass, a few hardware pieces for ragtop, a few badges, three rear seats but not sure of years.
Body appears to be 1957 from decoding on Samba. Pan also appears to be 1957, but not the same number - this is not a matching numbers car. Also, if I decoded right, engine appears to be 1958 code

New Jersey title on body, but this is not a "numbers matching" car
I can send you the numbers upon request so you can look them up for yourself
This is a great project car for right guy and real hard to find on East Coast
My son and I just bought it last week as a father/son project, but unfortunately we have to admit we have no experience with these VW cars and are in over our heads. If you know VW's, this would make an excellent start on a 1957 ragtop, especially if you like horizon blue
This car must be sold, so please bid accordingly
Responsibility of the winner to arrange for transport. I would be glad to help load the car on transporter and cooperate with a shipper. No warranty or guarantees come with the vehicle-sold as is where is. The vehicle is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early.
Paypal deposit $500 within 48 hours of end of auction

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
VW consumer site finally gets configurator tool back
Tue, Mar 10 2015The traditional vehicle configurator is back on the Volkswagen US consumer website, and it works very well. The company now lets visitors create a virtual model to their own specs and then search for a match among dealer inventories, as is the norm from most automakers. Last summer, Volkswagen tried to break the mold with its thoroughly redesigned consumer website in the US. It sported a slick design but made the highly controversial change of removing the configurator. Instead, visitors were narrowing their selection from a searchable database of models already at dealers. While the streamlined approach immediately told users if their desired car was available, the system also largely hid the prices for options and packages. The newly tweaked design retains the previous tablet-oriented layout, but after clicking a model, the site immediately offers "Build Yours." From there, visitors select a trim, and then the vehicle pops up with options to choose things like colors and packages. The whole layout is clean, features large buttons and works quickly. At the summary page, there's still the opportunity to search for the user's choice in dealer inventories. This is definitely a major improvement.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
