I’m selling my 1957 VW because I have bought too many cars and I need to thin out the herd. Insurance and registration is breaking my pocket book. This is what I know about the history of this car. It was restored in 1998 in Kingman Az. It was sold to a family in Costa Mesa Ca. It was next sold to a family in Huntington Beach who then moved to Sacramento Ca. The owner lost interest in it and that’s when I purchased it, that was 2010. When I got it, it didn’t run well and I discovered it had gotten water in the heads. I tore down the motor and inspected it. The lower end looked good so I put new pistons and liners, new valve springs and did a complete valve job and installed cromoly push rods. It runs great now. The pan has one rust spot, see pictures. It is located at the back of the pan on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel. Kind of an odd place, it almost looks like someone cut a square hole and water got in there and rusted the edges. It also has a hole by the battery where the positive battery cable shorted out and burnt a hole, see pictures, you can see the hole in the picture of the battery right above the fuse holder. Other than those two small issues the body and pan are solid. The paint is 16 years old and has many areas of cracking. It also has a few spots on the hood that need repaired, a ladder came off a construction truck driving down the road and landed on the car. It also hit the roof, that spot has been repaired. It also has VW hood syndrome were someone tried to close the hood without releasing the support. It’s not bad but it’s there. The headliner needs replaced, it was never installed properly. The carpet is worn, no holes but doesn’t stand up anymore. The upholstery looks good but is also 16 years old. The dash was welded up buy the previous owner and all new gauges installed. I just hooked up the speedometer last year so the mileage only shows 450. All gauges and lights work as they should. It has a small oil leak from the motor and a small oil leak from the transmission, just enough to be annoying. It has a Kenwood radio backed by a 300 watt Boston gt24 amp. Car is sold as is, buyer is responsible for shipping. Car is available for inspection. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking.

Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
