1960 TYPE-1 VOLKSWAGON CONVERTIBLE BEETLE

Due to loosing storage space and downsizing I have decided to sell my original, very rare 1960 Volkswagen Type-1 Beetle Convertible

This Beetle convertible was a pan-off restoration three years ago. The previous owner (second owner of the car) described the car originally being owned by a military man stationed in Germany.    During this restoration every effort was made in preserving this original German authenticity.   Still retains original motor and transaxle with only 26,946 as stated on title.  Only 19 miles added since full restoration. Runs and drives good.  No smoke or oil leaks.  All electrical items work, plus horn. Car was built originally with no radio.   The clutch and brake parts are new.  All seats, seat covers, and door panels are original, never replaced.   The Beetle has a stunning Hartez cloth top, German weave oatmeal carpet, and Original example headliner, with original dome light in working condition.  This car comes with a very special and rare Tonneau and boot cover.   This original Tonneau cover locks in place and comes with two keys.  These items are original and are missing a couple of snaps and show wear.  Clutch, brakes, and tune-up parts etc. came from Wolfsburg West.  Old chip in windshield at bottom passenger side has been repaired.   Chrome around door glass and quarter window glass shows pitting.   Vent wing glass chrome is beautiful.  The included, original spare tire has never been used. Car comes with all original manuals and tool kit.  

This Beetle was not restored to be a show car, but instead to be an example of the originality and nostalgia of the beautiful antique VW bug convertible. 

For further information or questions on the Beetle please message me and I will provide my phone number.  More photos can be made available upon request. Please see all photos and message with any questions prior to bidding. Local pick-up.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept still makes us swoon

Fri, Nov 21 2014

We know, we know – this hot little guy isn't really new or anything. Volkswagen first rolled out the Golf R 400 concept in Beijing earlier this year, and since its debut, we've heard rumors that the German automaker might-perhaps-maybe-hopefully build the thing. Its showing here in Los Angeles simply marks the first time it's debuting in America, and honestly, we can't get enough. So here it is, again. Hello, Golf R 400 – we love you. And what's not to love? What starts as a normal Golf R gets better with a more aggressive appearance, big wheels, some tasteful neon yellow accents, and a whole mess of power. The original concept packed 395 horsepower from an overblown 2.0-liter turbo-four, though the most recent reports suggest a production version could produce over 400 hp. To keep it all in line, the concept has all-wheel drive. And inside, it's the same functional, comfortable Golf we've always loved. There's nothing left to say, really. We love this car, and you should, too. Check it out in the gallery above.
