It is time to sell my VW bug project. I will never get to it and I am tired of tripping over it. This is a cool car but quite the project, perfect to finish the way you like it.


I got this Bug the way you see it in the photos and have done nothing to it except a few hours of bodywork. The previous owner was in the process of restoring this bug when he had to put it outside to work on a more pressing project, while outside the snow and ice slid off of his shop roof and onto the car. He lost interest and I got it.  Working at a museum doing restorations full time means I don't have a lot of time for my own toys. I fixed most of the damage on it but didn't finish the drivers door, it may be easier to replace it but I have saved worse. The bug was freshly painted before the snow slide and you could probably get away with touching it up if you like the color. 

I have boxes of new and used parts for this car including a new convertible top with new bows and padding. New glass. New Rubber seals. New wiring harness. New trim. I believe the only thing missing is the back of the back seat though I have never done a full inventory of the parts.

As it sits this car is assembled from several and the title i got with it is not for it so I am selling it with NO TITLE. The body is a 1960 convertible. The Chassis is a 1973 and the motor is from a 1963 Volkswagen Bus. I was told the motor ran when I got it but I never tried to start it. I believe it still turns but it has been sitting for several years since I have tried to spin it over so I am making no guarantees.

This is a no reserve auction, there is over 5000 dollars of parts and paint invested in this car and if you get it for less than it is yours. I need 500 via paypal in the first 48 hours and the rest in cash upon pickup. I will not deliver but I will help with loading, the tires are old and bald but they hold air. I can store the car for a while after purchase but not inside. This bug is located at the Wyman Museum in Craig CO and if you call or email I will be glad to answer any questions or take more photos.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

VW confirms three-row Tiguan to be built in Mexico

Tue, Mar 10 2015

Volkswagen has been toying with the idea of a three-row crossover for some time – as evidenced by the CrossBlue concept in 2013 and the Magellan concept way back in 2002. But now the German automaker is bringing it to fruition, and it's doing so right in our back yard (or across the fence, anyway). In its latest announcement, VW confirmed recent reports that it will build a new three-row Tiguan at its plant in Puebla, Mexico. It will be made alongside the Golf and Jetta at the company's largest assembly plant outside of Germany, after a billion-dollar expansion program that will encompass nearly a million more square feet of space and employ some 2,000 workers. Once production of the new Tiguan comes on full steam in 2017, the plant will be pumping out 500 of them every day to be delivered in the Americas, but also exported to markets overseas (save for China and Europe). At that point, VW will be producing 90 percent of its products for North America locally. Of course this won't be the first time Volkswagen will be producing a Tiguan. The current model was introduced in 2007 and underwent a facelift in 2011, but includes only two rows of seating and is imported to North America from factories overseas. VOLKSWAGEN DE MEXICO TO PRODUCE THE NEW THREE-ROW TIGUAN IN ITS PUEBLA ASSEMBLY PLANT Mar 9, 2015 - Investment of $1 billion at Puebla plant - US-CEO Michael Horn: Localization key to safeguard our competitive position - Start of production end of 2016 Puebla/Herndon, March 9, 2015 – Volkswagen de Mexico announced today that a three-row version of the Tiguan will be produced at its plant in Puebla, Mexico. The car will be launched to the markets in 2017. The company will invest $1 billion for the expansion and modernization of its production facilities at the Puebla plant, as well as tooling to produce auto parts at suppliers. Volkswagen de Mexico's strategy of technological upgrading, which started with the production of the new Golf on the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, goes to the next step with the new Tiguan. "Localization has become key to safeguarding our competitive position on the global market and manufacturing the Tiguan in Mexico will bring production closer to the U.S.-market," said Michael Horn, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America. "It is another proof point that Volkswagen is committed to further growth in the U.S. and North American markets.
