 1962 VW Beetle

Up for sale is my 1962 VW Beetle in stock condition and 99% original parts.
I will try to describe it to the best of my knowledge.

This is a clean bug with no rust at all, very clean and straight chassis and strong
body with all original german fenders, hood, engine lid, headlights and rear lights.
Back bumper is original and front is an excellent quality reproduction from Wolfsburg West
purchased back in 2003 and still shines like new.

Original color is L390 Gulf Blue and exterior was repainted once while interior keeps original
paint from factory.  Paint has seen better years with minor bumps most noticeable one in
front passenger side fender. Some rubber is new as fender beadings, tailight housings, lid nose
and front markers.   All other rubber for windows, engine lid and hood is burned out.

107k original documented miles. 95k in 2000, 99k in 2002, 102k in 2003
and have not been driven much since then to actual 107k mileage in 2014.

Interior original paint looks nice with AM working radio, great condition steering wheel,
refurbished seats back in 2003 still looks great and original door panels all around.
Just needs a new carpet and headliner.  Seat belts for front and back.
Original VW keys.

All lights and turn signals working, horn is there but not connected.
Rims sandblasted and painted gulf blue inside and off white outside.

Suspension is in great condition with torsion adjusters installed to lower
the front a little bit.  Original trunk liner and matching spare tire.

Super clean chassis with absolutely no rust.

California clear title with black/yellow license plates.

Custom front and rear aluminum license plate frames
along with Deutschland bumper sign.

Engine is 1200 cc and running great with all of its original components.
I really don't know if the engine is for this car from factory but
checking wolfsburg west website this car was built July 1961
and engine # 5873404 shows as June 1961. 
Pink slip shows 1st year sold 1961 with year model 1962.
If you know better than me and can check this information you
may be getting an all numbers matching car that are so rare to find these days.

Have plenty of receipts for parts purchased and replaced since 2000
and regular mechanical services.

I'm sure something is forgotten so please do not hesitate to ask

to the best of my knowledge.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range

Wed, Oct 8 2014

Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.

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.
