For Sale is a 1962 Voltswagen Beetle Sedan with a ragtop. I bought this with the intensions of turning it into a Herbie car. The body/fenders/hood & trunk lid,hood, & wheels was taken off and sandblasted in and out. It has always been in my garage with just light surface rust. Sand and prime. It has new floor boards,luggage rack, front trunk clip and one heater channel already welded into place. The other heater channel needs to be welded in to place and there is one small section of the front lower inner fender that needs to be fixed. It well need small amount of body work then paint. All the fenders/doors look good. The floor and front end has already been painted a gloss black. The motor is a brand new turn key 1600 cc dual port motor, the transmission is also brand new. All of the brakes, and drums/lines/bearings/seals/shocks are brand new along with all new interior, carpet, complete wiring kit, seat covers, new German chrome front and back bumpers & running boards, lights/buckets, seals, hubcaps, and extra new body parts, has 2-new tires. All the parts are brand new in boxes. Do have some of the original glass. There are extra parts like wheels, I think there are two more complete ragtops, front and back seats, drums, gas tanks, brake pedals, trunk lid & hood and other small parts from another bug. I am sure that I'm missing something. It wont take much to finish this bug. Once its done you could make a few hundred bucks. I don't have the time right now to get it done, and If i does not sell, I'll push it into a conner and finish it at a later date. I have way over in cost then what my start price is. My lost your gain!
VW Body will be bolted to frame and will have all 4 steel rims so it could be loaded onto a trailer for transport.
Selling all together, dont even ask to me sell certain parts, its all or nothing!
I do not show any pictures of the extra parts listed above. The pictures are of the new/old parts of what you do see. If your serious about this bug and want to see pictures I will be glad to take some and send them to you.
When I bought this car it came with a title that has been signed, but not dated. I never had it titled in my name. You will have no problems getting this titled in your name.
If you have questions just ask, I will do my best to answer any.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
