1964 Volkswagen Beetle Bug, Sunroof, Matching Numbers! Perfect Christmas Gift on 2040-cars
Bellflower, California, United States
I would consider this bug a very nice weekend car. Not a daily driver nor a show car. Looks great, and turns heads all the time. Starts right up and very reliable. I've driven it in on several two hour stretches and cruised steady at 60mph with no problem. Turns heads!
Matching Numbers Vehicle! Checked the stampings on body, pan, engine, and title, all from September 1963. According to the title this vehicle was first sold in 1963. Samba.com designates all stampings from exact month and year. Chassis number: 5889351, Engine number: 8557720, Body number: 5889351, Title VIN: 5889351. Original Sunroof! Sunroof opens and closes with no problem New Interior! All seats and door panels are new and look great. All glass is in good condition. Windows work good. All weather seals are in good condition. Lights work good. Headlight bezels show signs of aging. I bought this car only a few months age with the intention of giving it to my son as a birthday gift, however after several conversations with him I realized that it was not something he desires. I have been driving it around town and have enjoyed it, but i have too many other cars, and need to sell this one. It would make the perfect christmas gift. I believe the original color of the vehicle was blue, I can tell in the sunroof frame that it was a different color. Paint looks good but it is not perfect, I have found a few imperfections here and there. However it looks good. The chrome on a couple of wheels has some chrome chipping. The front inner fenders show signs of prior accident. I have no knowledge of the accident but I can tell that it has been repaired. There is presently no stereo in it, but upon completion of this sell a stereo with a classic look will be installed. I have in my possession a clean California title. Sale of this vehicle is as is with no implied warranties. I've described this vehicle to the best of my abilities, I am no expert or a dealer. Personal inspections are advised and can be made via appointment. Buyer is responsible for a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of sale completion. If you win this auction make sure you pay your deposit within 24 hours and full price within 72 hours. If you win and do not pay I will give you negative feedback. This is good looking car that you can cruise and enjoy without the price of a fully restored bug. Good Luck and Happy Bidding! |

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test
Wed, Sep 29 2021The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.
