A PIECE OF HISTORY! We are the second owners of this vehicle which was purchased new by my aunts brother on May 14,1965 in Wittmund,Germany while he was stationed there. He retained ownership until we purchased it on March 10,1995. Our intent was to restore it back to its original splendor but unfortunately we haven't. It has been stored and only driven to keep things in running order. This would be a great project for the serious "bug" fan. Has original paint and interior but definitely needs some TLC. We have all of the original paperwork right down to the notebook the original owner recorded everything. The paperwork that came with the car is mostly in German or German/English. The VW was shipped to the US in August 1967 and arrived in Norfolk,Va. Sept. 1967. The only thing missing is the front fog light and the spare tire gas tank which were on the car when shipped, but were missing when the car arrived in Norfolk. This is verified on shipping papers. Even though the mileage is low, it was driven daily. The original owner was employed at local college in the same community he lives. Since coming to the US it has resided in NC. The vehicle does have some surface rust. The only rust through area is under the battery. Driveable but needs the brakes gone through. Radio does not work but have been told it is repairable.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
