This is the only car  that was in our family the longest out of any automobile we owned. That is how much we loved this little bug. It was always a fast little car even though it never had a modified engine in it.

This California VW has not been used since my father in law passed away. He was from Germany and actually got us started with the few Bugs we owned.

Retirement is here now and we have to scale back. I'd love to bring it back to tip top shape, but I can't work on cars any longer and so who have to hope there is someone else out there that can give it the love it deserves.  

The body is in good shape for a 48 year old car that has not been restored. The front hood was a replacement and that was repaired, but it didn't last. I believe I still have some paint left too for it and I'll give it to the buyer along with the extra goodies that are in the pictures.

Please examine the photos. You could repaint the car if you wished to or buff it out and use it as is.

The car is currently not running because fuel is not getting to the carb. I believe from sitting the hoses must have dried out and cracked. The motor cranks good though. The emergency brake inside got disengaged but I'm sure it can be fixed as this is a pretty common thing. From memory I think  the last time I drove the car it was pulling to the left. I haven't opened the sunroof in 10 years so I can't tell you if it works or not. All of this will make you a great story how you brought this ol' buggy back to life so I'll leave the fixin' up to you.

If you have any questions about this 65 Bug, please ask before you bid. I want to be upfront about anything you need to know and will do my best to fill in any blanks. Just want the car to go to a good home and not get hacked up.

Note: The car was properly converted from 6 to 12 volt. I purchased and had installed the window rubber with the trim on it since we liked the original look. We also had pop out rear windows installed as well.

*This car is for sale locally. We reserve the right to cancel the auction early.

Hope you get this friendly little VW.....

Happy Bidding!

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
