1966 VW Bug Convertible/Allstate Trailer Price: $6500
For Sale:1966 VW Bug Convertible with a 1950's Sears Allstate Single Wheel Trailer and many, many spare parts and tools for sale. All VW stuff in my garage must go. The bug itself has what I think is severe rust problems. In the process of taking out the floor pans to replace them, I discovered rusted out sections above the floor pans but below the doors even though I have kept it garaged the whole 10 years I've had it. This goes beyond what I can fix so I need to sell the whole thing.
I bought it in the summer of 2004 from Duffy's Collectible Cars in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for $13,950 and had it delivered to my home here in Mobile, Alabama. I replaced the engine a couple of years later with a brand new 1641 dual port that I had shipped from one of those VW shops in southern California. That engine cost me right at $5,000 and has less than 5,000 miles on it. A few years later I found a nice Sears Allstate Single Wheel Trailer online in L.A. and by the time I bought it and had it shipped to me it was a little over $2,000. About a month after I got the trailer, I had it painted to match the bug, off white and dark blue. I have a pretty good video on youtube of the Bug pulling the trailer around my Court and some videos of VW shows we've been in and won trophies with the Bug in Pensacola, Florida and Gulf Port, Mississippi and Mobile's version of a VW show called "Cruise to the Battleship". That's at youtube.com/ronhmason
Over the years I have accumulated many spare parts and tools and test equipment and it all goes. I'm asking $6,500.00 for the whole thing.
Out of town buyer must make own shipping arrangements.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
