You are looking at a very unique 1968 VW Bug. The running gear has a stock 1600 dual port motor with a 4 speed transmission. The motor runs excellent and the transmission is tight and quiet. The suspension on the front beam has been lowered and narrowed, the rear has also been lowered. The front end has dropped spindles, new tie rods, and a new master cylinder.  The floor pan is in excellent shape, we repaired a couple of small holes, but there is no rust.

We selected this car because it still had it's original paint (dark green), and the body was nice and straight and didn’t have any damage. The door jams and the dash are still the original paint and look pretty presentable. We just finished painting the exterior of the car, using high quality multi-stage PPG urethane paint products. As you can see in the pictures we also painted and installed the custom fender skirts and visor.

This bug has a new front windshield, and new rubbers throughout. All the moldings are in excellent shape. The rear windows are the pop-out style, and have new moldings around them as well. The running boards are also new.  The door panels and rugs are in excellent shape. All the lights, wipers, horn and gauges work good. It has an older style radio, but isn’t hooked up.

 The headliner is new, and so are the seats. The 1966 bug style seats were professionally made from Mexican blankets at an upholstery shop, and look really stylish.    

The car is still fresh from its restoration, and runs, drives and rides excellent. The tires in the front are 135 R15 and the rear are 165 R15. The tires are in good shape, plenty of tread and no cracks, they are mounted on fresh two-tone painted stock 4-bolt wheels and hubcaps.

This nice old 68 Bug will shine a very long time and turn plenty of heads as it rolls down the street. This car could be driven anywhere. Thanks for looking at our auction!  If you have any questions send us a message or call 208-888-1240 (ask for Jack)

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.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
