Here we have this 1962 cabriolet.
It's dressed to look like a 1958.
It's on a 1966 pan, & is registered as such.

- Running & driving car
- 12 volt conversion with alternator, new battery & wired for the snowflake lights
- Front disks ( your standard Ghia swap )
- New tires
- Recent front end rebuild
- Stock width select-a-drop
- Stainless braided brake lines & new hard lines.
- New master cylinder.
- Powder coated wheels
- Good running 1600 single port
- Transmission shifts well, no noise & good clutch
- The body is very solid
- Top frame is pretty complete with great glass
- New latches & catches for the top.
- New windshield, rubber & trim
- Correct convertible rear seat & low back front seats
- The package tray & heater channels have already been replaced by the previous owner & they put a new pan seal in as well.
- A lot more new parts ! receipts included.

** The car is pretty solid, but does have small holes in the passenger side pan.
I'd replace the body rails too, but they are more than solid enough to drive on.
If you want to paint it, it'll need some body work. I think it looks cool as is though.
It's missing the side glass & 3 window regulators. Otherwise, pretty complete.
Of course, it needs all the soft goodies, and for the correct 2 tone complete kit with a new top is only about $1000 through J-bugs.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have & more pictures will be added upon request.

Reserve is less than I have in the car. Good Luck

Yes, that's a vintage "ahoogah" horn under the bonnet. Hutchins, I believe. It makes one hell of a racket too, perfect for this car.
It also has a brand new 12 volt VW horn wired & ready to go, just needs the horn button kit ( screws / springs / etc. )

The wood for the top is in pretty decent shape, I was able to stabilize most of it already.
The rear section ( above the deck lid ) will either need to be reworked, or replaced though. It's not rotten, just broken....but mostly there.
The header piece is a WCM composite & should last forever.

On May-27-14 at 17:46:36 PDT, seller added the following information:

I've had several offers to end the listing early & sell it outside of eBay.
Before you ask, I'd really rather go through eBay.
They've always done me right in the past & I feel they've earned their cut if it sells.

If you're curious about the reserve, it's fair for both parties.
Almost every time I tell someone, they instantly offer me less.
It's a reflex, I get it.

Please use the bid button to submit your offer.

Quick update :Got the top aligned with the new latches. Found the correct "dome top" screws as well. It looks pretty cool with the skeleton top up. Very "HoodRide"Giving it a thorough tune up, etc. & apparently the previous owner was mistaken when he said it's a 1600. It's a 1200cc from 1961. The difference is barely noticeable as you probably know. Just thought I'd add the info so you're not like "What the hell man ? You said...."

On Jun-01-14 at 00:27:40 PDT, seller added the following information:

Another update :
The accelerator pump needed to be replaced, so I threw a full carb kit at it. It's running beautifully now & I'm logging plenty of miles. Hope you don't mind ;)

After the full tune, It'll actually do 65mph+ on that little 1200cc now. It pulls hard too, the engine seems real healthy.

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
