This fantastic car is an original 1960 Volkswagen Beetle! This is NOT a show car! This vehicle is an every day driver with plenty of dents and dings and character. It's one of the coolest cars ever! The car was originally purchased in Helena, Montana in 1960 and has spent the rest of it's life in the Rocky Mountains of Butte, Montana. I am the fourth owner of this 53 year old car and I drive it every day in the summer. Like me, she hates cold weather and pretty much refuses to go out in it! This car would be perfect for someone in a warm climate. The car is in original condition except for the tail lights, which were upgraded to include turn signals. Also, the man who owned the car before me installed a driver's seat belt. He intended for his teenage daughter to own the vehicle and he wanted to keep her safe, but she couldn't master driving a manual transmission. This is why the car only has one seat belt (lap belt only). I now have two small children and I don't feel like it's right for them to ride in a car with no seat belts. Even if it is really FUN and they LOVE it!! So it's time for this car to find a new home with someone who will love her as much as I do!
This vehicle is in original condition and has NOT been restored. It has normal wear and tear that you would find on a car that is driven every day and is 53 years old. The carpet is worn and torn in some places. There is a large dent in the right rear fender (see photo). One of the hub caps is missing. I have tried and tried to find another matching hub cap, but these are some kind of rare aftermarket VW SS hubcaps (see photo). They are virtually impossible to replace, so you would do well to just buy a set of four new hubcaps. Besides that, they are pretty rusty. The steering wheel has many cracks. The radio doesn't work, but is a super cool pull-out portable radio. It was designed to be taken out of the dash so you could bring your tunes to the beach or on a picnic. It has its own special key, that you insert into the radio to release it. You can see in the photo the hole where you would insert the key. There is an auxiliary gas heater for extra warmth in the winter. The heater is not hooked up as I only drive the car in nice weather. The seat coverings are cracked and the driver and passenger seats have big holes where the covering is missing all together. In the pictures I have one seat cover on the drivers side and a towel on the passenger side. Sorry. I meant to remove those before I took the photos. I can add a photo of the seats if you want to see it. The back seat has no holes or tears. Just the front ones. The headliner is discolored. Some of the fabric wall covering is torn and water damaged because the car has leaky seals. Also there are dents in the passenger side door from where the previous owner hit it with her other car's door every day while it was parked in the garage (door dings). These are evident in the pictures. There are two chips in windshield. Also, I replaced the original windshield wipers with new ones because I was going to drive to Helena one day and it looked like it was going to rain. The original wipers are in the glove box. The rubber was too old and hard to do any actual wiping, but I kept them thinking I could just replace the rubber. The car has its original VW Luggage Rack. These are really hard to find, too. The car is in good running condition and is driven every day. The vehicle's Owners Manual, Accessories Catalog, Service Booklet for Preventive Maintenance, and Distributors and Dealers in Canada, USA and Mexico Catalog are included.
Includes: Original VW Luggage Rack, New Battery, New Tires, Aux Gas Heater (not hooked up), Original Owners Manual, Original Accessories Catalog, Original Owners Manual for Le Chaperon Portabe Car Radio, Spare Tire, Aftermarket VW SS Hubcaps
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you would like to see any other photos, please ask and I will post them ASAP.
Buyer is responsible for pick up of the vehicle. I accept PayPal or Cashiers Check. Immediate payment or arrangement for payment by cashiers check is expected for Buy it Now; otherwise payment is expected within three days of the end of auction.
Thank you for looking at this awesome car!

Average transaction prices climb to a record $36,270 in January
Sat, Feb 3 2018The automotive sector made a hash of the numbers last month, a mess of pluses and minuses clogging the transaction-price charts according to Kelley Blue Book. The overall industry rose one percent, even though buyers bought fewer cars and light vehicles in January 2018 vs 2017 using the selling-day adjusted rate. Due to January transaction prices rising to $36,270, a record for January, the value of new vehicles sold climbed more than $1 billion compared to January 2017. KBB's transaction prices don't include customer incentives, which changes the complexion slightly; average incentive spending rose to just over ten percent. The average transaction price in December 2017 was $36,756, so January dropped a bit - nothing unexpected, with the month annually blamed for "January doldrums." More revealing is the fact that the average transaction price in January 2017 was $34,910. This year's plumped-up figure came courtesy of the continued shift to crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks, which shouldn't surprise anyone who's read an automotive blog in the past 20 years. That category comprised nearly 70 percent of new vehicle sales for the month. Some manufacturers profited more than others, though. Fiat Chrysler managed 12.8 percent fewer sales in January compared year-on-year, but the company's vehicles sold for $1,300 more. The Ford brand suffered a 6.3-percent dip in sales, but brand transaction prices increased $2,000, while a Lincoln sold for $8,700 more on average. General Motors sold more cars and sold them for more money; overall GM transaction prices rose four percent, or $1,270, while a GMC traded hands for seven-percent more than in January 2017 and a Cadillac got $2,300 more on average. Of KBB's listed automakers, the Volkswagen Group got the most of out its customers, transaction prices rising at the German automaker by 5.6 percent to $42,243 in January 2018 compared to a year earlier. American Honda followed with a 4.3-percent increase to $28,991, GM in third at 4.1 percent to $40,313. Find your next car at Autoblog using our new and used car listings or the Car Finder tool. Broken out by segment, minivans rocked the table, transaction prices leaping by 7.9 percent to $35,380 compared to January a year earlier. Luxury cars boasted the next-highest rise, at 3.6 percent to $58,533.
Jay Leno takes a ride in Gabriel Iglesias' classic 1966 VW bus
Tue, Feb 3 2015We've seen Jay Leno driving all manner of vehicles, many of them epically fast. But few (this is side of his steamers, anyway) have been as slow – or quite as beautiful – as this classic 1966 Volkswagen Samba. While many of the vehicles featured on episodes of Jay Leno's Garage have actually been from Jay Leno's own garage, the former talk-show host has been known to feature some interesting rides from fellow comedians. A couple of weeks ago it was Adam Carolla's '68 Lamborghini Islero, and this vintage, pristine VW bus belongs to Gabriel Iglesias. It's in beautiful condition and is a sight to see, even if it has a little trouble making its way down the highway. Or starting up again after a quick snack break.
Volkswagen could build plug-in hybrids in China
Sun, Apr 6 2014When you're Europe's largest automaker and your largest global market happens to be the one most notorious for its pollution (China), some solutions just present themselves. Volkswagen may be heeding that call. During the upcoming Beijing Motor Show, the company is expected to announce plans to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China, Reuters says, citing sources within the company. Few details have emerged, though the plug-ins will likely be produced at VW's Foshan factory in South China, which currently makes the Golf and Audi A3 and has plans to eventually make 600,000 vehicles annually. News has been percolating for a while, as Oliver Schmidt, general manager engineering and environmental office for Volkswagen Group of America, said last March that the company was planning at least two plug-in hybrid lines under the VW badge (and another three with its Audi and Porsche affiliates), including possibly a Touareg and Jetta PHEV. VW said late last month that it was looking to speed up development of "particularly eco-friendly models" made by Shanghai Volkswagen as well as developing a "new, very eco-friendly vehicle" with First Automotive Works (FAW). Earlier this year, VW unveiled its Golf GTE plug-in hybrid at the Geneva Motor Show. That model has a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to provide 201 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The car can travel as many as 81 miles on electric power alone.
