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!

Volkswagen scores dominant 1-2-3 finish at Monte Carlo Rally

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Racing calendars change from year to year, but most series have that one race they just couldn't do without: the Monaco Grand Prix for F1, Le Mans for endurance racing, Dakar for rally raid, the Indianapolis 500 for Indy, the Daytona 500 for NASCAR... and for the World Rally Championship, it's the Monte Carlo Rally. Winning the Monte brings with it its own measure of bragging rights, but locking out the podium is another story altogether. And that's just what Volkswagen did this weekend on the Cote d'Azur. The hard-fought season-opener saw nine-time world champion (and seven-time Monte Carlo Rally winner) Sebastien Loeb return with Citroen, but ultimately it was the VW team that won – and won big, taking a commanding 1-2-3 finish. Sebastien Ogier (with Julien Ingrassia) finished first, followed by Jari-Matti Latvala (with Miika Anttila) in second and Andreas Mikkelsen (with Ola Floene) in third, all of them in the Volkswagen Polo R WRC that was just updated in time for the start of the season. The rally passed right through the Forest Saint Julien where Ogier was born, and at the end of it all, Mikkelsen walked little more than 50 steps from the Volkswagen garage to his condo at Quai Antoine 1er in Monte Carlo. It was only the second time VW has locked out the podium since hitting the scene two years ago, following the German team's 1-2-3 finish in Australia last season en route to its second consecutive world championship. This also marked the second year in a row that Ogier and VW have won the Monte, after narrowly losing out to Loeb in '03. The achievement in Monaco this weekend made VW only the fifth manufacturer to take the top three spots in the Monegasque capital: Renault-Alpine became the first in 1973, followed by Lancia (with the Stratos) in '76 and then again (with the Delta Integrale) in '89, Audi sandwiched between in '84 and Citroen with the "dream team" of Loeb, Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz in 2003. (Peugeot achieved the same in 2009, but that was when the Monte Carlo Rally had left the WRC and was run as part of the less prominent and lower-spec Intercontinental Rally Challenge.) Not even Subaru, Mitsubishi, Toyota or Ford - all dominant forces in their time - can claim that feat. The victory secures the Polo R WRC's place as the most dominant car in the championship, winning over 85 percent of the rallies in which it has been entered since its debut in 2003.

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

Mon, Feb 24 2014

How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
