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!

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range

Wed, Oct 8 2014

Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.

Volkswagen Beetle Special Edition Concepts consider some colorful possibilities

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Volkswagen is using the 2015 New York Auto Show as an opportunity to check consumer reactions to possible special editions of the Beetle. The company's concepts are each aimed at different market niches, and they play up the idea of the car as a fashion accessory as much as a mode of transportation. VW does the most work to the Beetle R-Line concept for performance-minded buyers. Covered in Oryx White Pearl, the model is 0.6-inches wider than stock and wears a more aggressive front bumper with larger intakes. There's even a vent at the tip of the hood sort of like a Porsche 911 GT3. The pearlescent paint really pops thanks to some gloss black trim that covers a rear diffuser and the edges of the spoiler. For the other three concepts, VW tests out some new colors and trim for the Beetle. For example, the company thinks there's demand in the US and China for pink to be added to the palette, and the Pink Color Edition tries that out with a metallic shade. The Convertible Wave is painted in Habanero Orange Metallic but also has retro touches like chrome mirror caps, houndstooth fabric for the seats and a wood dashboard. Finally, the Convertible Denim takes inspiration from a pair of jeans. For a closer look at the colorful members of this quartet check out the gallery from the floor of the New York show.
