You are bidding on a stunningly beautiful 1970 Classic VW Beetle. The odometer reads 56,435 and although one might assume it may have "rolled over," given the vehicle's 43 year existence -- the original California title reflected mileage not in excess of 56k, and that is what is now reported on the Massachusetts title. The carefully preserved and restored condition of the vehicle as well as the existence of the original factory engine in excellent running condition has led several experienced classic VW Beetle mechanics to theorize the stated odometer mileage may in fact not reflect a "roll over" of the reading. This vehicle was a California beetle (Los Angeles) shipped to Boston, MA in May, 2012. Numbers match (dash VIN & chassis VIN). A birth certificate from the German VW Auto Museum is included. The vehicle was built at the German factory on April 13, 1970 and left the factory on April 20, 1970 (shipped to the US). The engine (#B6-311-437) is the original engine from the factory and is in excellent running order. New coil, fuel filter, and other items too numerous to mention. The original factory color was L19K Yukon Yellow, but the former owner had the vehicle fully restored and repainted a beautiful burgundy. There are two very tiny dings in the driver door. There are no other dents or dings. One pan was replaced during the former owner's restoration. There is very little rust, having always been garaged. New tires & chrome VW wheel caps. New battery. The wheels are chrome with minor blemishes. Bumpers have very minor blemishes - no dings or dents. When restored, the former owner took liberty with the interior by replacing the factory black leatherette seating with velour cloth in a bucket seat style. A rare AM/FM stereo radio is one of the vehicle's options. It is currently connected only to the 1 dash speaker but a new owner could install additional speakers for true stereo sound. Also included is a very rare engine lid key lock. One key operates the ignition, both driver & passenger doors, as well as the engine lid. The black convertible top is in new condition and includes a new black boot cover when the top is down. All owners manuals are included. A number of collectible extras are included: several framed historic 1970 beetle ads from various magazines; the original 1970 VW beetle marketing brochure (18 pages); several books on the 1970 beetle, including a rare shop manual. A replica plastic model painted same burgundy color w/ black convertible, housed in a mirrored plastic display case is included. A black VW cap and a blue t-shirt w/ snoopy and tweety bird driving a red convertible beetle is also included. All-in-all, this vehicle is in very nice mechanical and cosmetic condition, and, w/ associated collectible memorabilia, would be an exceptional acquistion for the classic VW beetle enthusiast. The original MSRP was $2,249. NADA antique/collectible vehicle value is currently $10,800 (average retail) & $18,900 (high retail). It is currently valued/insured for $12,000 w/ a classic/antique vehicle insurance company.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
