Vw Bug 63 Ragtop Deluxe on 2040-cars
Fort Myers, Florida, United States
|
Up for consideration is an Exceptional example of the classic icon the 63 VW Beetle Ragtop. This VW has been cared for by 3 adult VW enthusiasts over the last 51 years. What makes this VW Exceptional is the quality of the restoration undertaken over a 3 year period. The car was completed in 2009 by long time VW lovers & builders prior to my ownership. What these restorers accomplished was next to short of building an assembly line vehicle like that of the Wolfsburg Factory. Many make the claim" Rust Free" but if you know German cars of the 50's- 60's rust may not be evident until you see outward signs. This VW has had almost all it's structural sheet metal replaced with factory spares and spot welded professionally in place to look like the original. Zinc treated, epoxy primed and finish coated with Rhino truck bed liner ( tuff stuff) so won't Rust Ever Pan Off Restoration - Have Restoration Receipts for over 22k. Every Part on Vehicle Newer or rebuilt using mostly VW parts where available Complete mechanical & cosmetic refresh in 2013 by Exotic Car Shop Engine: Total rebuild to 1385 cc 52 hp Transaxle: rebuilt all with around 900mi. Safety: 3 point Seat Belts mounted in orig. factory anchors. Front disc brakes, New Firestone F560 Radial tires and New Vintage rims, Dual factory side mirrors I encourage and welcome all questions prior to auctions end. I reserve the right to end auction any time prior to reserve being met as car is advertised for sale else where. Vehicle is sold " As Is" condition with no warranty. Bid with confidence no disappointments, car looks better in person than the pictures. Seller 100% on e Bay since 2003 Shipping Costs are the responsibility of winning bidder. I can assist truck driver to load/keep garaged till pick up in a timely manor. Please bid to win- I've set a very fair reserve price. Would be a great addition to any collection. This car is built to drive, rally or show. Easily keeps up with modern traffic cruises quietly/ effortless at 65mph Easy to shift, stops on a dime. VW has been safety checked, all maintenance up to date Needs Nothing!!

On Aug-23-14 at 14:59:05 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTENTION: This car is being sold for far less than the cost of the Restoration. My loss your gain. Why settle for average when you can own a show stopper.. You can't lose your investment by purchasing this Beetle. That's because my Reserve is set low and you couldn't build for my low reserve price. It's like buying a classic car at wholesale pricing. My reserve is far less than the KBB value guide suggests for a car in this condition. I encourage you to please bid to own, you might just do!! so!

VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power
Thu, Feb 27 2014No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.
