OK! Here we have a 1962 vw bug I bought that I was going to restore but realized I do not have the time to do so I am going to offer it to someone else that is up to the challenge. To start off this is in deed a project but a very easy one. Ya I know that's what they all say??LOL.. Well this one is true. I bought this bug from a guy that did most of the hard work already. All brakes including wheel cylinders emergency cables steel lines and flex lines have been done. New front and rear apron were replaced and welded in. The bug is all original so yes it is a 6 volt system and is all numbers matching engine,body,pan, original radio that works and un cut dash,.pans are original and in good solid condition, Heater channels are excellent and some of the metal up where your feet go have been cut out and replacement panels are welded in. Engine runs great when I bought it 3 months ago. The interior is original including door panels and are in very nice clean condition they do not need to be replaced. I have all the windows and they are in great condition no cracks or chips. I am also including $1500 in brand new parts. I have every part needed and then some to complete this project.. The bug was appraised for $5000 back in 2012 and is included with the sale along with a lot of documention. I will also include a brand new tow bar so you can tow it home. The wheels were professionally powder coated and the tires are very good. There is so much to list that I cannot think of everything right now but if you have any questions please fell free to email or call me at (905)325-6716. The first of the picture shows the state it is in now. The other pictures at the bottom show what it looked like before the restoration was started and appraised at $5000.00. I did not do the work on it nor did I take it apart but it had to be done so it could get repainted. I have everything bagged and in boxes with some spares so you will be getting a lot of stuff. The front and rear bumpers are original and in very nice condition including chrome. again I know I am missing a lot here but if you have any questions please feel free to email or call or text this number (905)325-6716 thanks and good luck..A $500 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF END OF AUCTION BY PAY PAL!!

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.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
