!!!1955 VW "OVAL" BEETLE RUST FREE SURVIVOR!!!!

I am selling my 1955 VW Beetle. This is the "Oval" Model, meaning the back window shape is oval and small. The car is in mostly original condition and is totally rust free. I bought the car last year fully intending to keep it for the long haul but simply have neither the room or time to due it justice. To keep such a gem in storage would be wrong in my opinion, so I am offering it to some lucky collector or VW enthusiast. The previous owner had the car for 20 years and while he only put about 500 miles on it during that time, he did buy as many options as he possibly could, which makes it really interesting and unique. I could strip the options and probably get a couple thousand dollars for them alone, but will include them as long as the car meets reserve. The items in the roof rack are not included though.

I do not profess to be an expert but do know a fair amount about these cars and certainly know what these ovals are worth, so please do not try and low ball me. My inspection tells me that the engine, transmission etc., are all original to the car and the previous owner stated the same. I do not, however, swear by it, since I do not know how to check it but can give the interested party all pertinent numbers to trace, if they choose to. I also can not find any significant bondo anywhere, so assume that the body parts are also original to the car. Everything is steel with no fiberglass knock off parts.The floor pans are super solid and no hole at the battery either. Possibly they were replaced but the job was done so professionally that I can not tell. The black paint also appears to be original since I see no over spray anywhere and some fading apparent but shines up like new.

The little bug drives fantastic, like all properly tuned 36 HP motors do. Purrs like a sewing machine and with the brand new battery, it starts first try every time. Still 6 volt system, so unmolested in that regard. All glass is original except possibly the front windshield. The mohair head liner is definitely original and in great shape although a bit dark from age. Interior is all vinyl, which I believe was replaced back in the 60's but is in great shape with no rips or tears and no fading. Transmission shifts easily and brakes all work properly. Tires are like new and are wide white Atlas Radials with plenty of tread remaining. Chrome and stainless are all in very good condition, although the door handles are showing some age.

The interior has a set of rope trays below the steering wheel and above the visors for storage. The motorola radio works fine, as does the heat, blinkers, horn, wipers etc. Rare bug deflector on the hood actually does work! Although I have driven it sparingly, I did have it up to highway speeds with no problems to note. However, due to the age of the car and the fact it has been used very lightly for many many years, I would not advise a long drive to it's new home and would trailer it myself. Naturally the vehicle has no warranty and is sold as is.

Please note that Connecticut is a NON TITLE STATE. What this means is that no amount of pleading, plotting, crying, begging etc., can produce a title. All vehicles over 25 years of age are sold with a CT Bill of Sale and I can get it notarized if necessary. I have sold several vehicles over the years both in the US and over seas, with ZERO Problems, so do not let this scare you. I mention it upfront so there are no issues at the end of the sale. Please check with your local DMV and you will see they have no issues with the situation.

If you have less than 5 feedbacks please contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid. This is serious business and I have no time or patience with games. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in any way possible. For our international buyers, please have your shipping arrangements in place prior to bidding as I will not hold the car endlessly while you try and get it moved. I can hold the car for a reasonable amount of time with the vehicle paid in full if needed. Payment accepted will be certified/bank check or wire transfer. (Pay Pal is okay for deposit).

I have poor mind reading skills, so please ask questions and I will do my best to answer. I can also try and take additional pictures if you need but the vehicle is inside, so might be tight. Best of luck with this true gem. If you have been looking at them, you know what they go for. I would suspect that many of you have never seen one this old, so take a good look at the differences to the more modern ones and bid to win. My reserve is very fair as I am not looking to get rich, just trying to recover my investment, which will most likely leave you with a great price. Thanks for viewing my ad.

VW Group to split brands under four holding companies

Tue, Jun 16 2015

The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
