1958 Diamond Grey Ragtop Matching Numbers w/VW Birth Certificate

I am reluctantly selling my Beautiful Patina 1958 Ragtop Beetle. As always, I hate selling old VW's(great ones are getting too hard to find).

This '58 OG ragtop has been lovingly cared for all of it's California raised lifetime. The car was kept by its original owner family until 2008( that's 50 years)! This car still has that wonderful old car smell that only a Vintage VW can offer. When you open the door, you know your getting into something very special! There is a record of one repaint way back in 1972 ( I have the receipt) along with the original receipt for new seat covers and headliner right after the paint job. The original seat upholstery is still under the newer seat covers. The installed covers from 1972 are one of a kind and match perfectly with the Awesome Patina from the 1972 paint job. You either love it or hate it!! Personally,I would never change it. There are a few very cool Period Vintage accessories installed inside including the "Extremely Rare Huls Seat Recliners (both front seats) and the matching Volmac Folding Shifter(very rare)!! I have many original maintenance records on this vehicle rating all the way back to 1960 and the car will come with the VW museum factory Birth Certificate which states that the currently installed engine is in fact the very same engine this car left with from the VW factory way back in 1958!

The Vehicles 3rd owner did a lot of work on this car including a rebuild and complete detailing of the original motor. The motor was built in 2012 and has very few miles on it since. The motor is rock solid reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. All the 6Volt electricals are in working order with all systems intact. Including working OG radio, Dome light, Accessory Underhood light, Fog light, Extra Accessory Rear Stop light, Etc., Etc. A ton of money was spent on the suspension to ensure an extremely smooth ride for such a low ride height. And I ensure you that the ride is incredible. The front end is a 6" narrowed Adjustable Old Speed Axle beam with CB Performance Wide 5 disc brakes kit and Nitrogen shocks, the rear has the Drop Plates installed for a smooth lowered ride out back. This is one of the best riding lowered VW's I have ever driven!! This car rides on fully chromed 15x4.5 and 15x5.5 Empi Fuchs style wheels mounted on brand new premium tires. 135r15 Firestones up front and 205/65r15 Continentals out back.

Well, I'm sure there is a ton more I forgot to mention. So just give me a call if you have questions. Charlie (562)413-1383

I'm very reluctant to sell the car as I know cars like this are getting increasingly harder to find. This '58 Ragtop is a very special car with a lovely patina (that you cannot create without time). The cosmetics are NOT showcar quality but if you love cars with awesome Patina and "Real Character" that are rock solid reliable and totally useable, than this is the car and you'll love it!! Oh, and I forgot to mention it has no rust (pan is incredible too!). It's a California Car, remember?

*** A few notes.....The Roof Rack is Not Included in the sale. The car will come with it's original San Diego Motor Imports Lic Frame (NOT the Lakewood motors frame) Also I will re-install the yellow fog light that came with the car when I purchased it.

This car will be SOLD AS-IS!! No warranty expressed or implied. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if the vehicle is no longer available.

Please, Please, ask any and all questions prior to making any bids. I will answers all questions if you call or email me. If you call and I cannot answer, I will get back to you ASAP.

A few people have asked about the Motor. For those very familar, you already know. The engine in the car is original to the car. It is a 36HPengine. The trans is the original "crashbox trans" also. The car is NOT fast but will keep up with freeway speeds and will go all day at 65mph if neceesary. It starts up everytime and it's a BLAST to drive!!

I am not disclosing the RESERVE. Please bid the most you are willing to pay and bid often as you want(LOL).

Thanks for looking at my auction.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
