This pristine 1965 VW Beetle was recently purchased from the second owner. It's an original 63,000 rust-free car that was totally restored in 2001. It was purchased in 2005 to a man that gave the car to his wife for an anniversary present.

Here's where the story gets interesting. The car was driven to their home by the original owner and parked in their garage ant that's were it sat for nine years! Evidently the couple were having marriage issues and the car was intended as a reconciliation gesture that didn't work. It was driven a total of 80 miles from 2005- June 2014.

When I purchased the car I had a new 6 volt battery, all the wheel cylinders replaced, carburetor rebuilt, fuel lines replaced, fuel pump rebuilt, all tune up parts, gas tank removed and cleaned, new fuel tank sending unit, (4) new radial tires, and a professional detail.

When it was restores it was repainted the original Pearl White (#L87) and all of the rubber seals were replaced. All of the glass is original and stamped with the "VW" logos. It's obvious that all the glass was removed when the car was repainted and new seals installed. There is a new clutch kit, shocks, and all front end components. It still has all of the original floor panels and they are perfect.

The car was sold new by FOREIGN CARS OF BELMONT, INC. in Belmont Massachusetts. It was sold on July 29, 1965 for a total sum of $1646.05 The base price was $1593.00 and the dealer accessories included undercoating $25.00), 2 seat belts ($13,90), and outside mirror ($5.00). It still has the original engine (#9609292) and the original color combination that it left the factory with.

Included with this car are the original owner's manuals, service book, dealer directory, original sales invoice, tool kit which looks like it's never been used, jack, and original bias ply whitewall spare. It's all original including the 6 volt system.

I have put approximately 300 miles on the car in the past three weeks just to make sure it's ready for the new owner. It goes down the road as straight as an arrow and as smooth as silk. The transmission shifts smooth and the car starts right up as it should and all the lights, turn signals, brake lights, hi beams, and interior lights work properly. I would not hesitate to jump in the car and drive cross country! Did I mention that the heater boxes are all original and the heater and defroster work better than any VW I have ever owned.

The underneath of this car is as clean as the exterior. I would encourage a PPI to any serious bidder.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang Â– 204 points Hyundai Genesis Â– 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 Â– 297 points Chevrolet Colorado Â– 205 points Lincoln MKC Â– 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media Â– magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.

Recharge Wrap-up: AutoNation CEO calls anti-Tesla laws unnecessary, Common Pence donates subway money

Thu, Nov 13 2014

Volkswagen has presented a list of near-term technologies to improve fuel economy and decrease emissions. The list includes an addition to a coasting function in its stop-start system, a 10-speed DSG transmission and a more power-dense four-cylinder TDI engine. Volkswagen aims to be the world's most sustainable automaker by 2018 through electric mobility, improved design and increased environmental performance from internal combustion vehicles. Volkswagen also announced other technologies for increased interactivity and connectivity in its vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Commence Pence is a system that allows subway riders in London to donate their unused transit money to charity. People visiting the city often load up enough on their subway card (called Oyster Card) to get them through their trip and end up with unused funds leftover. Zander Whitehurst, a British designer, has created a device that can use the card's RFID to accept leftover funds, which then get diverted to charity rather than reverting back to the agency in charge of running the subway fare system. See the video below or read more at Wired. Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation has called Michigan's efforts to ban Tesla's direct sales in the state "unnecessary protectionism." The statement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it dissents from the majority of auto dealers who support a franchise model, as well as laws that forbid automakers selling directly to the consumer. "If Elon Musk wants to make a mistake and go with an inefficient distribution system, that's his right as an American," says Jackson, showing he feels he has little to fear from the electric automaker. Jackson has more to say on the matter, which you can read over at Green Car Reports. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
