This beetle is a work in progress, but is well worth restoring. I ordered a Beetle "Birth Certificate" from the VW museum in Germany to get more information about this car. The original color was tan with white rims and brown interior. According to the document, the car was not built for export, and the delivery location was in Germany. From what I can piece together, it looks like the car was ordered by a US troop stationed in Germany and brought back to the states.

A restoration has been done on the car once before, so I am not sure which parts were original when I got it, but it had German style blade bumpers and still has a very interesting column mounted ignition switch that none of the local beetle guys had ever seen before. The last owner mounted a second ignition switch since he didn't have the key for the original.

I drove the car for a couple years while I was in college and in the process put a brand new transaxle in it. The previous owner put a single port 1600cc engine in it, so I do not have the original 1300cc for it. The 1600cc seized up, and is disassembled at the moment.

The car is currently garage kept to keep the deterioration to a minimum. The floor pans and heater channels rusted out on me after a couple rough winters. I have removed the driver side floor pan and heater channel and also a section of quarter panel. I bolted a piece of angle iron in place to keep the door spacing correct.

The car comes with replacement heater channels, a quarter panel patch, and a front door pillar patch.

The transaxle in the car has only 400-500 miles on it.

Feel free to ask any questions.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
