This fantastic car is an original 1960 Volkswagen Beetle! This is NOT a show car! This vehicle is an every day driver with plenty of dents and dings and character. It's one of the coolest cars ever! The car was originally purchased in Helena, Montana in 1960 and has spent the rest of it's life in the Rocky Mountains of Butte, Montana. I am the fourth owner of this 53 year old car and I drive it every day in the summer. Like me, she hates cold weather and pretty much refuses to go out in it! This car would be perfect for someone in a warm climate. The car is in original condition except for the tail lights, which were upgraded to include turn signals. Also, the man who owned the car before me installed a driver's seat belt. He intended for his teenage daughter to own the vehicle and he wanted to keep her safe, but she couldn't master driving a manual transmission. This is why the car only has one seat belt (lap belt only). I now have two small children and I don't feel like it's right for them to ride in a car with no seat belts. Even if it is really FUN and they LOVE it!! So it's time for this car to find a new home with someone who will love her as much as I do!
This vehicle is in original condition and has NOT been restored. It has normal wear and tear that you would find on a car that is driven every day and is 53 years old. The carpet is worn and torn in some places. There is a large dent in the right rear fender (see photo). One of the hub caps is missing. I have tried and tried to find another matching hub cap, but these are some kind of rare aftermarket VW SS hubcaps (see photo). They are virtually impossible to replace, so you would do well to just buy a set of four new hubcaps. Besides that, they are pretty rusty. The steering wheel has many cracks. The radio doesn't work, but is a super cool pull-out portable radio. It was designed to be taken out of the dash so you could bring your tunes to the beach or on a picnic. It has its own special key, that you insert into the radio to release it. You can see in the photo the hole where you would insert the key. There is an auxiliary gas heater for extra warmth in the winter. The heater is not hooked up as I only drive the car in nice weather. The seat coverings are cracked and the driver and passenger seats have big holes where the covering is missing all together. In the pictures I have one seat cover on the drivers side and a towel on the passenger side. Sorry. I meant to remove those before I took the photos. I can add a photo of the seats if you want to see it. The back seat has no holes or tears. Just the front ones. The headliner is discolored. Some of the fabric wall covering is torn and water damaged because the car has leaky seals. Also there are dents in the passenger side door from where the previous owner hit it with her other car's door every day while it was parked in the garage (door dings). These are evident in the pictures. There are two chips in windshield. Also, I replaced the original windshield wipers with new ones because I was going to drive to Helena one day and it looked like it was going to rain. The original wipers are in the glove box. The rubber was too old and hard to do any actual wiping, but I kept them thinking I could just replace the rubber. The car has its original VW Luggage Rack. These are really hard to find, too. The car is in good running condition and is driven every day. The vehicle's Owners Manual, Accessories Catalog, Service Booklet for Preventive Maintenance, and Distributors and Dealers in Canada, USA and Mexico Catalog are included.
Includes: Original VW Luggage Rack, New Battery, New Tires, Aux Gas Heater (not hooked up), Original Owners Manual, Original Accessories Catalog, Original Owners Manual for Le Chaperon Portabe Car Radio, Spare Tire, Aftermarket VW SS Hubcaps
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you would like to see any other photos, please ask and I will post them ASAP.
Buyer is responsible for pick up of the vehicle. I accept PayPal or Cashiers Check. Immediate payment or arrangement for payment by cashiers check is expected for Buy it Now; otherwise payment is expected within three days of the end of auction.
Thank you for looking at this awesome car!

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
