Up for consideration is an Exceptional example of the classic icon the 63 VW Beetle Ragtop. This VW has been cared for by 3 adult VW enthusiasts over the last 51 years. What makes this VW Exceptional is the quality of the restoration undertaken over a 3 year period. The car was completed in 2009 by long time VW lovers & builders prior to my ownership. What these restorers accomplished was next to short of building an assembly line vehicle like that of the Wolfsburg Factory. Many make the claim" Rust Free" but if you know German cars of the 50's- 60's rust may not be evident until you see outward signs. This VW has had almost all it's structural sheet metal replaced with factory spares and spot welded professionally in place to look like the original. Zinc treated, epoxy primed and finish coated with Rhino truck bed liner ( tuff stuff) so won't Rust Ever Pan Off Restoration - Have Restoration Receipts for over 22k. Every Part on Vehicle Newer or rebuilt using mostly VW parts where available Complete mechanical & cosmetic refresh in 2013 by Exotic Car Shop Engine: Total rebuild to 1385 cc 52 hp Transaxle: rebuilt all with around 900mi. Safety: 3 point Seat Belts mounted in orig. factory anchors. Front disc brakes, New Firestone F560 Radial tires and New Vintage rims, Dual factory side mirrors I encourage and welcome all questions prior to auctions end. I reserve the right to end auction any time prior to reserve being met as car is advertised for sale else where. Vehicle is sold " As Is" condition with no warranty. Bid with confidence no disappointments, car looks better in person than the pictures. Seller 100% on e Bay since 2003 Shipping Costs are the responsibility of winning bidder. I can assist truck driver to load/keep garaged till pick up in a timely manor. Please bid to win- I've set a very fair reserve price. Would be a great addition to any collection. This car is built to drive, rally or show. Easily keeps up with modern traffic cruises quietly/ effortless at 65mph Easy to shift, stops on a dime. VW has been safety checked, all maintenance up to date Needs Nothing!!

On Aug-23-14 at 14:59:05 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTENTION: This car is being sold for far less than the cost of the Restoration. My loss your gain. Why settle for average when you can own a show stopper.. You can't lose your investment by purchasing this Beetle. That's because my Reserve is set low and you couldn't build for my low reserve price. It's like buying a classic car at wholesale pricing. My reserve is far less than the KBB value guide suggests for a car in this condition. I encourage you to please bid to own, you might just do!! so!

VW modular platform strategy goes all-in on EVs
Tue, Jan 7 2014The Volkswagen Group has already revealed or put on sale a broad slate of new electric vehicles: the E-up, the E-Golf (shown above), the Porsche 918 Spyder, the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the XL1. In 2014, there will be at least six more models, including the A3 Sportback E-Tron. And after that? Well, to hear Rudolf Krebs, Group Commissioner For Electric Vehicle Drive Systems, tell it, VW's future is full of plug-in goodness. "With our platform strategy, it is quite easy to bring a lot of electrified vehicles to the market for the different brands in a very short time," he said. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars" That strategy starts with three platforms: MQB for small cars, MLB for midsize models and MSB for sporty and premium products (there's also the NSF for cars like the E-up). Speaking to AutoblogGreen, Krebs said VW has designed modules, things like engines and electric components (think: AC compressor, on-board chargers and battery management systems), to be used across all three platforms and across all brands all. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars," he said. "This is only possible if, at an early stage of the design of new vehicles, we implement the idea that these cars are not only designed for gasoline and diesel powertrains but that we can also include CNG concepts, flex-fuel concepts, pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles. With minor changes in the body in white, we can produce those vehicles, bumper-to-bumper, in one factory." "VW wants to be the leader in the electrification of vehicles" In this way, customers can choose the powertrain that they want, or whatever powertrain their local regulations demand. Politicians have already put a lot of pressure on the automotive industry, with ever-stricter CO2 regulations coming into effect in all of the major markets. In the US, the fuel economy regulation numbers require the equivalent of 101 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer by 2025. Europe, it's 95 grams by 2020. And China, which is asking for 118 grams by 2020, will be a tough scenario, Krebs said. Today, by optimizing conventional technologies and supporting things like CNG and biofuels, more than 300 VW Group models emit less than 120 g/km. A hundred of those are even under 100 g/km. But this is not sufficient, and VW admits that conventional powertrains will not be not enough.
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.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
