Vw Bug 63 Ragtop Deluxe on 2040-cars
Fort Myers, Florida, United States
|
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!

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
VW readying two-row CUV concept for Detroit
Wed, Dec 10 2014We're likely getting yet another glimpse of Volkswagen's future crossover at the upcoming 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January. According to Automotive News, two anonymous sources within the automaker indicate a CUV concept will be shown there. The concept is said to be a five-passenger preview of the brand's future seven-seat model. Previous versions of the crossover have carried the name CrossBlue (pictured above), but there was no indication whether or not that would continue. The original three-row concept debuted at the 2013 auto show in Detroit, and VW followed it up with the CrossBlue Coupe Concept in Shanghai later that year. In early 2014, the company announced the CUV would go into production sometime in 2016, along with plans to invest $7 billion in North America over the next five years. During the summer, the automaker made things even more official when it declared plans to invest $900 million to build a 538,000-square-foot expansion into its Chattanooga, TN, factory to assemble the new model. Production of the crossover was slated to begin by the end of 2016, at the time. According to Automotive News, even more changes in VW's CUV lineup are on the way. The Tiguan is reportedly getting an update next year that could be joined by coupe and long-wheelbase variants, as well.
2015 Volkswagen Touareg [w/video]
Fri, Dec 5 2014The second-generation Volkswagen Touareg has been in production since 2010, and is therefore staring down the last part of its model cycle. To keep buyers interested, the company has undertaken a refresh of its upscale midsize SUV. As is typical of these things, the changes include some exterior and interior rejuvenation, as well as increased content levels and a slight uptick in price. The basics of the styling changes are pretty straightforward. The 2015 Touareg can be pretty easily spotted versus the outgoing model by way of its four-bar chrome grille, a cleaner headlight design, bigger VW badge and a completely new lower front clip. (I got one photo of the old and new models side-by-side for my Twitter followers before we rolled out on the drive.) There's also a thin strip of chrome that runs around the bodywork, standard LED taillights and a selection of three new wheel styles and five new paint colors. Inside, I found it harder to spot the changes, old to new. The Touareg's switchgear has been updated and there's a new frame for the infotainment display, but there's no piece that stands out and says "new model year!" Powertrains and mechanical bits all carryover from the 2014 Touareg, too. But there were a few functional changes to the vehicle, primarily in the new Driver's Assistance Package, for me to take note of as I took a lap of my favorite Ann Arbor, MI driving route. Drive Notes Let me start with the newest news then, the Driver Assistance pack. Volkswagen will sell you this suite of safety gear on either the mid-level Lux or the top-end Executive trims, for $2,500. The package included adaptive cruse cruise control, "Front Assist" for emergency braking situations, lane-keep assist and blind spot monitoring. If the contents of that package don't strike you as revolutionary, you're not alone. Some or all of the technologies that are new to the Touareg have been around other showrooms – and other VW family products – for quite a while. Still, they're nice to have as options. All of the driver assistance features that I was able to test worked as advertised, too. The adaptive cruise uses cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors, so it isn't likely to be impacted by inclement weather, which is nice. I also appreciate that the lane-keep assist (which offers the driver a haptic buzz to the steering wheel when straying out of the lane) can be turned off, or turned down in terms of intensity and reaction time.
