Up for auction is this 1967 California Black Plate Type III    VW  Fastback.   I purchased the car from and older lady, and her daughter.   I have never been much into VW’s but this one captured my attention.   On tight windy roads this car actually handles better than my 67 GTO.  These cars are not your average bug , as they are distinct.   I have found that even in her current condition some who are not familiar with Type III’s  become curious about them, as they are unique.   Type III's utilize a pancake motor and thus have two trunks.  One in the front and rear of the vehicle.   They were available in three models.   Squareback, Notchback and Fastback models.   This car is a running drivable car.   Her name is Heildigard (Hilldi for short).  She has some rust although is an overall solid car.  Floor pan patches are needed at drivers area near pedals and under battery  as far as I can tell,  also in areas shown in photos.   This is not the car to buy for your son or daughter to be driven as is.  She does need work.  It is a good project for the person with mechanical skills, or to be handed over to a repair specialist.  Hagertry Classic Car Insurance stated  the value of this particular model restored was  $17,000.   The brakes need attention to drive Hilldi as she is.   The car does run and drive as stated in the auction listing and comes with a carpet kit. We are not sure if the mileage is actual or exceeds the limits of the odometer,  No mileage noted on title (pink slip).  Please see odometer photo.  The car should be trailored, or trucked to her new home if your are the winning bidder.   The car is for sale with no warranty , where is.  Buyer has the sole responsibility for cost of transportation of the vehicle to her new home.   I will make myself available to coordinate with your  shipper  for pick up from its current  location.  I have described the vehicles condition to the best of my ability.  Please order your own inspection prior to bidding with ample time for review  prior to auctions end.    This is your chance to a special piece of automotive history.   Type III  VW’s are fuel efficient becoming  less  and less common.   Title in hand ready to singed over to the winning bidder.   If car is sold, and or shipped outside of the state of California license plates are not included as part of vehicle sale.  We reserve the right to end the auction at any time, as the car is for sale locally.    Bidding on Ebay is a legal agreement.   Non paying winning bidder(s) will be reported to Ebay.   Payment Instructions:  Winning bidder to pay deposit in the amount of  $200.00 through Pay Pal within 24 hours of auctions ending, with remaining balance to be paid in full  by cashiers check, money order  sent  via UPS, Fed-X  DHL with delivery signature required  within 10 days of auctions end, or complete transaction may be cancelled by seller and/or  vehicle re-listed.  Vehicle will only be released once funds have cleared our bank.  The vehicle is for sale to a number countries outside of the U.S.A.  

Thanks for looking.....Happy bidding …..

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
