Up for sale is a restored '64 Beetle. This is a very solid car that has had a meticulous and correct restoration. Evertything on the body was removed, prepped and painted, then re-assembled so there are no masking tape lines anywhere, just like when it was new. The paint (Ruby Red) is base coat/clear coat and is as nice as you will find anywhere. The car still retains it's original German glass (except windshied) with all new rubbers, weather stripping, moldings, door handles, hubcaps, hood & trunk handles, clips, etc. Everything on the car both electrically and mechanically work fine. The door locks, windows (including vent) THE HEATER, e-brake, turn signal cancel, horn, high/low beam, ALL FUNCTION PROPERLY. All the fluids have been changed including the transaxle and brake system. Nice firm brake pedal with no pulling when applied. Brand new BFG radials with 100% tread remaining. There are no shakes in the steering wheel and runs straight when you let go of the wheel. The exhaust has been replaced along with heater boxes. Valves have been adjusted, new ignition parts, new carb and fuel pump, automatic choke operates as it should and the car starts up immediately. The car was converted to 12V especially for that reason. Please look carefully at the pictures and notice the floor boards. The normal battery piece was replaced but was done right so you can't even tell from underneath. The Saphire radio works including the pre-sets. I took a picture of the engine while the valve covers were off so you can see that it is immaculate inside. It does not smoke or make any unusual noises. It has that typical VW sound.
Very nice original VW that still requires rolling down a window to easily close the doors. The headliner, rugs, seat cover, everything, inside the car shows well. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS with this one. I encourage you to come see the car (if possible) or send some one. Ask questions if you are not sure. The only dumb question is the one not asked!
I respectfully ask only Continental US bidders to bid, if your feedback is low, you must contact me first. Please make sure your funds are in order. Your deposit is non-refundable and must be through Paypal. Thank you for looking and best of luck.

VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
