1957 Ragtop Project Car with paint
Painted horizon blue by professional restoration shop several years ago but car sat and touchup is needed in spots, one bubble area just rear of drivers door is biggest and included in pictures, handful of paint nicks on rest of body, mostly on front nose and rear apron edges but overall body is in really nice shape
Body and fenders are very clean and straight otherwise
Roofline and ragtop area are very clean and straight
Dash is uncut and very clean
Beautiful 4 tab hood and W decklid, great doors and fenders, some surface rust under fenders and underside front and rear
Horizon blue looks like the original color too based on rear seat area
Bullet fenders and hella headlamps
New front and rear bumpers still in package, bumper mounts, some ragtop parts, aluminum rails, old ragtop with front and rear metal inserts, new brake parts, some brake lines and cables and all front and rear shocks in boxes new all go with car
Engine is 36 hp and was rebuilt by professional VW shop several years ago
Again, this was a professional resto that was started and then dropped, so motor was rebuilt and body was done and painted, then sat
I am not sure about whether transmission was rebuilt, so please assume it was not
Pans are definitely rusty and both sides should probably be replaced. There is a three inch round hole on the drivers side under the seat now where I pushed my hand through tonight which shows in the last picture and the drivers rear floor has small holes and is cracked, so the drivers side definitely needs replacement. The battery tray looks okay on passenger side, but if you are doing the drivers side, you might as well do both. It costs the same to ship two pans as it does to ship one. Anyway, figure on two new pans. In the rear package shelf area under the oval, there are two small holes in the rising floor the size of nickels. The bottom side of the car front and rear has surface rust from sitting outside for several years. The front wheels look 1957 era but rears do not. The tires are dry rotted and serve only to move the car around.
Heater channels need to be cleaned up on surface, but seem solid. I will not make any promises on the heater channels, though. I do not know enough about them or VW's. I am more than happy to send more pictures of any area you want to see. Please come to look at the car and inspect it in person.
No seats or steering wheel, no exterior door handles, no glass except for rear oval window glass, a few hardware pieces for ragtop, a few badges, three rear seats but not sure of years.
Body appears to be 1957 from decoding on Samba. Pan also appears to be 1957, but not the same number - this is not a matching numbers car. Also, if I decoded right, engine appears to be 1958 code

New Jersey title on body, but this is not a "numbers matching" car
I can send you the numbers upon request so you can look them up for yourself
This is a great project car for right guy and real hard to find on East Coast
My son and I just bought it last week as a father/son project, but unfortunately we have to admit we have no experience with these VW cars and are in over our heads. If you know VW's, this would make an excellent start on a 1957 ragtop, especially if you like horizon blue
This car must be sold, so please bid accordingly
Responsibility of the winner to arrange for transport. I would be glad to help load the car on transporter and cooperate with a shipper. No warranty or guarantees come with the vehicle-sold as is where is. The vehicle is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
