If you are a VW purist, stop reading now- this is not your car.
Nicknamed "Heinz 57", This classic VW Beetle convertible is titled as a 1959 as it was built on a 1959 chassis and running gear. The rest of the car is comprised of new parts, reproduction parts and parts from several other Beetle donor cars. 99% of the people who look at this car won't be able to tell...the remaining 1% will be stumped at car shows trying to figure out which part is from which year. That said it all hangs together well and is a fun runabout, around town car. I recently purchased two vintage Saab's and I'm getting set to put some of my classics in winter storage. I've decided to see if there's some interest in Heinz before he goes to winter hibernation. All of the restoration was done in South Carolina by the previous owner, a VW buff. I bought the car recently and discovered some needs. It just came out of the shop this week with over $2,400 in repairs (details below and I will provide the buyer with the receipt) so everything is all sorted for the new buyer. The car is 12 volt. The Beetle was painted during the restoration in 2007 and is cactus green metallic (02 Jeep color). The interior is all new and is best described as "salmon". Carpet is tan. Here's a brief overview on some of the parts and what vintage Beetle they were sourced from: Rebuilt engine from a 1972 Beetle (approx 3,000 miles driven since rebuild) All electrical is 1969 rear fenders are 1959 tail lights are 1965 (aftermarket) front fenders are 1965 front hood and deck lid and aprguageons are 1966-67 Seats are 1966 all door panels are 1969 convertible fuel tank is 1965 (external tank door removed before painting) steering column and ignition is 1959 New black canvas top with wood bows (no headliner), has a new off white boot cover (shown in photos) Speedo and fuel gauge is 1965 all new brakes and master cylinder (brake fluid tank is 1959 and located behind the spare) 1959 style radio antenna (aftermarket am/fm stereo with speakers underneath the rear bench seat) *as with many old Beetles, heater ducts have been disconnected underneath, pans all clean and coated with POR 15 *Repairs completed October 2013: oil changed with new oil screen complete tune-up and valves adjusted new ignition wires all new belts new king pins new short shifter and all bushings new heater hose new parking brake cable new fuel filter carburetor rebuilt with all new gaskets new rear brake drum new cv boot new ignitor ignition Nice set of aftermarket wheels with nearly new tires. The paint is a 7 out of 10 job- not perfect but very presentable. All glass is excellent. One of the rear window cranks is missing part of the handle. There is a 3-inch scratch on the top of the passenger front fender (see photo) that has been touched up. Runs great- drives straight down the highway. Always drives better with the top down for some reason. Beetles are very simple cars- the photos tell the rest of the story. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Unless agreed to in advance, the car must be picked up within 7 days of sale. Car and title not released until all funds are received. |

Are more diesel scandals about to erupt?
Fri, Nov 20 2015More automakers may soon be embroiled, like Volkswagen, in diesel emissions scandals. According to the Daily Kanban, either the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) or the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) will soon announce from 10 to 15 more cases of automakers cheating national diesel emissions rules. The outlet says three of the incidents are attributed to Opel. Studies conducted by the DUH, the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, Switzerland, and the UK's Leeds University found that Opel's diesel Zafira, Corsa, and Vectra models emit more NOx than European regulations allow when tested in ways that go beyond the European testing protocol, such as when done on a four-wheel rolling road instead of a two-wheel rolling road. Opel said the accusations had no merit. Specifically on the Zafira, the DUH asked Opel about the emissions findings, and Opel said that no General Motors software contains any measures to enable cheating. Opel then tested a Zafira of its own "both on a two- and a four-wheel roller dynamometer," finding that "The emission behavior determined in each case does not differ from one another." That makes this a case of he-said-she-said for the moment. The Daily Kanban's sources say the cheating methods "range from the crude to the highly sophisticated," with those at the latter end complex enough to render Volkswagen's methods "pedestrian." As for any automakers who might be named, the matter of real-world emissions exceeding a legal limit doesn't mean a carmaker has designed systems that cheat, it might mean the company designed the car to pass a test.

2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
Thu, Jan 29 2015Volkswagen calls its 2015 Jetta "refined, redesigned," and countless man-hours have gone into its re-engineering, but you'd need to crawl all over the car, unbolt most of the body, drive it or spend some time on VW's website to fathom the changes. That's why we wrote, "2015 Volkswagen Jetta is new, we promise," when we first saw the car in New York last April. While we wait for a sweeping next-generation overhaul to come, the marquee elements for now are the new structure underneath designed to win an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, fuel economy increases and a heavily reworked 2.0 TDI diesel engine. Plus, there's ornamental detailing around the body and updated interior, and the revamped trim package and accessories matrix promises to provide more value. That makes it a better buy than the 2014 model, assuming it can find buyers ready to appreciate the subtleties. Outside, improved aerodynamic prowess is the primary goal, and almost all of the visual refresh works to further that aim. A new grille with three cross fins sits atop a slipperier bumper and air intakes. On models with the 1.8T gas engine and new 2.0 TDI diesel, the grille is fitted with a shutter to decrease drag and, on the diesel, speed up the engine warming. There are sleeker rain gutters inside the A-pillars and paneling under the body by the rear axles. Attending to airflow in back is an altered decklid reshaped with an integrated spoiler. Among the other changes are optional adaptive bi-Xenon headlights lined with 15 LED running lights and a chrome strip of brightwork. New fog lights are set in the flanks of the lower lip, and LED taillights can be had on the GLI and Hybrid models, with a tweaked VW logo sitting in between. The illuminating upgrades continue inside with ambient lighting and a crisper dash cluster display. Those cabin changes are joined by an optional "tunnel" theme for the gauges, a new steering wheel design with piano black accents and chrome, redesigned vent controls and new fabric options. Changes to the front substructure from the bumper to the front doors, and strengthened A-pillars combined to win the 2015 sedan a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We're here to focus on the diesel model, and the updated EA288 2.0 TDI engine and its modular packaging is the most visceral highlight for 2015, inserting new numbers on every line of the spec sheet compared to its predecessor, save for cylinder bore spacing.
