You are bidding on a 1959 Volkswagen Beetle.  This is a super solid car that was originally from California. It even still has a service sticker in the driver's side door jamb from a service shop in California!

This car has rust free, rot free original heater channels and floor pans in it.  Save time and money not having to buy heater channels and pans, weld them in, and still never be as good as factory! 

The interior is all original down to the factory blue paint, with some worn out slip on seat covers covering the original vinyl seat covers and horsehair padding.  Headliner is gone, and the majority of the carpet and rubber floor mats are gone, some remnants remain. 

The 36HP starts right up and runs like a sewing machine.  Idles nice, with no exhaust leaks, taps, or knocks.  Has a newer 6V battery.

The entire fuel system has been flushed out, including the humpback fuel tank. 

The brake system has been completely overhauled using new wheel cylinders, master cylinders, shoes and hardware. 

The original split case transaxle has some issues with 1st gear and reverse.  You can forcefully get it into gear, but there is certainly an issue.  I am told this is very common with these early split case transaxles.  I can include an additional transaxle from a 1958 parts car, but it's condition is unknown.  I was planning on having a later 60's transaxle rebuilt and put into the car.  The car is not very driveable, but bolt-on parts are the easy part with these old VW's.  

The car is sitting on 4 Coker Tire brand wide white wall radial tires with good life in them.  

Has the original "H" apron in nice shape.

The front apron has been replaced back in the day, as well as the hood - however it still retains a correct 4 tab hood.  The front fenders were never replaced, but repaired with bondo and could use replacement, or just leave them alone if you're going after the patina look.  The car is sprayed in white paint from years and years back and has weathered and worn over time.  It's possible the original blue paint can be uncovered with hard work and determination, if not, this car is an excellent candidate for a repaint as it's so solid.  Doors show no signs of rust or rot, nor do the rear quarter panels, decklid, etc.  

Roof shows no dents or dings, and the gutter channels are nice and straight.  

Has the original rear "dimpled" fenders with snowflake tail lights.

I think the pictures do the talking for anything else I may have left out!


Car has a clean and clear NJ title.

Please contact me at any time at 917-533-2786 with any other questions you may have for this car.  

I am shipping friendly and will gladly work with you on shipping, or you can come to my house and pick her up!  She rolls perfectly with a towbar.
 For sale locally and reserve the right to end auction if the right cash buyer shows up!

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch

Mon, Jul 14 2014

Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.
