I am selling my 1962 VW Ragtop Sunroof bug. This car is my pride and joy, and has been garage kept since the day I bought her. She is an original black plate California car, that I had shipped to Florida. I had wanted to lower the car, but she is to pretty and original to mess with. I have had the car for two years, and have placed less than 900 miles on the car. 


About the Car (The Good):
----------------------------------------
Original, number matching, pan, body, and engine 1962 bug
Solid Original Floor Pans (Undercoated)
Solid Heater Channels
Door close tight, with no sag, or rotting of the driver or passenger A-Post.
Electrical works
Original 6 Volt
Original, non grafted Rag Top, that opens and closes smoothly
New Rag on Ragtop
Original Color car, had one re spray years ago. 
Original Radio, 
Original Glove Box, 
Original Trunk Liner

Unmolested car

This car is a real Eye catcher, and head turner
Car runs solid
Shifts smooth through all four gears
Clutch does not pop out, 
No issues with the Syncro
Car runs like a champ
Brakes work well, with no pulling upon stopping

The Minor Issues:
----------------------------
-Paint re sprayed years ago, it is all in original color. The paint has some dings in it from wear and tear over the years. I never painted the car, because I like the character of the wear on the original color paint. 
-Needs new Window and Door Molding. (Never replaced, as I don't drive the car in the rain)
-Door Dent in the back Left Fender
-Floor pans were undercoated. Some people like this, I do not. The pans are all original with no rust threw. 
-Seats could used to be redone (I liked the character of them as well)


In closing, this is an amazing bug, and is and was my dream bug. I bought this car with the intentions of lowering it, but she is to original, and truly is a well preserved specimen. I could not bring myself to even remotely do anything un-stock to this car. 

This car would make an insane vehicle for a full restoration, or would and does make a great vehicle to keep untouched and 100% Original. 
I am in no need of selling this car, I just feel bad that she sits in my garage 99% of the time. I would like to see someone who loves, and appreciates original old bugs, be able to really enjoy this car and treat her as she deserves and needs to be treated.

Any questions or comments, please let me know. I can send videos or phots of anything you would like to see about the car upon request.

Thanks!

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Fortwo engine fires, Tesla finalist for Extole Advocacy and Customer Experience award

Thu, Dec 22 2016

NHTSA has launched a preliminary investigation into complaints of Smart Fortwo engine fires. So far, the agency has received eight complaints about the rear engine compartment catching fire in model year 2008 and 2009 Fortwos and quickly engulfing the car. Six of the fires occurred while driving and were preceded by a check engine light. "The safety of our customers is our primary concern, and we are cooperating with NHTSA in its inquiry," says parent company Mercedes-Benz. "We are not aware of any injuries related to this inquiry." Read more from Automotive News. Volkswagen will pay $1.6 billion (US) in Canada as part of a settlement of its diesel emissions scandal. The funds will be used to fix or buy back some 105,000 affected cars, compensate owners between $3,815 and $4,451 above the buyback price, and pay a $11.2 million civil fine. So far, VW has agreed to spend over $18 billion in North America in connection with its diesel emissions cheating, and is expected to settle on a resolution of its 3.0-liter diesel vehicles in the US soon.

The award recognizes companies that turn customers into brand advocates through referral programs. In Tesla's current program, customers who buy a car using a referral link get $1,000 off the price of their car, while referring owners are awarded prizes including a signed Powerwall 2 and invitations to unveiling events. Referring owners are also entered into a drawing to win a Model S or Model X. "With a disdain for paid advertising, Tesla Motors is leading the trend of reaching new customers through existing ones," says Extole. The other finalists are Hanna Andersson and Ulta Beauty.

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.

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show

Mon, Nov 17 2014

Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? – and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
