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.

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!

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns 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.

Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
