Here is an Original 1962 VW Bug, owned by the same family since 1962. The original owner purchased the bug in West Germany brand new, he drove it to Italy where it was shipped to New York his place of residence at the time. In the late 1960's the bug was moved from New York to Santa Barbara,Ca, where she lived until now. The bug is mostly all original, one respray in the original color on the rear of the car. I guess when she was being moved from New York to Santa Barbara a lamp fell on the engine lid, it was repaired and repainted at the time. I have been polishing out the paint for the last week and it is shinning almost as new! She has some nicks and a couple of minor dents,but that's what gives her character for a 51 year old vw. The original 1200cc engine was rebuilt, converted to a 12 volt and bored out to a 1600cc using the original block, about 13 years ago according to the previous owner. She runs great and has a lot more pep then a 1200cc engine. The bug has never been in an accident, and you can tell by the front apron. The undercarriage looks great, just the usual rust in the battery tray. The interior is all original including the headliner which still looks great. The original blaupunkt radio is also there. All the electrical works, lights, turn signals, horn and etc..
She is an original bug that can be driven with her character or restore to be a show winner!!
Happy Bidding!!

Jay Leno takes a ride in Gabriel Iglesias' classic 1966 VW bus
Tue, Feb 3 2015We've seen Jay Leno driving all manner of vehicles, many of them epically fast. But few (this is side of his steamers, anyway) have been as slow – or quite as beautiful – as this classic 1966 Volkswagen Samba. While many of the vehicles featured on episodes of Jay Leno's Garage have actually been from Jay Leno's own garage, the former talk-show host has been known to feature some interesting rides from fellow comedians. A couple of weeks ago it was Adam Carolla's '68 Lamborghini Islero, and this vintage, pristine VW bus belongs to Gabriel Iglesias. It's in beautiful condition and is a sight to see, even if it has a little trouble making its way down the highway. Or starting up again after a quick snack break.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
