PATINA at ITS BEST is an UNDERSTATEMENT!

FIRST time offered to the public is my JAW DROPPING ORIGINAL PAINT Turkis 1962 Ragtop PATINA MONSTER Bug still wearing its original black plates from the day it was purchased new in 1962. This bug gets more attention than you can possibly imagine! If you don’t like attention this is not the car for you. In all my years of being involved in Volkswagens, many have said this bug has the COOLEST patina and “look” they have ever seen, and I FULLY agree.

Let’s get started: I'm offering my 1962 Original paint Ragtop bug at NO RESERVE, high bidder wins. As many would agree original paint survivor cars are more appealing and sought after than your everyday restored bugs. This car has it all, a look that only Mother Nature and over 40+ years can create. It has an awesome running 1600cc single port with a mild cam, new custom exhaust, and complete servicing 500 miles ago, the engine has excellent compression and always starts right up. The transmission was recently rebuilt and works great as well. All the electrical works as it should, blinkers, lights, wipers, etc. It has all new brakes, new battery, new clutch, etc. Anything that needed to be performed to keep it maintained mechanically was done.

It has a 6" narrowed adjustable beam with NEW 4.5 Porsche Empi Wheels in the front with adapters along with NEW 165-60-15's in the front and NEW 5.5 Porsche Empi wheels in the rear with NEW 195-55-15's and Porsche 5x130 new rear drums in the rear along with an alignment so the bug goes down the road straight. The wheels are custom painted with black centers. I have over $2k in just the wheels, tires, and adapters alone! It has custom drop plates in the rear so it doesn’t wear out the rear tires. Being as low as it is, it actually rides pretty nice. If needed, I can raise the car back up to accommodate the shippers for an additional $150. In my opinion the stance is awesome!

The seats were redone a few years back and still look really nice. The carpet, door panels, and headliner are still intact and original and would need replacing to take the interior to the next level. However it never bothered me as it goes with the theme of the bug.

All the chrome and glass are in real nice shape for its age. It has the rare popout windows which is a nice accessory as well. Its really solid and cancer free. It has a patch in the passenger side of the floor pan and that’s it. Everything else on the car is solid. Of course it has some minor scuffs, chips and KILLER PATINA, to be expected for an unrestored vehicle of its age. It has NEVER been hit front or rear, no BS stories etc. The bug goes down the road straight and drives awesome! It has the rare popout windows which is a nice accessory as well.

This 1962 Ragtop bug can’t be replaced or duplicated for any amount of money. Its the real deal. No fake patina or bs stories. In my opinion, it has the BEST Patina on planet earth. I have a clear California title in hand.

Please don’t ask me for a buy it now or my lowest price. If you’re serious, I will entertain serious offers; lowballers will be ignored. I reserve the right to end the listing early for any reason at any time. Lastly, no trades please.

Overseas buyers are welcome to bid. I will do my best to assist the buyers in a smooth transaction throughout the entire process. Thank you, good luck and happy bidding.

Fri, Mar 24 2017

On this week's podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman are joined by special guest James Riswick, who has been driving a lot of new cars lately. All of them are discussed, plus a few more from Mike and David, and Mike rants a bit about a new VW Atlas commercial. The episode wraps up with the traditional doling out of Spend My Money buying advice, during which David briefly goes out into left field. (He's back now, don't worry.) The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?)

2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8

Mon, Dec 22 2014

If you want to be the first person on your block with Volkswagen's latest Golf R parked in your garage, you need to clear some time from your schedule on January 8. On that day, VW is opening the pre-order books for the first 500 Stateside examples of the new hot hatch, and they come with some neat accessories, too. Don't worry about specing just the right Golf R because all 500 early models are identical. In addition to the obvious 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 292 horsepower 280 pound-feet of torque and 4Motion all-wheel drive, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option here. Every one of these hot hatches comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with 19-inch wheels covered in summer performance tires. Based around the DCC and Nav trim, each of them also has VW's adaptive damper system, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, a Fender audio system, parking sensors and navigation. Beyond just being the first ones to own VW's latest hot hatch in the US, the deal for these 500 folks also includes a Volkswagen R watch, carbon fiber and stainless steel keychain and a certificate. All three items are serialized to match the VIN of the buyer's Golf R. The total price for each one of these 500 Golf R's is $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery. But potential buyers don't have to come up with all of that on January 8. They just need to visit VW's Golf R site and pay a $500 reservation fee to get in line, which goes toward the purchase of the car. The money is refundable for anyone who backs out, and any additional orders are put on a waiting list in case of any cancelations.
