I bought this car last September from the son of a lady who owned it since 1965. I do not know much about the car other than what I was told and the documents/numbers I've researched and found. I have had the car a short time but times have hit me pretty hard and now Im forced to sell my baby. Everything on this car works except the windshield wipers (needs new motor), I only drive it on sunny summer days so it has never been an issue for me. It resides in a climate controlled storage in Grand Junction, Co when not being driven.
PAINT:
The car is RUST FREE, not a spec, not even surface rust.
It has original paint according to the PO, no respray of the exterior or interior. I believe it has been resprayed under the front hood though. It has slight oxidization on the roof and hood (minor but I want to be thorough). The front hood has nic's in the paint from Colorado roads and scratches along the passenger side of the car. It still shines perfectly for its age of paint and the cool factor of originality.
Body/Chasis:
Original body panels (fenders/hoods/doors etc.), Original pans and heater channels (still look AMAZING too! ZERO signs of rust). Original engine, but was rebuilt during a nut and bolt restoration (hence the non-original color scheme).
Electrical:
Wiring was redone and upgraded to 12v and a new aircraft style fuse panel was used to keep the NOS-style look but still perform. The ORIGINAL factory radio still works and is actually the ONLY radio in the car. All lighting (ext and int) works, and so does the turn signal cancel!
Interior:
The interior of the car is in great shape with no holes in the seats, carpet, door panels or headliner. The highback seats were installed to give the 96 year old previous owner better support and they are not original to the car.
The nitty gritty:
I will not ship this car, but I will help the buyers shipper load the car safely. A deposit of $2000 will need to be made within 24hrs of auction ending with the residual being paid within 48hrs of auction end. I will hold the car in my storage for any buyer up to 1 week of the close of this auction but payment will still need to be made within the specified time frame. I've set a reserve at what is reasonable for a car of this calibur. I'm not looking to get rich on this beauty but Im not looking to give it away either. I have the car listed on multiple sites and locally..... If my number is met outside this auction I reserve the right to end the auction early. LOTS of photos, please ask questions prior to bidding.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?
Wed, Apr 1 2015There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte
Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
