1964 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE DELUXE, PURCHASED SEPT 09 1963. I HAVE HELPED MAINTAINED THIS CAR FOR FRANZI SCHMID FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. FRANZI PASSED AWAY 2 MONTHS AGO AT THE AGE OF 90 AND LEFT ME HER CAR IN HER ESTATE. I TRIED TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL TITLE BUT THE ESTATE REQUIRED IT IN MY NAME LAST WEEK. FRANZI KEPT EVERY BIT OF DOCUMENTATION ON THE CAR IMMAGINABLE INCLUDING A LITTLE BOOK ON HOW MUCH SHE SPENT ON GAS AND THE GALLONS. THERE IS A TON OF PAPER WORK THAT COMES WITH IT, A FEW OF THE DOCUMENTS WERE PUT IN THE PICTURES. ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR HAS BEEN DONE ACCORDING TO VW'S MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WITH ALL RECEIPTS.
THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT BUT THE FLORIDA SUN HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON THE PAINT THE PAST 50 YEARS. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW DENTS ON MOSTLY ON THE FENDERS. THE REAR RIGHT FENDER HAD SOME TERRIBLE BODY WORK DONE WHERE SOMEONE TOOK A HAMMER AND BEAT OUT A DENT. THERE ARE TOO MANY SCRATCHES TO DESCRIBE. RUSY IS MINIMAL THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME UNDER THE RUNNING BOARD RUBBER BUT IT HASN'T CHANGED IN 20 YEARS. THERE IS ONE VERY SMALL SPOT THROUGH ON THE ENGINE COVER THAT I FILLED IN WITH JB WELD. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY TOUCH UPS OR BONDO OR ANY SIGN OF AN ACCIDENT ON THE CAR. THE HEADLINER HAS MANY TEARS AND A FEW HOLES IN IT. SOME OF THE UPHOLSTERY HAS A FEW TEARS IN THE SEAMS BUT SEEMS TO HAVE HELD UP PRETTY WELL FOR 50 YEARS. ONE REASON IS BECAUSE THERE WERE SEAT COVERS. THE REAR AND DOOR PANELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LARGE BUBBLE IN IT. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD A LEAK SO I PUT 700MPH TAPE AND A COUPLE OF CLAMS ON IT QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO. ALL LIGHT WORK AS THEY SHOULD EXCEPT THE INTERIOR LIGHT ISN'T WORKING. HORN, W/WIPERS AND ALL LOCKS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. I PUT WATER AND AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS BUT THEY DIDN'T PUSH WATER OUT. I TRIED TAKING PICTURES OF EVERYTHING I HAVE LISTED INCLUDING WHERE THE BATTERY SAT TO SHOW CORROSION IS ALMOST COMPLETELY NON EXISTENT. THE BATTERY STRAP IS THERE BUT BROKEN. I TOOK A PICTURE INSIDE THE FRONT NOSE CLIP WHERE THE SPARE TIRE GOES TO SHOW NO DAMAGE THERE. COMES WITH THE 2 ORIGINAL SETS OF KEYS, TOOL KIT AND JACK. THE CAR SHOWS APPROX 191,500 MILES BUT DOES NOT SMOKING OR USE OIL. THE ENGINE HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED.
NEW ITEMS HAVE BEEN ADDED AS NEEDED OVER THE YEARS SUCH AS ALMOST NEW TIRES, CLUTCH, CARB, AXLE BOOTS AND QUITE A FEW OTHER THINGS I CAN'T THINK OF OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AGAINST MY JUDGMENT FRANZI TOOK THE CAR TO THE DAYTONA BEACH VW DEALER AND TOLD THEM TO GO COMPLETELY OVER THE CAR AND DO WHATEVER IT NEEDED WHICH CAME OUT TO ALMOST $1,300 DOLLARS NON OF WHICH INCLUDES THE WORK STATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PARAGRAPH. THIS CAR HAS COME FROM A NON SMOKING AND DRINKING FAMILY! :) THE CAR FEELS AND DRIVES JUST LIKE IT DID BACK IN THE DAY, IT DOESN'T FEEL LOOSE, STOPS AS DESIGNED AND ISN'T A RATTLE TRAP!
I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE CAR BUT I HAVE 10 OF MY OWN AND DON'T HAVE THE GARAGE SPACE IT DESERVES. IF YOUR IN THE DAYTONA BEACH AREA AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CAR YOU CAN CONTACT BRIAN AT 386-738-5113. BUYER HANDLES ALL SHIPPING BUT I AM HAPPY TO ASSIST IN LOADING IF NEEDED. THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, IT IS A 50 YEAR OLD CAR. NO, I WOULDN'T DRIVE IT TO CALIFORNIA! THANKS FOR LOOKING IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE MORE PICTURES PLEASE EMAIL ME.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.
