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.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
