Thanks for checking out my ad! I'm the second owner of this mostly original, stock, vintage, California,1964 Bug. You can use it as a daily driver or drive her just on the weekends and to the car shows as I have been doing. She's not perfect but she's pretty darn close! Be prepared to get compliments and questions from those that see her.

The original floor pan is solid and has zero rust. She starts every time and drives smoothly and with plenty of power. I installed a newly rebuilt 1600 dual port engine and I've put less than 4000 miles on it. It also has a new .009 distributor with electronic ignition, plus all new, carburetor, oil pump, oil cooler, dog house tins, and fuel pump. It's been converted to a 12 volt system with new starter, head light buckets and bulbs and a new 12 volt battery. She's got new tires, and the tranny, shocks and brakes are in excellent condition. My mechanic told me once that the heater isn't hooked up but since I never drive her when it's cold or raining I never bothered to do it.

To maintain that vintage style I left the 8-track player in the dash but it's not hooked up(it's a 6 volt). I put in a new 4-1/2" two-way speaker in the dash, an amp and plug for an Ipod ( Ipod is NOT INCLUDED ) to listen to while cruising. The interior is in overall excellent, clean condition (I'm a non-smoker). There are no tears or rips in the original seats or door panels. The original headliner does show some patina but is in tact. Carpets are original and still in great shape but just slightly on the thin side. The floor mats are new. I have put new VW rubber pads on the clutch and brake pedals.

The exterior paint does have some minor wear and chips but these aren't noticable (see photo) and only add to the patina. The luggage rack is included with the car as well as the mud flaps and the cheese grater on the exhaust pipes. The window scraper on the driver's door does need to be replaced (see photo) but all other rubber is in good condition. The winning bidder will also get a brand new pair of all steel 2-1/2" dropped spindles that I got from California Imports (a $100.00 value) and never got around to installing, also some new interior door handles and window cranks, and even a custom fit car-cover!!!

I hope you contact me if you have any questions and they will be gladly answered. The winning bidder is responsible for pick-up and or transportation after payment by cashier's check or money order is received and verified. Good luck and happy bidding!

I listed the engine as dual port but it is actually the more reliable single port engine. All the mechanics and electrical were done by Jim's VW Repair in Lodi, CA. I;m sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini

Mon, Dec 7 2015

If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 Â– aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
