This is my 1956 Oval Window. I am the 2nd owner of this California Oval. The original owner was my mom's best friend since childhood. I got the bug from her brother who stopped driving it in 83. I got the bug in rough shape. It was originally Diamond Green. It was hit 2 years ago in the left front quarter. I had the section replaced by A&B Restorations in Temple City. I used all original German metal. The paint job is not the best but looks good for a driver. I had the front beam replaced by Jim's VW in Monterey Park along with all new shocks, tie rods, steering, etc. Brakes are fine. New cylinders and master cylinder installed when I began driving it. Along with all new brake lines. He has done all the engine work, maintenance for me. The tires are new with less than 500 miles on them. The numbers match body and pan. I have used this as a daily driver for several years. It has a 36hp motor which I drive on the freeway at 65mph no problem at all. I have been averaging about 35mpg. Original transmission shifts great. Still 6Volt. I had the interior redone by Tito's Upholstery in Rosemead. Seats are in great shape and the cloth headliner is perfect. The pans are in good shape with the exception of directly under the driver seat. It needs to be replaced. There is a patch piece currently there but it needs to have the rusted part cut out and a new quarter pan welded in. I had this done on a 63 Bug I used to own and total cost parts and labor was about $140. All windows are original German glass except the front windshield. The passenger door still needs the rubber replaced which I have (from Wolfsburg West) and the luggage area and engine compartment need the rubber moulding (which I have) Thanks for looking. Clear title with CA yellow plates. More pics on request. This car drives great. This is one solid bug.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
