I am selling my beautiful 1957 Volkswagen
Bug. This car is absolutely pristine, it has undergone an extensive
restoration by a well known Volkswagen Guru, Mike Mathison.
He located this car in 1985 and spent 7 years restoring this bug from
top to bottom. He used many N.O.S. and hard to find German parts. He
finished the car in 1993. This is one of the finest examples of a 57
oval window and as near perfect as you will find anywhere. Everything was disassembled and stripped down
to bare metal then painted with the correct factory enamel paint: as
per factory spec. The paint job alone cost over $6500. Jack Bruck and Chip Knight are credited
for the paint and bodywork. The color is horizon blue. The overall
restoration is credited to Mike Mathison. Many N.O.S. parts Original Owners manuals from Germany and U.S. Perfect condition inside and out! **Another one of Mike Mathison's Volkswagen's, a 1952 green sedan sold on eBay (#140869568421) Nov. 2012 for about 40k. Both my 57 and his 52 are pictured on vwvortex.com with pictures and more of the history. If you goggle Mike Mathison Volkswagon you will find a link to vwvortex.com, Oct, 2012 with the pictures of the 52 green one that sold for 40k and the my 57 listed here.
I
have receipts for all the work I have had done to the car and also the
receipts from previous restoration. I also have certificate of
authenticity/options from Volkswagen. The car drives and shifts
nicely. The car is solid and well put together. You will be very
happy to own this rare piece of Volkswagen history! It will be a great
investment just like the early 356, 356-A Porsche's have become. If you
have any questions call Tom @ 941-737-3618. I am selling due to moving on to another car and it needs work unlike this one. Do not bid unless you are going to pay. No new bidders or zero feedback. I am selling the car as is, with no warranty or responsibility once the car has been paid for. Seller reserves the right to end auction early for any reason. A $1,000 deposit is due within 3 days of auction close. Buyer responsible for vehicle pick-up and delivery. |

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
