Up for your bidding consideration is a VERY clean 1957 VW oval window beetle. The body & pan have matching numbers, and are rust free. I bought the car out of California a couple of years ago, and based on what the previous owner told me, the body & paint, along with the interior was done about 10 years ago. The paint is starting to show it's age a little, but still has great shine, perfect for a driver. Below is a list of what this car has.
Turbocharged 1915 engine, running 9 lbs of boost. Can run on 91 octane pump gas, but runs AWESOME on 110 octane!
Car Craft turbo header
Turbosmart waste gate
Weber 40 side draft carb
Full MSD ignition system with 6 BTM module
Autometer Tach, boost & oil pressure gauges
Full flow oiling with doghouse & external oil cooler with electric fan, and system one oil filter, all braided stainless hoses
Electric fuel pump with boost controlled regulator, braided stainless hoses
12 Volt electrical with alternator & Optima red top battery
Rancho Pro street transaxle, Gene Berg shifter
4 wheel disc brakes with braided stainless lines
Narrowed & dropped front beam
Digital DEHNE repro fuel level gauge
Wolfsburg West seat belts
Polished Porsche alloys with like new tires all around
Car is solid, and a blast to drive! It flat out hauls A$$!
The winning bidder will also get the "W" deck lid with the car.
The only reason I am selling it is to put money into another project I have going.
The only issues this car has is a minor crack in the driver's side front fender, and in the hood, right below the prop, which is common for a bug of this age. The aluminum sideplate on the transaxle drips a few drops of gear oil, needs to be re-sealed.
I have described the car to the best of my ability, and as always, this is a used car that is over 50 years old, and will be sold in "as-is" codition, with no warranty expressed or implied. Thanks for looking, and PLEASE do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have...

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
