1959 Vw Bug Volkswagen Beetle California Dry Solid Bug No Rot All Og Pans,heat on 2040-cars
Princeton Junction, New Jersey, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1959 Volkswagen Beetle. This is a super solid car that was originally from California. It even still has a service sticker in the driver's side door jamb from a service shop in California! This car has rust free, rot free original heater channels and floor pans in it. Save time and money not having to buy heater channels and pans, weld them in, and still never be as good as factory! The interior is all original down to the factory blue paint, with some worn out slip on seat covers covering the original vinyl seat covers and horsehair padding. Headliner is gone, and the majority of the carpet and rubber floor mats are gone, some remnants remain. The 36HP starts right up and runs like a sewing machine. Idles nice, with no exhaust leaks, taps, or knocks. Has a newer 6V battery. The entire fuel system has been flushed out, including the humpback fuel tank. The brake system has been completely overhauled using new wheel cylinders, master cylinders, shoes and hardware. The original split case transaxle has some issues with 1st gear and reverse. You can forcefully get it into gear, but there is certainly an issue. I am told this is very common with these early split case transaxles. I can include an additional transaxle from a 1958 parts car, but it's condition is unknown. I was planning on having a later 60's transaxle rebuilt and put into the car. The car is not very driveable, but bolt-on parts are the easy part with these old VW's. The car is sitting on 4 Coker Tire brand wide white wall radial tires with good life in them. Has the original "H" apron in nice shape. The front apron has been replaced back in the day, as well as the hood - however it still retains a correct 4 tab hood. The front fenders were never replaced, but repaired with bondo and could use replacement, or just leave them alone if you're going after the patina look. The car is sprayed in white paint from years and years back and has weathered and worn over time. It's possible the original blue paint can be uncovered with hard work and determination, if not, this car is an excellent candidate for a repaint as it's so solid. Doors show no signs of rust or rot, nor do the rear quarter panels, decklid, etc. Roof shows no dents or dings, and the gutter channels are nice and straight. Has the original rear "dimpled" fenders with snowflake tail lights. I think the pictures do the talking for anything else I may have left out! Car has a clean and clear NJ title. Please contact me at any time at 917-533-2786 with any other questions you may have for this car. I am shipping friendly and will gladly work with you on shipping, or you can come to my house and pick her up! She rolls perfectly with a towbar. For sale locally and reserve the right to end auction if the right cash buyer shows up! |

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
VW readying CC Shooting Brake?
Mon, 11 Feb 2013This was bound to happen. Volkswagen's relentless drive for big volume has the brand mining seemingly every niche it can find for additional sales worldwide. And with its CLS Shooting Brake, fellow countryman Mercedes-Benz has already shown that a wagon based off of a "four-door coupe" can look dead sexy and command extra dollars. So it follows that the Volkswagen CC (whose existence is all but directly attributable to the success of the original CLS sedan) will also get a load-lugging variant. That's according to the UK's Autocar, which notes that the five-door will come in the CC's next generation.
According to the report, the next CC will be available in front and all-wheel drive variants with the usual assortment of gas and diesel four-cylinders found in the Wolfsburg empire, with the possibility of a gas plug-in hybrid model, too. The rakish estate will ride atop VW's MQB architecture, a shorter variant of which is also found underneath the new Golf. The scalable chassis is set to spread like kudzu throughout the company's lineup, but the CC probably won't happen until after the launch of the next European-market Passat in 2015.
Will we get it in North America? Hard to say. Volkswagen sells the standard CC saloon here, but not in particularly large numbers, and when the company moved to a North American-specific Passat, it dumped the wagon variant. The traditional VW estate apparently continues to pick up sales momentum abroad, however, making the CC Shooting Brake a seemingly natural fit for buyers who still want the utility of a two-box form but can afford to sacrifice a bit of cargo room in the name of style.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
