1960 TYPE-1
VOLKSWAGON CONVERTIBLE BEETLE Due to loosing storage space and downsizing I have decided to sell my original, very rare 1960 Volkswagen Type-1 Beetle Convertible This Beetle convertible was a pan-off restoration three years ago. The previous owner (second owner of the car) described the car originally being owned by a military man stationed in Germany. During this restoration every effort was made in preserving this original German authenticity. Still retains original motor and transaxle with only 26,946 as stated on title. Only 19 miles added since full restoration. Runs and drives good. No smoke or oil leaks. All electrical items work, plus horn. Car was built originally with no radio. The clutch and brake parts are new. All seats, seat covers, and door panels are original, never replaced. The Beetle has a stunning Hartez cloth top, German weave oatmeal carpet, and Original example headliner, with original dome light in working condition. This car comes with a very special and rare Tonneau and boot cover. This original Tonneau cover locks in place and comes with two keys. These items are original and are missing a couple of snaps and show wear. Clutch, brakes, and tune-up parts etc. came from Wolfsburg West. Old chip in windshield at bottom passenger side has been repaired. Chrome around door glass and quarter window glass shows pitting. Vent wing glass chrome is beautiful. The included, original spare tire has never been used. Car comes with all original manuals and tool kit. This Beetle was not restored to be a show car, but instead to be an example of the originality and nostalgia of the beautiful antique VW bug convertible. For further information or questions on the Beetle please message me and I will provide my phone number. More photos can be made available upon request. Please see all photos and message with any questions prior to bidding. Local pick-up.

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
