1961 Original Ragtop VW Bug: The Bug is completely done...... 

Up for sale is my 1961 VW Ragtop - Pan off Restoration. This project has taken me 1 1/2 years to complete. I have went trough everything on this bug from a fully powder coated pan to full custom interior.

Here is some of the highlights from this master piece: 

1961 matching numbers original ragtop 
3 STAGE paint - fully color sanded and buffed With 5 YEAR warranty 
Fully powder coated pan with all hardware replaced 
New 4" narrowed front end Fully powder coated

All new rubber 
New windshield 
There is nothing on this bug that is not show quality. 
There is a ton of things that I have not listed and a ton of things that I was not able to put in the pictures. The best way to see this car is in person to appreciate the true restoration and custom work. 

Let's put it this way, everything on this bug has been touched. The restoration is second to none. As you can see it has some California style but has retained the stock look. The vehicle could easily be turn back into a stock VW but this is the style that I like. I have a ton of pictures, receipts, birth certificate, paperwork documenting all of the stages of work. 

This is a serious vehicle, for serious people. I can guaranty, this is NOT the VW our parents drove back in the day LOL! 

Why am I selling it? - Because I am ready to do another project. (plain and simple) 
I want to do a vert. next. 

If you are truly interested in this car please call me and lets talk about it. I am not looking for the tire kickers or the folks that are just asking questions. I want the true enthusiasts to call for more info.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
