Mileage: 65,444
Trim: Coupe
Beautiful old 1964 VW Bug. I bought this from a friend who had this since the late 1990s. Her husband surprised her with it for her birthday with a big bow. He bought it from the original or second owner (not sure) who also bought it for his wife and had it painted in approx 1996 in its original color VW Seeblau. I have a touch up applicator with the paint code. The guy who does my painting was able to find it in his computer and was surprised. I was going to have him paint the two areas on the drivers side fenders ( see pictures ) . There is no bondo on these areas but thick single stage paint. The dent in the rear is from a tree limb and the previous owner did not know how the fron fender was damage. I will let the new owner have these areas painted and will provide the applicator with the code.
The lady I bought it from believes it is the original engine and mileage at 65,000. I have had a VW Thing, several convertible and hard top Bugs and several campers busses. This is the oldest and most original. The car has the original jack (needs cleaning) and tool kit and original books. The car spent most of its life in Colorado and the pan is excellent as is the rest of the body. The front spare holds air but should be replaced as it looks to be old. The car came with 4 white wall flappers. They are fake and two of them were removed. I have ordered 4 brand new ones (Atlas Brand) which I wil include with the car. They make the car look beautiful in my opinion.
My VW mechanic did a compression test and it was very good. The car runs and shifts well. IT has the original 6 volt system. The dash is beautiful with a removable radio cut out from the factory if you want a radio. I flushed the gas tank which was in very nice shape but had been sitting and added fresh gas. My mechanicdid and oil change and removed and cleaned the carb and changed fuel filter. I will have him change the oil, adjust the valves, and add new plugs. He replaced the heater cable and the heat works really well for an older aircooled vehicle.
The interior and door panels are brand new (TMI) as is the rear carpet. The headliner is presentable but shows wear and some staining (looks like over glue) The headline has separated from the rear above the passenger window. There is a bamboo shelf that is brittle but can still be used. I would replace it. My mechanic was not sure the front headlights were original but they work and look great. The glass is all in great shape and most of the rubber around the windows is in good shape. The front firewall carpet shows wear around the edges and could be repalced. The wiper motor is frozen and might be repaired but I would repalce it. They can be purchased for 35 - 100 dollars on the VW Samba site. The interior side ceiling light is inoperative. The rims are aftermarket Porsche style and look great and the tires are in good condition.
Someone always asks will this car make it to the east or west coasts. My answer would be maybe but I would not drive it that far and it is not very fast. I do fine at 5500 feet but you must use the gears. The brakes are very good and the master cyclinder was replaced.
I take very good care of all my vehicles. I do not want to trade and do not have a By It Now. Will not disclose reserve. This is a very nice example of a 1964 Bug.
** The passenger side mirror has cracked glass which I will repair. It is off the car. I will help with meeting your shipper if you win the auction. Shipping paid by buyer.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
