Professionally Appraised and Certified Classic 1965 Volkswagen Beetle. Official appraisal booklet/Certificate ($500 value) included in sale price. This VW Bug has been in my family since 1973. My parents purchased this vehicle in Hawaii while stationed with the US Navy in Pearl Harbor. It actually still has the Honolulu Towing sticker on the driver's side flip out window. After leaving the military my parents shipped this car back home to Queens New York. As a child this was our family car for a few years. In 1987 we took it off the road as we no longer needed it as a family vehicle (station wagons were the thing to drive). We stored the car in our garage until 1995 when my father decided to put it back on the road. We had it as a buzz around town car for a few years before it returned back into the garage in 1999. After sitting around for a few years my father decided to pay to have the car fully restored. In 2007/2008 my father brought the car to Steve's Foreign Car Repair in Rockville Centre New York. Steve stripped the car down completely and rebuilt it using all original parts as much as possible. The floor boards were fully replaced so you can see the extent that was taken to bring this car back to life. My father's goal was to take this car to VW shows etc. The car is in beautiful condition and just needs a little love. The front bumper has a small kink in it but can easily be popped out by a body shop. The only other thing that it needs is a spare tire and a new side mirror. I replaced the mirror with one that better suits my blind spots etc. As for the spare tire I don't need one as my Insurance policy has free road side assistance. I am the sole owner now and it's insured and registered in my name in Stamford CT. I drive it around on the weekends and keep it in my garage. The Classic Auto Insurance is a reasonable cost per year ($125.00) and it's very particular how the car can be used (cruising and shows, no more than 1,000 miles a year). I had the professional appraisal done 5/17/2011 as I needed to have the car valued in order to settle my father's estate. The appraisal valued it at $11,000.00 with an Insurance replacement of $11,750.00. I love the car but I think it would be better to see a true VW lover take ownership of her. I'm moving and having garage space going forward is going to be a challenge. It would be nice to see the next owner keep her in their family for another 40 years!

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
