1967 VW Bug Convertible This volkswagen has what appears to be the original Savannah Beige paint job from the factory (except for the front driver's side fender) and it still looks nice considering the age. It has the original owner's manual, tool bag, and jack. The two sets of keys are original and open the doors as well as the trunk lock. I have a clear AZ title, and it runs well.
It was in garaged storage for 25 years from 1982 until I purchased in 2007. It was owned by a NASA engineer for the majority of its life. (I can share more details if you like.)
The clutch, tires, brakes [all new drums, shoes, master cylinder, lines], fuel lines, carburetor, fuel pump, engine electrical components have been replaced. The seats were reupholstered with Wolfsburg West components to make it a fun driver. I drive it to work frequently (50 miles round trip) when it is nice out.
The original engine and 4 speed manual transmission run well. I can keep up with traffic at 70mph. The heater works and the heater channels are in good shape. The horn, blinkers, reverse lights, brake lights, speedometer, hazard lights all work. The windows are all roll up and down. The brakes work well (nearly every component in the brake system was replaced.)
The top needs to be repaired as the original top was cracked and in need of repair (the frame moves up and down, but needs front bow repaired, headliner, & top...I estimate ~$3k to repair the top.)
I keep it covered and only drive it when there is no chance of rain. The floorboard needs repair on the backseat floorboard (please see pictures.) The original AM "All Transistor" radio does not work, but the dashboard has not been butchered.
This car is nothing but fun. I get constant compliments on it. It was given 2nd place in class at the 2011 Phoenix Bugorama. The car (1 of 7,597 convertibles made in 1967) is in mostly original condition. I have a "birth certificate" from VW that I can provide you if you would like. This is a good car to enjoy as-is or to restore to perfection.
Please take a look at the pictures in the link below that show the car when it was found in a garage, the work done to it, many close ups pictures, and how it looks today.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less 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.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
