You are bidding on a stunningly beautiful 1970 Classic VW Beetle. The odometer reads 56,435 and although one might assume it may have "rolled over," given the vehicle's 43 year existence -- the original California title reflected mileage not in excess of 56k, and that is what is now reported on the Massachusetts title. The carefully preserved and restored condition of the vehicle as well as the existence of the original factory engine in excellent running condition has led several experienced classic VW Beetle mechanics to theorize the stated odometer mileage may in fact not reflect a "roll over" of the reading. This vehicle was a California beetle (Los Angeles) shipped to Boston, MA in May, 2012. Numbers match (dash VIN & chassis VIN). A birth certificate from the German VW Auto Museum is included. The vehicle was built at the German factory on April 13, 1970 and left the factory on April 20, 1970 (shipped to the US). The engine (#B6-311-437) is the original engine from the factory and is in excellent running order. New coil, fuel filter, and other items too numerous to mention. The original factory color was L19K Yukon Yellow, but the former owner had the vehicle fully restored and repainted a beautiful burgundy. There are two very tiny dings in the driver door. There are no other dents or dings. One pan was replaced during the former owner's restoration. There is very little rust, having always been garaged. New tires & chrome VW wheel caps. New battery. The wheels are chrome with minor blemishes. Bumpers have very minor blemishes - no dings or dents. When restored, the former owner took liberty with the interior by replacing the factory black leatherette seating with velour cloth in a bucket seat style. A rare AM/FM stereo radio is one of the vehicle's options. It is currently connected only to the 1 dash speaker but a new owner could install additional speakers for true stereo sound. Also included is a very rare engine lid key lock. One key operates the ignition, both driver & passenger doors, as well as the engine lid. The black convertible top is in new condition and includes a new black boot cover when the top is down. All owners manuals are included. A number of collectible extras are included: several framed historic 1970 beetle ads from various magazines; the original 1970 VW beetle marketing brochure (18 pages); several books on the 1970 beetle, including a rare shop manual. A replica plastic model painted same burgundy color w/ black convertible, housed in a mirrored plastic display case is included. A black VW cap and a blue t-shirt w/ snoopy and tweety bird driving a red convertible beetle is also included. All-in-all, this vehicle is in very nice mechanical and cosmetic condition, and, w/ associated collectible memorabilia, would be an exceptional acquistion for the classic VW beetle enthusiast. The original MSRP was $2,249. NADA antique/collectible vehicle value is currently $10,800 (average retail) & $18,900 (high retail). It is currently valued/insured for $12,000 w/ a classic/antique vehicle insurance company. Review my 100% ebay seller rating and bid w/ confidence. $500 non-refundable deposit required via PayPal within 24 hours of end of listing (serious bidders/purchasers only). Remaining balance is due within 7 days by certified bank check drawn upon a U.S. bank or cash in person. Buyer is encouraged to arrange for mechanical and/or cosmetic inspection at his/her own cost.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
