Up for sale is a restored '64 Beetle. This is a very solid car that has had a meticulous and correct restoration. Evertything on the body was removed, prepped and painted, then re-assembled so there are no masking tape lines anywhere, just like when it was new. The paint (Ruby Red) is base coat/clear coat and is as nice as you will find anywhere. The car still retains it's original German glass (except windshied) with all new rubbers, weather stripping, moldings, door handles, hubcaps, hood & trunk handles, clips, etc. Everything on the car both electrically and mechanically work fine. The door locks, windows (including vent) THE HEATER, e-brake, turn signal cancel, horn, high/low beam, ALL FUNCTION PROPERLY. All the fluids have been changed including the transaxle and brake system. Nice firm brake pedal with no pulling when applied. Brand new BFG radials with 100% tread remaining. There are no shakes in the steering wheel and runs straight when you let go of the wheel. The exhaust has been replaced along with heater boxes. Valves have been adjusted, new ignition parts, new carb and fuel pump, automatic choke operates as it should and the car starts up immediately. The car was converted to 12V especially for that reason. Please look carefully at the pictures and notice the floor boards. The normal battery piece was replaced but was done right so you can't even tell from underneath. The Saphire radio works including the pre-sets. I took a picture of the engine while the valve covers were off so you can see that it is immaculate inside. It does not smoke or make any unusual noises. It has that typical VW sound.
Very nice original VW that still requires rolling down a window to easily close the doors. The headliner, rugs, seat cover, everything, inside the car shows well. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS with this one. I encourage you to come see the car (if possible) or send some one. Ask questions if you are not sure. The only dumb question is the one not asked!
I respectfully ask only Continental US bidders to bid, if your feedback is low, you must contact me first. Please make sure your funds are in order. Your deposit is non-refundable and must be through Paypal. Thank you for looking and best of luck.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
