I am selling my beautiful 1957 Volkswagen
Bug. This car is absolutely pristine, it has undergone an extensive
restoration by a well known Volkswagen Guru, Mike Mathison.
He located this car in 1985 and spent 7 years restoring this bug from
top to bottom. He used many N.O.S. and hard to find German parts. He
finished the car in 1993. This is one of the finest examples of a 57
oval window and as near perfect as you will find anywhere. Everything was disassembled and stripped down
to bare metal then painted with the correct factory enamel paint: as
per factory spec. The paint job alone cost over $6500. Jack Bruck and Chip Knight are credited
for the paint and bodywork. The color is horizon blue. The overall
restoration is credited to Mike Mathison. Many N.O.S. parts Original Owners manuals from Germany and U.S. Perfect condition inside and out! **Another one of Mike Mathison's Volkswagen's, a 1952 green sedan sold on eBay (#140869568421) Nov. 2012 for about 40k. Both my 57 and his 52 are pictured on vwvortex.com with pictures and more of the history. If you goggle Mike Mathison Volkswagon you will find a link to vwvortex.com, Oct, 2012 with the pictures of the 52 green one that sold for 40k and the my 57 listed here.
I
have receipts for all the work I have had done to the car and also the
receipts from previous restoration. I also have certificate of
authenticity/options from Volkswagen. The car drives and shifts
nicely. The car is solid and well put together. You will be very
happy to own this rare piece of Volkswagen history! It will be a great
investment just like the early 356, 356-A Porsche's have become. If you
have any questions call Tom @ 941-737-3618. I am selling due to moving on to another car and it needs work unlike this one. Do not bid unless you are going to pay. No new bidders or zero feedback. I am selling the car as is, with no warranty or responsibility once the car has been paid for. Seller reserves the right to end auction early for any reason. A $1,000 deposit is due within 3 days of auction close. Buyer responsible for vehicle pick-up and delivery. |

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
