I’m selling my 1957 VW because I have bought too many cars and I need to thin out the herd. Insurance and registration is breaking my pocket book. This is what I know about the history of this car. It was restored in 1998 in Kingman Az. It was sold to a family in Costa Mesa Ca. It was next sold to a family in Huntington Beach who then moved to Sacramento Ca. The owner lost interest in it and that’s when I purchased it, that was 2010. When I got it, it didn’t run well and I discovered it had gotten water in the heads. I tore down the motor and inspected it. The lower end looked good so I put new pistons and liners, new valve springs and did a complete valve job and installed cromoly push rods. It runs great now. The pan has one rust spot, see pictures. It is located at the back of the pan on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel. Kind of an odd place, it almost looks like someone cut a square hole and water got in there and rusted the edges. It also has a hole by the battery where the positive battery cable shorted out and burnt a hole, see pictures, you can see the hole in the picture of the battery right above the fuse holder. Other than those two small issues the body and pan are solid. The paint is 16 years old and has many areas of cracking. It also has a few spots on the hood that need repaired, a ladder came off a construction truck driving down the road and landed on the car. It also hit the roof, that spot has been repaired. It also has VW hood syndrome were someone tried to close the hood without releasing the support. It’s not bad but it’s there. The headliner needs replaced, it was never installed properly. The carpet is worn, no holes but doesn’t stand up anymore. The upholstery looks good but is also 16 years old. The dash was welded up buy the previous owner and all new gauges installed. I just hooked up the speedometer last year so the mileage only shows 450. All gauges and lights work as they should. It has a small oil leak from the motor and a small oil leak from the transmission, just enough to be annoying. It has a Kenwood radio backed by a 300 watt Boston gt24 amp. Car is sold as is, buyer is responsible for shipping. Car is available for inspection. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking.

Recharge Wrap-up: Zero takes electric motorcycles to cop expos, Chevy Volt powers dealership's Internet

Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn told European regulators that more stringent emissions standards too soon will be a major problem for automakers. He says that such moves could prove "fatal" for an auto industry that is still working to develop cleaner vehicles. "Every gram of CO2 that we save in our European fleet costs our group almost 100 million euros," says Winterkorn, "100 million that we have to invest in advance, without knowing when these investments pay off." He says that already creating emissions targets beyond those set for 2020 could harm European automakers competing globally. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
