THIS LITTLE 1960 BUG HAS A HAPPY HAPPY HISTORY OF LOVE AND CARE. THE PAST OWNER OF THIS LOVELY CAR WAS ,LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER RESTORED A CLASSIC CAR , JUST PLAIN WENT OVERBOARD ON THE RESTORATION AS MANY DO. WE HAVE RECEIPTS FOR OVER 14,000 DOLLARS ON THE RESTORATION IN 2007, INCLUDING DRIVETRAIN,BODY, INTERIOR,UNDERCARRIAGE, WITH NO MONEY SPARED. I HAVE BEEN RESTORING CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND IN MY OPINION, FOR A 6 YEAR OLD RESTORATION , SHE IS PRETTY DARN SHARP!
IN MY OPINION, THE ONLY NEGATIVE IS THE PAINT,WHEN IT IS INDOORS, SHOW SOME DIRT IN IT IN VARIOUS PLACES. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN COLOR SANDED OR BUFFED SO PROBABLY YOU COULD ELIMATE 90% OF THIS. NOW UNDERSTAND THAT I AM TRYING TO BE AS CRITICAL AS I CAN AS NOT TO MISREPESENT THE CAR. IF YOU WERE NOT AN EXTREME COLLECTOR, YOU WOULD NOT FAULT THE CAR ANY WAY. THE OVERALL APPEARANCE IS NICE. HAVE FOUND ABSOLUTLY NO RUST.
DRIVETRAIN IS PERFECT WITH RECIEPTS FOR OVER 4,000 DOLLARS SPENT MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. VERY NICE DETAILING UNDER HOOD!
INTERIOR IS EXTREMELY NICE. THE ONLY FLAW I CAN SEE IS THE HEADLINER HAS SOME VERY SLIGHT DISCOLORING IN THE BACK UNDER REAR WINDOW. NO IT IS NOT LEAKING. HAS RADIO DELETE PLATE.
UNDER CARRIAGE HAS ALL BEEN REPAIRED AND IS VERY RESPECTABLE. ALL SUSPENSION PART REPLACED. NO UNDERCOATING ,SO EVERYTHING IS VERY VISIBLE.
WE ARE SELLING THE WONDERFUL LITTLE CAR AT "no reserve" AND SOMEONE IS GOING TH GET A BARGIN! YOU CAN NOT TOUCH THIS RESTORATION FOR THE PRICE!!!!! WE ARE A TENNESSEE AUTO DEALER. IF CAR IS SOLD IN TENNESSEE WE ARE REQUIRED TO COLLECT THE SELLS TAX AND ADMIN. FEE AT TIME OF SALE. ANYONE OUT OF STATE CAN PAY THERE OWN TAX. SELLING PRICE WILL RECORDED ON TITLE. THIS CAR IS FOR SALE LOCAL AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. OF COURSE IF CAR HAS AUCTUAL MONEY ON TI AUCTION WILL CONINUE. WE DO NOT GUARRANTEE MILES AS THIS IS A RESTORATION CAR AND NO WAT TO PROVE IT.

How VW's hyper-efficient XL1 will influence the next Golf
Mon, 18 Aug 2014In 2007, the European Union mandated fleet average CO2 emissions of 158.7 g/km. For 2015, that figure will drop to 130 g/km, and the target for 2020 is an ambitions 95 g/km. Thanks to some German politicking, that target will be phased in from 2020 to 2024, but it will still apply to 80 percent of passenger cars in that first year. In US miles per gallon, that's the equivalent of going from about 35 mpg to 42 mpg to 57 mpg. The current Volkswagen Golf is rated from 85 g/km of CO2 to 190 g/km depending on model - and zero for the e-Golf, so for the next-generation MkVIII hatch due in 2019, to meet the goal, Volkswagen engineers will need to introduce a bunch of new tricks. According to a report in Autocar, VW be mining its hyper-efficient XL1 for some of them.
Predictions for the next Golf include a variable-compression engine, an electric flywheel and an electric turbo, along with taking greater advantage of coasting. Volkswagen could be getting help from Audi with the electric turbo and variable-compression engine and electric turbo, with Audi already having shown off the former and brand technical boss Ulrich Hackenberg confirming the VW Group is working on the latter. It's possible the flywheel system could also have the mark of The Four Rings: Autocar mentions a British system that Volvo is testing, but the R18 e-tron Quattro racer has been using one for years.
The need for such features is because the company won't be able to net enough future gains from just aerodynamic improvements and advanced materials. As price will be a factor (the regulations are expected to "add hundreds of euros to the cost of building a car"), adding much more aluminum or carbon fiber is an unlikely option. We're told the next generation won't be longer or wider than the current car, and being Europe's most popular model, VW doesn't want to make a big bet on futuristic aero, but the report says the MkVIII will "likely" have "the most aerodynamic treatment yet seen on a production vehicle," the area where lessons learned from the XL1 will truly be seen.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
