1960 Vw Beetle- Runs And Drives And Stops!! on 2040-cars
New London, Connecticut, United States
We are selling a 1960 VW Beetle on consignment. Restoration has begun and is running, drivable and is not bad to look at either. Top is in good shape, body isn't bad, has a couple of dings on it from being stored inside with other classic cars. Has some rust on the undercarriage that doesn't effect how it rides, and looks like it is normal rust for this vintage VW. Pictures show the extent of the rust. She also needs a turn signal switch, when driving we always use hand signals which add to the charm of driving this old girl around. The interior has been replaced, the tires are good, the brakes are good all the way around, clutch is good, all the glass is intact. Not much wrong with this one, just needs to be finished up. We need to move it to make way for more work, the current owner is not in a position to invest any money into the car at this time. Timing is everything and right now its perfect time to take advantage of someone else being in a position that they need money and not a beauty like this cute little VW. Its a rare one, try to find a 1960 convertible.............. If you are reading this you probably are aware what these babies go for now so bid accordingly. If you have any questions or want more pictures feel free to email me or call our body shop at 860-442-4536 and ask for Steve, he will answer whatever questions you may have. If you are in a position to look at it here in CT feel free to come by at 64 Brainard Street, New London, CT 06320 I It is being sold as is and we expect payment within 3 days of bid closing. A PayPal deposit will be required at the end of the auction. Transportation is up to you, we will be glad to work with whoever you find to transport with logistics. |

VW teases GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo concept
Sun, Apr 12 2015Volkswagen was among the first to demonstrate its Vision for Gran Turismo with the GTI Roadster concept, last year. And now it's gearing up to release another one. Previewed in the video clip above and the images in the gallery below, the new GTI Supersport is once again conceptually based on the German automaker's iconic hot hatch. But instead of a roofless design rendered in red, this one has a fixed roof with pseudo NACA ducts and white bodywork, along with twin nostril air extractors in the hood, a giant carbon-fiber rear wing and diffuser, and large side vents. In short, it looks like it'll be awesome, and we'll likely see the full thing before too long – so watch this space.
VW considering single, cheaper li-ion cell for all plug-in vehicle batteries
Wed, Apr 22 2015Volkswagen is finding rapid success in the battery electric vehicle market; especially in Europe where the e-Golf is already the segment sales leader. Recent concepts like the C Coupe GTE, Sport Coupe GTE and Cross Coupe GTE suggest more plug-in hybrids from the company are on the way, too. To make future models more economical, the German automotive giant is considering switching to a standard design for its lithium-ion battery cells. Using standardized parts is a long-accepted principle in production because it leads to economies of scale, and a company can pass on the savings to buyers or pocket the money to boost profits. VW is aiming for a massive 66-percent drop in costs by switching to a unified design, according to Heinz-Jakob Neusser, the board member in charge of development, to Automotive News. While the cells would be uniform, they could be crafted into different modules to fit each specific model. VW currently buys cells from Panasonic and Samsung for various models, but under the new plan all of the automaker's brands would switch to a single one. "We have a clear understanding in the group of a common cell," Neusser said, according to Automotive News, without suggesting when a change might happen. VW also has a few months decide on a different future for its EVs. The automaker is reportedly considering whether to use sold-state lithium-ion batteries from a US-based supplier for upcoming models. The next-gen tech could potentially give a massive boost in range while also being fireproof.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
