PATINA at ITS BEST is an UNDERSTATEMENT!


FIRST time offered to the public is my JAW DROPPING ORIGINAL PAINT Turkis 1962 Ragtop PATINA MONSTER Bug still wearing its original black plates from the day it was purchased new in 1962. This bug gets more attention than you can possibly imagine! If you don’t like attention this is not the car for you. In all my years of being involved in Volkswagens, many have said this bug has the COOLEST patina and “look” they have ever seen, and I FULLY agree.

Let’s get started: I'm offering my 1962 Original paint Ragtop bug at NO RESERVE, high bidder wins. As many would agree original paint survivor cars are more appealing and sought after than your everyday restored bugs. This car has it all, a look that only Mother Nature and over 40+ years can create. It has an awesome running 1600cc single port with a mild cam, new custom exhaust, and complete servicing 500 miles ago, the engine has excellent compression and always starts right up. The transmission was recently rebuilt and works great as well. All the electrical works as it should, blinkers, lights, wipers, etc. It has all new brakes, new battery, new clutch, etc. it has added early snowflake taillights. Anything that needed to be performed to keep it maintained mechanically was done.

It has a 6" narrowed adjustable beam with NEW 4.5 Porsche Empi Wheels in the front with adapters along with NEW 165-60-15's in the front and NEW 5.5 Porsche Empi wheels in the rear with NEW 195-55-15's and Porsche 5x130 new rear drums in the rear along with an alignment so the bug goes down the road straight. The wheels are custom painted with black centers. I have over $2k in just the wheels, tires, and adapters alone! It has custom drop plates in the rear so it doesn’t wear out the rear tires. Being as low as it is, it actually rides pretty nice. If needed, I can raise the car back up to accommodate the shippers for an additional $150. In my opinion the stance is awesome!

The seats were redone a few years back and still look really nice. The carpet, door panels, and headliner are still intact and original and would need replacing to take the interior to the next level. However it never bothered me as it goes with the theme of the bug.

All the chrome and glass are in real nice shape for its age. It has the rare popout windows which is a nice accessory as well. Its really solid and cancer free. It has a patch in the passenger side of the floor pan and that’s it. Everything else on the car is solid. Of course it has some minor scuffs, chips and KILLER PATINA, to be expected for an unrestored vehicle of its age. It has NEVER been hit front or rear, no BS stories etc. The bug goes down the road straight and drives awesome! It has the rare popout windows which is a nice accessory as well.

This 1962 Ragtop bug can’t be replaced or duplicated for any amount of money. Its the real deal. No fake patina or bs stories. In my opinion, it has the BEST Patina on planet earth. I have a clear California title in hand.

Please don’t ask me for a buy it now or my lowest price. If you’re serious, I will entertain serious offers; lowballers will be ignored. I reserve the right to end the listing early for any reason at any time. Lastly, no trades please.

Overseas buyers are welcome to bid. I will do my best to assist the buyers in a smooth transaction throughout the entire process. Thank you, good luck and happy bidding.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.

VW launches special edition Touareg X

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.

VW and partner SAIC start building $2.5B Audi plant in China

Fri, Oct 19 2018

BEIJING — Volkswagen AG's China joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp has started building a $2.5 billion new energy vehicle (NEV) plant in Shanghai, which will make VW's luxury Audi brand cars, a possible first for the venture. The new plant is a key step for Audi to diversify production of its cars in the world's largest car market from its long-standing local partner, China FAW Group Corp. This shift has been delayed amid resistance from local dealers. SAIC Volkswagen said the new plant would have an annual capacity to make 300,000 cars and begin production from 2020. Audi sold 481,387 vehicles in China from January to September this year. The announcement comes the same week Tesla secured a Shanghai location for a Gigafactory battery plant to serve the Chinese market. Audi unveiled the plan to bolster ties with SAIC in late 2016. Earlier this year, the Germany luxury carmaker bought a 1 percent stake in the SAIC Volkswagen venture, paving the way for the joint venture to produce and sell Audi cars. Volkswagen currently gets a larger proportion of the proceeds from the 50-50 tie-up with SAIC than from its 40 percent stake in the venture with FAW. SAIC Volkswagen said in a statement on Friday the plant would cost 17 billion yuan ($2.5 billion) and would make VW and Skoda models as well as Audi cars. It will help VW tap China's fast-growing market for NEVs, a category comprising electric battery cars and plug-in electric hybrid vehicles.
