Beautiful 1964 VW Bug. I bought this from a friend who had this since the late 1990s. Her husband surprised her with it for her birthday with a big bow. He bought it from the original or second owner (not sure) who also bought it for his wife and had it painted in approx 1996 in its original color VW Seeblau. I have a touch up applicator with the paint code. The guy who does my painting was able to find it in his computer and was surprised. I was going to have him paint the two areas on the drivers side fenders and touch up passenger door, hood and anywhere it was needed ( see pictures ) . There is no bondo on these areas but thick single stage paint. The dent in the rear is from a tree limb and the previous owner did not know how the front fender was damaged. I will let the new owner have these areas painted and will provide the applicator with the code.

The lady I bought it from believes it is the original engine and mileage at 65,000. I have had a VW Thing, several convertibles, hard top Bugs and several campers busses. This is the oldest and most original. The car has the original jack (needs cleaning) and tool kit and original books. The car spent most of its life in Colorado and the pan is excellent as is the rest of the body. The front spare holds air but should be replaced as it looks to be old. I just had a tire store put on 4 new white wall inserts or flappers. They are fake whitewalls made by Atlas and in my opinion look beautiful.

My VW mechanic did a compression test and it was very good. The car runs and shifts well. It has the original 6 volt system. The dash is beautiful with a removable radio cut out from the factory if you want a radio. I flushed the gas tank which was in very nice shape but had been sitting and added fresh gas. My mechanic did an oil change and removed and cleaned the carb and changed the fuel filter. Two weeks ago the fuel pump quit so I had a new fuel pump installed. Last week I had my mechanic change the oil, adjust the valves, and lubricate the throttle cable front and rear. He replaced the heater cable 3 weeks ago and the heat works really well for an older aircooled vehicle.

The interior and door panels are brand new (TMI) as is the rear carpet. The bottom back of each seat (rear) has loose material that separated from the plastic. I would just leave it but you could prabably hog ring it together. The headliner is presentable but shows wear and some staining (looks like over glue) The headliner has separated from the rear above the passenger window. There is a bamboo shelf that is brittle but can still be used. I would replace it. My mechanic was not sure the front headlights were original but they work and look great. The glass is all in great shape and most of the rubber around the windows is in good shape. The front firewall carpet shows wear around the edges and could be replaced. The wiper motor is frozen and might be repaired but I would replace it. They can be purchased for 35 - 100 dollars on the VW Samba site. I also saw one today for under $40.00 on EBAY.The interior side ceiling light is inoperative. The rims are aftermarket Porsche style and look great and the tires are in good condition. The car has a slight transmisson leak and my mechanic said it was from an area that used platic plugs. The car needed less than 1/2 pint on tranny fluid.

Someone always asks will this car make the drive to the east or west coasts. My answer would be maybe but I would not drive it that far and it is not very fast. I do fine at 5500 feet but you must use the gears. The brakes are very good and the master cyclinder was replaced.

I take very good care of all my vehicles. I do not want to trade and do not have a Buy It Now. Will not disclose reserve. This is a very nice example of a 1964 Bug.

Audi CEO's Dieselgate arrest threatens fragile truce among VW stakeholders

Tue, Jun 19 2018

FRANKFURT — The arrest and detention of Audi's chief executive forces Volkswagen Group's competing stakeholders to renegotiate the delicate balance of power that has helped keep Audi CEO Rupert Stadler in office. Volkswagen's directors are discussing how to run Audi, its most profitable division, following the arrest of the brand's long-time boss on Monday as part of Germany's investigations into the carmaker's emissions cheating scandal. The supervisory board of Audi, meanwhile, has suspended Stadler and appointed Dutchman Bram Schot as an interim replacement, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Schot joined the Volkswagen Group in 2011 after having worked as president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Italia. He has been Audi's board member for sales and marketing since last September. The discussions risk reigniting tensions among VW's controlling Piech and Porsche families, its powerful labor representatives and its home region of Lower Saxony. VW has insisted the development of illegal software, also known as "defeat devices," installed in millions of cars was the work of low-level employees, and that no management board members were involved. U.S. prosecutors have challenged this by indicting VW's former chief executive Martin Winterkorn. Stadler's arrest raises further questions. Audi and VW said on Monday that Stadler was presumed innocent unless proved otherwise. Munich prosecutors detained Stadler to prevent him from obstructing a probe into Audi's emissions cheating, they said on Monday. Stadler is being investigated for suspected fraud and false advertising. Here are the main factors deciding the fate of Audi. Background: Audi's role in Dieselgate Volkswagen Group was plunged into crisis in 2015 after U.S. regulators found Europe's biggest carmaker had equipped cars with software to cheat emissions tests on diesel engines. The technique of using software to detect a pollution test procedure, and to increase the effectiveness of emissions filters to mask pollution levels only during tests, was first developed at Audi. "In designing the defeat device, VW engineers borrowed the original concept of the dual-mode, emissions cycle-beating software from Audi," VW said in its plea agreement with U.S. authorities in January 2017, in which the company agreed to pay a $4.3 billion fine to reach a settlement with U.S. regulators.

South Korea to file criminal charges against VW exec

Wed, Jan 20 2016

South Korea has tossed out Volkswagen's recall plans and is preparing to level criminal charges over its handling of the diesel emissions catastrophe, The Wall Street Journal reports. "Recall plans the company submitted to us earlier this month were insufficient and lacked key information, and thus are unacceptable," the South Korean Ministry of Environment said in a statement obtained by the WSJ. A ministry official hinted at the possibility of criminal charges earlier this month if VW's recall plan wasn't satisfactory, the Yonhap News Agency reports, and now it looks like it will actually follow through. According to the WSJ, South Korea has already ordered VW to recall 125,000 vehicles and slapped the automaker with a $12.3 million fine – one of the many countries to do so Â– but if it follows through with criminal charges against the company or its employees, it'd be among the earliest to so. Other countries, including the United States, are still exploring the possibility of criminal charges. Charges would likely come against both Audi Volkswagen Korea and its managing director, Johannes Thammer. It's not clear what the actual charge would be, but the WSJ claims Thammer could be facing up to five years in prison and a fine of 30 million won (around $24,700 at today's rates). For its part, VW officials in South Korea maintains that it is "doing its utmost to resolve the emissions issue" and that it plans to "offer further explanation" to authorities regarding its proposal for an emissions and fuel mileage fix in that country.
