I am listing my 1964 vw bug. I am trying to finish another of my vehicles, bug this one is so darn clean and original, other than the 2" dropped spindles, and dropped in back. This would be perfect for driving as is, painting and restoring.... 
There is original brochures, showing the car they picked out new. Sold here in colorado brand new at mt. States vw. I have never had one this clean as far as damage or rust, as it is only starting to bubble on very lower corners, and very very small amount on 1 rear bumper mount, and a small touch inside rear wheel well as shown. It has never been hit, and all panels line up nice, doors shut like they should, as does hood and rear deck. Twist handle locks down deck lid, and inside hood release works, and shuts tight with a finger push. Nose is super nice where the tire sits, and bumper attaches. No rust, no hits. Pan is super clean, title matches front tag, and vin, and still retains its original 1200 engine, with 6 volts. Car has been painted at some time but just as a protectant, no body work done, as there are small dings on fenders still. Seats have cheap seat covers, as the original brown and tan striped seats are underneath, but in need of recovering. Headliner is nice, but needs repair around window. The radio does not work.
The headlights all work- high and low, turn signals, running lights, horn, dash lights all work, even interior Light comes on with either door. Just a nice un messed with 50 year old vw. Last of the small windows. The heater cranks on this, it is hot, and defroster works great!!! No smell with windows rolled up and heat on.. Clean heat. Still has some of its original tools in the nose. Gets lots of looks where it goes. 
The car runs great, fast idle works, and kicks down. Car is quite... Sounds like a vw. I was driving it yesterday, and ran perfect, down the highway at 55-65 no problem. I put about 80 miles on it with temp being about 85 out. It rides good to. The previous owner put the dropped spindles on the front, and lowered the rear also. I was going to put some brm wheels on it, and leave it alone. The doors still lock with its original key. Good color the panama beige. I have some paperwork from 1990 when it went in for some service and had 68,000 miles on it then. Just a nice un-hit almost 100% rust free early vw. This will be very hard to replace, or upgrade for the money...
It is colorado titled and insured in my name. Car will not be released until funds 100% clear my bank! cashiers check! or personal- either. Please don't show up with either prepared to take it, unless verified Wells Fargo check... Or of corse cash... The reserve on this will be under $5,000!!!! I will include a low buy it now, but once reserve is met, it will go away... Please ask any questions if you have any before bidding. If you have less than 10+ FEEDBACKS! you mugs email before bidding! or I may cancel your bid. These are getting very hard to find, rust free and unhit, and a 64 or earlier. 
I have tried to describe his as accurate as possible, not some 1 line description as a lot of cars listed.

I forgot to mention Also----- I have a new 6 volt battery recently installed, and car does have its spare, just took it out for nose photos....

The VW emissions carnage assessment with an upside

Mon, Sep 28 2015

Bombs cause destruction. Even if they're intelligently guided and pinpoint, there's always collateral damage. The strange Volkswagen brew, which is still spontaneously combusting in plain sight, will result in aftershocks for years. And the professional end of the corporation's top leadership will not be the only casualties. Blows are striking shareholder confidence, the residual value of the cars involved, consumer confidence, and the German economy itself. A hard rain's going to fall elsewhere, too. Here are just four damage assessment areas. The High-Compression Past and Low-Compassion Future of Diesels Despite European and especially German manufacturers' high belief that diesel engines were a way to light-duty automotive salvation, VW's scandal started the last nail in the fuel's coffin. Regulations both in the U.S. and in Europe for particulates and nitrogen oxide (NOx) are getting much harder to meet, and this is at the very core of VW's deception. Even with the high-cost exhaust after-treatment systems, sky-high fuel pressure, and sophisticated electronics, the inescapable NOx realities won't be washable by technology in an affordable way. German engineering pride will have to work a real miracle to meet these looming regs and the stain of VW's scandal did the whole diesel movement no favors. Perhaps not so ironically, the E.U. adopted more stringent emission standards this year, which closely mimic the U.S. Tier 2, Bin 5 figures phased in for 2008. Indeed, when VW announced it was able to meet the stringent US NOx emissions standards in 2009 for its diesel engines without urea injection as an exhaust after-treatment, it was a particularly high point of engineering pride for the company. No other manufacturer had figured out how to do so. One Honda official at the time remarked that they had simply no idea how VW was achieving this feat and Honda couldn't come close. Well, neither could VW. On a macro scale, European cities are also starting to face government fines for air quality violations. This is forcing those cities to find various ways to cut smog-related causes like tailpipe emissions. In fact, Paris has gone to the length of restricting car use on a sliding scale when smog persists, while electric cars are free to roam. France's longer and larger plan is banning diesel fuel for light-duty transportation entirely. But why was there a frothy focus by the European manufacturers on diesels in the first place?

Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.

Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
