1966 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE

This car lived its first 37 years in San Diego, CA, before being purchased in West Virginia.   It stayed in WVA for 8 years, then moved on to southern Ohio.  After it was bought in southern Ohio, it lived in Medina, Ohio, where I purchased in fall of 2012.  The car was rust-free and worthy of restoration, which took me 2 years to accomplish.   It was repainted with the original paint code L87, pearl white, single-stage.   It has the original seats, with new carpet kit installed.   Heater controls for defrost and floor working good.   Pulled the engine to repaint.   Replaced the clutch/throwout bearing and starter bushing as a preventative maintenance measure.   Six volt system was replace with a 12volt system.   Empi floor shifter installed.  The wiper motor worked when it was disassembled, but has not worked since being reassembled.  Aftermarket radio?  Have been looking for stock radio, but to no avail yet.  Waiting until spring (if I still have this) to fix wipers and radio issue.   Has never been driven in harsh weather.   Looks and drives as new.   Pictures were taken in garage.   Car is in storage, but I can take additional pictures if requested.

Buyer must contact me with 24 hours of auction's end..  $500 deposit due within 3 business days of listing's end to secure vehicle.  Arrangements to be made at this time to pay the remaining balance in full in 7 days of end of auction.   Cash (in person), certified check or bank transferred funds preferred.  Buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup.   Please call with questions before the end of the auction 330-417-6613.

A VW will help you keep control of your terrible children, apparently

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Not all kids are angels, and in fact some of them can be destructive little monsters at the worst of times. Parents know it, too. Volkswagen is playing on adults' fear of being publicly embarrassed by their progeny in an extremely clever ad, touting the long-distance driving range of the Passat TDI. Titled Mom, the spot is certainly one of the more creative sales pitches ever devised for a vehicle's fuel economy. The ad allows three little boys to go absolutely wild in a convenience store as a horrified cashier watches. Although, the commercial certainly raises the question: what mom would actually let her kids run around unattended while pumping gas?

Import pickup truck-killing Chicken Tax to be repealed?

Tue, Jun 30 2015

After over 50 years, the so-called Chicken Tax may finally be going the way of the dodo. Two pending trade deals with countries in the Pacific Rim and Europe potentially could open the US auto market up to imported trucks, if the measures pass. Although, it still might be a while before you can own that Volkswagen Amarok or Toyota Hilux, if ever. The 25-percent import tariff that the Chicken Tax imposes on foreign trucks essentially makes the things all but impossible to sell one profitably in the US, which lends a distinct advantage to domestic pickups. Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 counties and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union would finally end the charge. According to Automotive News though, don't expect new pickups to flood the market, at least not immediately. These deals might roll back the tariff gradually over time, and in the case of Japan, it could be as long as 25 years before fully free trade. Furthermore, Thailand, a major truck builder in Asia, isn't currently part of the deal, and any new models here would still need to meet safety and emissions rules, as well. Automotive News gauged the very early intentions of several automakers with foreign-built trucks, and they weren't necessarily champing at the bit to start imports. Toyota thinks the Hilux sits between the Tundra and Tacoma, and Mazda doesn't think the BT-50 fits its image here. Also, VW doesn't necessarily want to bring the Amarok over from Hannover. There is previous precedent for companies at least considering bringing in pickup trucks after the Chicken Tax's demise, though. The Pacific free trade deal could be done as soon as this fall, while the EU one is likely further out, according to Automotive News. Given enough time, the more accessible ports could allow some new trucks to enter the market.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese 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.
