For sale is a partially restored 68 Bug convertible. Have two sets of new fenders, new bumpers, new running boards, several trim pieces. No motor, just the transmission, was going to buy a turn key motor and never got around to it. The interior was redone in white and one of the new side rails were welded in, have the other its just not installed. The floor pans were replaced also, great project car if you have the money and time, I have neither. have the convertible top frame also, will need the proper windshield, I ended up with the wrong one. check it out, has a very low reserve. No shipping on this item, pickup only.
On Jan-01-14 at 07:57:24 PST, seller added the following information: I wanted to add that the right rear quarter has been removed and a new one cut to fit from a standard beetle quarter panel that is included. The floor pans are direct replacements though discolored from not being painting, they are solid. There are no inner door panels, though all glass is there except for the windshield which I mentioned. As you can see in the pictures there are several items, seals, trim or body parts, running boards, fenders, its the just way I bought it over a year ago. The previous owner was having it restored and the project sat for a long time and some of the parts went missing including the motor. I am not a bug expert so I cant say 100% what it would need to complete, but the basics are there and when fully restored these little cars sell for a decent price. The parts are cheap and plentiful to acquire. good luck |

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
An inside look at VW's new California R&D center
Thu, 18 Oct 2012Less than two months ago, the Volkswagen Group opened a new facility in Oxnard, California (about an hour's drive west of Los Angeles). The $27 million investment, touted as Test Center California (TCC), serves as a research and development lab testing emissions for all brands under Volkswagen's umbrella, including its newest member, Porsche. While still not fully operational, we toured the new 64,000-square-foot building last week and had a first-hand opportunity to see just how much work is involved testing engines and meeting increasingly stringent government emissions standards.
Replacing a similar facility established in 1990 in Westlake Village (about 20-minutes east of the new location), our guide explained how Oxnard was chosen for its temperate climate, varied regional terrain for test drives and low altitude. (The area is only a few feet above sea level - a critical parameter when instrument testing emissions.) The new facility is capable of analyzing hundreds of vehicles, prototypes and customer-owned vehicles, annually.
Most interesting to us was the huge stainless steel climate chamber, with a massive four-wheel dynamometer that allows VW to test running vehicles in both scorching desert and freezing climates without ever leaving the building (an Audi Q7 was running in place during our visit). We were also mesmerized by the countless storage tanks and intricate plumbing of chemicals, stored in both liquid and gas states, needed to perform the variety of tests. Lastly, we took a look at Bugatti's service center on the west coast, located completely within the new center. While there were no supercars on site, the facility is equipped with plenty of spare forged wheels (mounted with expensive Michelin PAX tires) and a Veyron-specific repair jig that allows the vehicle to be completely disassembled, if needed. It is a shame that the facility, which set off all of our automotive geek alerts, is closed to the public.
