You are looking at a very unique 1968 VW Bug. The running gear has a stock 1600 dual port motor with a 4 speed transmission. The motor runs excellent and the transmission is tight and quiet. The suspension on the front beam has been lowered and narrowed, the rear has also been lowered. The front end has dropped spindles, new tie rods, and a new master cylinder.  The floor pan is in excellent shape, we repaired a couple of small holes, but there is no rust.

We selected this car because it still had it's original paint (dark green), and the body was nice and straight and didn’t have any damage. The door jams and the dash are still the original paint and look pretty presentable. We just finished painting the exterior of the car, using high quality multi-stage PPG urethane paint products. As you can see in the pictures we also painted and installed the custom fender skirts and visor.

This bug has a new front windshield, and new rubbers throughout. All the moldings are in excellent shape. The rear windows are the pop-out style, and have new moldings around them as well. The running boards are also new.  The door panels and rugs are in excellent shape. All the lights, wipers, horn and gauges work good. It has an older style radio, but isn’t hooked up.

 The headliner is new, and so are the seats. The 1966 bug style seats were professionally made from Mexican blankets at an upholstery shop, and look really stylish.    

The car is still fresh from its restoration, and runs, drives and rides excellent. The tires in the front are 135 R15 and the rear are 165 R15. The tires are in good shape, plenty of tread and no cracks, they are mounted on fresh two-tone painted stock 4-bolt wheels and hubcaps.

This nice old 68 Bug will shine a very long time and turn plenty of heads as it rolls down the street. This car could be driven anywhere. Thanks for looking at our auction!  If you have any questions send us a message or call 208-888-1240 (ask for Jack)

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
