This fantastic car is an original 1960 Volkswagen Beetle! This is NOT a show car! This vehicle is an every day driver with plenty of dents and dings and character. It's one of the coolest cars ever! The car was originally purchased in Helena, Montana in 1960 and has spent the rest of it's life in the Rocky Mountains of Butte, Montana. I am the fourth owner of this 53 year old car and I drive it every day in the summer. Like me, she hates cold weather and pretty much refuses to go out in it! This car would be perfect for someone in a warm climate. The car is in original condition except for the tail lights, which were upgraded to include turn signals. Also, the man who owned the car before me installed a driver's seat belt. He intended for his teenage daughter to own the vehicle and he wanted to keep her safe, but she couldn't master driving a manual transmission. This is why the car only has one seat belt (lap belt only). I now have two small children and I don't feel like it's right for them to ride in a car with no seat belts. Even if it is really FUN and they LOVE it!! So it's time for this car to find a new home with someone who will love her as much as I do!
This vehicle is in original condition and has NOT been restored. It has normal wear and tear that you would find on a car that is driven every day and is 53 years old. The carpet is worn and torn in some places. There is a large dent in the right rear fender (see photo). One of the hub caps is missing. I have tried and tried to find another matching hub cap, but these are some kind of rare aftermarket VW SS hubcaps (see photo). They are virtually impossible to replace, so you would do well to just buy a set of four new hubcaps. Besides that, they are pretty rusty. The steering wheel has many cracks. The radio doesn't work, but is a super cool pull-out portable radio. It was designed to be taken out of the dash so you could bring your tunes to the beach or on a picnic. It has its own special key, that you insert into the radio to release it. You can see in the photo the hole where you would insert the key. There is an auxiliary gas heater for extra warmth in the winter. The heater is not hooked up as I only drive the car in nice weather. The seat coverings are cracked and the driver and passenger seats have big holes where the covering is missing all together. In the pictures I have one seat cover on the drivers side and a towel on the passenger side. Sorry. I meant to remove those before I took the photos. I can add a photo of the seats if you want to see it. The back seat has no holes or tears. Just the front ones. The headliner is discolored. Some of the fabric wall covering is torn and water damaged because the car has leaky seals. Also there are dents in the passenger side door from where the previous owner hit it with her other car's door every day while it was parked in the garage (door dings). These are evident in the pictures. There are two chips in windshield. Also, I replaced the original windshield wipers with new ones because I was going to drive to Helena one day and it looked like it was going to rain. The original wipers are in the glove box. The rubber was too old and hard to do any actual wiping, but I kept them thinking I could just replace the rubber. The car has its original VW Luggage Rack. These are really hard to find, too. The car is in good running condition and is driven every day. The vehicle's Owners Manual, Accessories Catalog, Service Booklet for Preventive Maintenance, and Distributors and Dealers in Canada, USA and Mexico Catalog are included.
Includes: Original VW Luggage Rack, New Battery, New Tires, Aux Gas Heater (not hooked up), Original Owners Manual, Original Accessories Catalog, Original Owners Manual for Le Chaperon Portabe Car Radio, Spare Tire, Aftermarket VW SS Hubcaps
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you would like to see any other photos, please ask and I will post them ASAP.
Buyer is responsible for pick up of the vehicle. I accept PayPal or Cashiers Check. Immediate payment or arrangement for payment by cashiers check is expected for Buy it Now; otherwise payment is expected within three days of the end of auction.
Thank you for looking at this awesome car!

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
