Thanks for checking out my ad! I'm the second owner of this mostly original, stock, vintage, California,1964 Bug. You can use it as a daily driver or drive her just on the weekends and to the car shows as I have been doing. She's not perfect but she's pretty darn close! Be prepared to get compliments and questions from those that see her.

The original floor pan is solid and has zero rust. She starts every time and drives smoothly and with plenty of power. I installed a newly rebuilt 1600 dual port engine and I've put less than 4000 miles on it. It also has a new .009 distributor with electronic ignition, plus all new, carburetor, oil pump, oil cooler, dog house tins, and fuel pump. It's been converted to a 12 volt system with new starter, head light buckets and bulbs and a new 12 volt battery. She's got new tires, and the tranny, shocks and brakes are in excellent condition. My mechanic told me once that the heater isn't hooked up but since I never drive her when it's cold or raining I never bothered to do it.

To maintain that vintage style I left the 8-track player in the dash but it's not hooked up(it's a 6 volt). I put in a new 4-1/2" two-way speaker in the dash, an amp and plug for an Ipod ( Ipod is NOT INCLUDED ) to listen to while cruising. The interior is in overall excellent, clean condition (I'm a non-smoker). There are no tears or rips in the original seats or door panels. The original headliner does show some patina but is in tact. Carpets are original and still in great shape but just slightly on the thin side. The floor mats are new. I have put new VW rubber pads on the clutch and brake pedals.

The exterior paint does have some minor wear and chips but these aren't noticable (see photo) and only add to the patina. The luggage rack is included with the car as well as the mud flaps and the cheese grater on the exhaust pipes. The window scraper on the driver's door does need to be replaced (see photo) but all other rubber is in good condition. The winning bidder will also get a brand new pair of all steel 2-1/2" dropped spindles that I got from California Imports (a $100.00 value) and never got around to installing, also some new interior door handles and window cranks, and even a custom fit car-cover!!!

I hope you contact me if you have any questions and they will be gladly answered. The winning bidder is responsible for pick-up and or transportation after payment by cashier's check or money order is received and verified. Good luck and happy bidding!

I listed the engine as dual port but it is actually the more reliable single port engine. All the mechanics and electrical were done by Jim's VW Repair in Lodi, CA. I;m sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

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.

2015 Volkswagen Touareg [w/video]

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The second-generation Volkswagen Touareg has been in production since 2010, and is therefore staring down the last part of its model cycle. To keep buyers interested, the company has undertaken a refresh of its upscale midsize SUV. As is typical of these things, the changes include some exterior and interior rejuvenation, as well as increased content levels and a slight uptick in price. The basics of the styling changes are pretty straightforward. The 2015 Touareg can be pretty easily spotted versus the outgoing model by way of its four-bar chrome grille, a cleaner headlight design, bigger VW badge and a completely new lower front clip. (I got one photo of the old and new models side-by-side for my Twitter followers before we rolled out on the drive.) There's also a thin strip of chrome that runs around the bodywork, standard LED taillights and a selection of three new wheel styles and five new paint colors. Inside, I found it harder to spot the changes, old to new. The Touareg's switchgear has been updated and there's a new frame for the infotainment display, but there's no piece that stands out and says "new model year!" Powertrains and mechanical bits all carryover from the 2014 Touareg, too. But there were a few functional changes to the vehicle, primarily in the new Driver's Assistance Package, for me to take note of as I took a lap of my favorite Ann Arbor, MI driving route. Drive Notes Let me start with the newest news then, the Driver Assistance pack. Volkswagen will sell you this suite of safety gear on either the mid-level Lux or the top-end Executive trims, for $2,500. The package included adaptive cruse cruise control, "Front Assist" for emergency braking situations, lane-keep assist and blind spot monitoring. If the contents of that package don't strike you as revolutionary, you're not alone. Some or all of the technologies that are new to the Touareg have been around other showrooms – and other VW family products Â– for quite a while. Still, they're nice to have as options. All of the driver assistance features that I was able to test worked as advertised, too. The adaptive cruise uses cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors, so it isn't likely to be impacted by inclement weather, which is nice. I also appreciate that the lane-keep assist (which offers the driver a haptic buzz to the steering wheel when straying out of the lane) can be turned off, or turned down in terms of intensity and reaction time.
