1965 VW Squareback 4 speed manual transmission. Twin Solex carbs. The story with this car is that it was purchased new in Europe and brought back to the US with the original owner. It is fitted with a kilometers odometer. This car has been fitted with a replacement VIN tag on the door pillar by the Missouri Highway Patrol. It is NOT a salvage or rebuilt car. The Missouri title is clear and current.  Obviously the car has been repainted a pearl pink that is not original to the car. The repaint is comprehensive in the sense that the door jams and under the hood and all interior metal was painted as well. The headliner and all interior panels, seats and door panels were restored to compliment the paint. The car is fitted with  later model "high-back seats". We purchased the car from a customer of ours and proceeded to service the front end with new ball joints and an alignment service. We replaced the rear wheel cylinders and flushed the brake system. 4 new tires on wide 5 chrome wheels. The car was fitted with an aftermarket poor quality generator. We have installed a good original 12 volt VW Type III generator (with cooling hole) and new brushes. All the lights, signals and horn work as they should. The rear seat  folds down flat and and is fully functional. There are a couple patched spots in the floor (the battery tray is fixed and solid) and the floors have been undercoated. The rockers and wheels wells are all solid and aside from the two pics of the fenders the car is cosmetically and structurally rust free. This is good example of an older custom restoration. The car starts, idles and runs and drives well. There are not many solid Squarebacks left anymore and there are certainly not too many PINK ones. THIS CAR TURNS A LOT OF HEADS!!

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

VW teams up with legendary electronic musicians Kraftwerk for 3D Autobahn concert

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Electronic music fans know Kraftwerk. To paraphrase a famous TV anchor, they're kind of a big deal. The band is in the midst of an eight-concert show at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, which includes a full 3D accompaniment. Why, you ask, is this on Autoblog, then? Well, Volkswagen is sponsoring it, highlighting the role that its iconic Beetle played on the band's equally iconic fourth album, Autobahn. And besides, it's Friday afternoon, and who doesn't want to listen to the soothing synth notes of early EDM pioneers? Check out the featurette on the connection between VW and Kraftwerk, and then for giggles, scroll down and give the first track of Autobahn a listen. This content is hosted by a third party.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
