OK! Here we have a 1962 vw bug I bought that I was going to restore but realized I do not have the time to do so I am going to offer it to someone else that is up to the challenge. To start off this is in deed a project but a very easy one. Ya I know that's what they all say??LOL.. Well this one is true. I bought this bug from a guy that did most of the hard work already. All brakes including wheel cylinders emergency cables steel lines and flex lines have been done. New front and rear apron were replaced and welded in. The bug is all original so yes it is a 6 volt system and is all numbers matching engine,body,pan, original radio that works and un cut dash,.pans are original and in good solid condition, Heater channels are excellent and some of the metal up where your feet go have been cut out and replacement panels are welded in. Engine runs great when I bought it 3 months ago. The interior is original including door panels and are in very nice clean condition they do not need to be replaced. I have all the windows and they are in great condition no cracks or chips. I am also including $1500 in brand new parts. I have every part needed and then some to complete this project.. The bug was appraised for $5000 back in 2012 and is included with the sale along with a lot of documention. I will also include a brand new tow bar so you can tow it home. The wheels were professionally powder coated and the tires are very good. There is so much to list that I cannot think of everything right now but if you have any questions please fell free to email or call me at (905)325-6716. The first of the picture shows the state it is in now. The other pictures at the bottom show what it looked like before the restoration was started and appraised at $5000.00. I did not do the work on it nor did I take it apart but it had to be done so it could get repainted. I have everything bagged and in boxes with some spares so you will be getting a lot of stuff. The front and rear bumpers are original and in very nice condition including chrome. again I know I am missing a lot here but if you have any questions please feel free to email or call or text this number (905)325-6716 thanks and good luck..A $500 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF END OF AUCTION BY PAY PAL!!

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
