1957 Ragtop Project Car with paint
Painted horizon blue by professional restoration shop several years ago but car sat and touchup is needed in spots, one bubble area just rear of drivers door is biggest and included in pictures, handful of paint nicks on rest of body, mostly on front nose and rear apron edges but overall body is in really nice shape
Body and fenders are very clean and straight otherwise
Roofline and ragtop area are very clean and straight
Dash is uncut and very clean
Beautiful 4 tab hood and W decklid, great doors and fenders, some surface rust under fenders and underside front and rear
Horizon blue looks like the original color too based on rear seat area
Bullet fenders and hella headlamps
New front and rear bumpers still in package, bumper mounts, some ragtop parts, aluminum rails, old ragtop with front and rear metal inserts, new brake parts, some brake lines and cables and all front and rear shocks in boxes new all go with car
Engine is 36 hp and was rebuilt by professional VW shop several years ago
Again, this was a professional resto that was started and then dropped, so motor was rebuilt and body was done and painted, then sat
I am not sure about whether transmission was rebuilt, so please assume it was not
Pans are definitely rusty and both sides should probably be replaced. There is a three inch round hole on the drivers side under the seat now where I pushed my hand through tonight which shows in the last picture and the drivers rear floor has small holes and is cracked, so the drivers side definitely needs replacement. The battery tray looks okay on passenger side, but if you are doing the drivers side, you might as well do both. It costs the same to ship two pans as it does to ship one. Anyway, figure on two new pans. In the rear package shelf area under the oval, there are two small holes in the rising floor the size of nickels. The bottom side of the car front and rear has surface rust from sitting outside for several years. The front wheels look 1957 era but rears do not. The tires are dry rotted and serve only to move the car around.
Heater channels need to be cleaned up on surface, but seem solid. I will not make any promises on the heater channels, though. I do not know enough about them or VW's. I am more than happy to send more pictures of any area you want to see. Please come to look at the car and inspect it in person.
No seats or steering wheel, no exterior door handles, no glass except for rear oval window glass, a few hardware pieces for ragtop, a few badges, three rear seats but not sure of years.
Body appears to be 1957 from decoding on Samba. Pan also appears to be 1957, but not the same number - this is not a matching numbers car. Also, if I decoded right, engine appears to be 1958 code

New Jersey title on body, but this is not a "numbers matching" car
I can send you the numbers upon request so you can look them up for yourself
This is a great project car for right guy and real hard to find on East Coast
My son and I just bought it last week as a father/son project, but unfortunately we have to admit we have no experience with these VW cars and are in over our heads. If you know VW's, this would make an excellent start on a 1957 ragtop, especially if you like horizon blue
This car must be sold, so please bid accordingly
Responsibility of the winner to arrange for transport. I would be glad to help load the car on transporter and cooperate with a shipper. No warranty or guarantees come with the vehicle-sold as is where is. The vehicle is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early.

Auction for first US VW e-Golf raises $41,400 for Global Green charity
Thu, Nov 6 2014Would having Jay Leno on hand have changed the outcome? That's what executives at Volkswagen might be asking after the German automaker auctioned off the company's first electric car in the US for around $6,000 over MSRP. VW auctioned off the first Volkswagen e-Golf in the US to raise money for the environmental non-profit Global Green USA. Bruce Oberg, an EV enthusiast and previous VW owner, proudly cut a $41,400 check for the car, which has a 116 miles per gallon-equivalent rating and is said to be able to go about 80 miles on a single charge. At your local dealer (depending on where you live), the e-Golf starts at $35,445. Sales start later this month in 11 states: California, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Oregon, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Washington, DC. The $6,000 premium for first-dib rights for the e-Golf is nice, but it doesn't compare to what BMW worked out this summer. In August, the first i8 plug-in hybrid in the US was auctioned off at California's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance for $825,000 (to an unidentified buyer). That's about six times the car's sticker price, but this special edition came with Louis Vuitton luggage and was presented by noted car buff Leno. VW's press release below. VOLKSWAGEN E-GOLF RAISES MONEY TO BENEFIT GLOBAL GREEN USA AFTER A SUCCESSFUL CHARITY AUCTION Nov 4, 2014 Winning bidder claims first VW electric vehicle as the car begins to ship to select U.S. dealerships Herndon, VA (November 4, 2014) – Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced that the auction of the first 2015 all-electric Volkswagen e-Golf has raised $41,400, with proceeds benefitting the national environmental non-profit Global Green USA and its efforts to advance smart solutions to climate change. The winner of the auction, which ran from October 8–29 on CharityBuzz.com, became the first U.S. driver to own Volkswagen's all-new, fully-electric vehicle. "Volkswagen's commitment to e-mobility and sustainability runs deep. We could not be more proud that the e-Golf has helped raise money to benefit the efforts of Global Green USA, an organization that shares in our dedication to the environment," said Michael Horn, president and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
