THIS LITTLE 1960 BUG HAS A HAPPY HAPPY HISTORY OF LOVE AND CARE. THE PAST OWNER OF THIS LOVELY CAR WAS ,LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER RESTORED A CLASSIC CAR , JUST PLAIN WENT OVERBOARD ON THE RESTORATION AS MANY DO. WE HAVE RECEIPTS FOR OVER 14,000 DOLLARS ON THE RESTORATION IN 2007, INCLUDING DRIVETRAIN,BODY, INTERIOR,UNDERCARRIAGE, WITH NO MONEY SPARED. I HAVE BEEN RESTORING CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND IN MY OPINION, FOR A 6 YEAR OLD RESTORATION , SHE IS PRETTY DARN SHARP!
IN MY OPINION, THE ONLY NEGATIVE IS THE PAINT,WHEN IT IS INDOORS, SHOW SOME DIRT IN IT IN VARIOUS PLACES. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN COLOR SANDED OR BUFFED SO PROBABLY YOU COULD ELIMATE 90% OF THIS. NOW UNDERSTAND THAT I AM TRYING TO BE AS CRITICAL AS I CAN AS NOT TO MISREPESENT THE CAR. IF YOU WERE NOT AN EXTREME COLLECTOR, YOU WOULD NOT FAULT THE CAR ANY WAY. THE OVERALL APPEARANCE IS NICE. HAVE FOUND ABSOLUTLY NO RUST.
DRIVETRAIN IS PERFECT WITH RECIEPTS FOR OVER 4,000 DOLLARS SPENT MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. VERY NICE DETAILING UNDER HOOD!
INTERIOR IS EXTREMELY NICE. THE ONLY FLAW I CAN SEE IS THE HEADLINER HAS SOME VERY SLIGHT DISCOLORING IN THE BACK UNDER REAR WINDOW. NO IT IS NOT LEAKING. HAS RADIO DELETE PLATE.
UNDER CARRIAGE HAS ALL BEEN REPAIRED AND IS VERY RESPECTABLE. ALL SUSPENSION PART REPLACED. NO UNDERCOATING ,SO EVERYTHING IS VERY VISIBLE.
WE ARE SELLING THE WONDERFUL LITTLE CAR AT "no reserve" AND SOMEONE IS GOING TH GET A BARGIN! YOU CAN NOT TOUCH THIS RESTORATION FOR THE PRICE!!!!! WE ARE A TENNESSEE AUTO DEALER. IF CAR IS SOLD IN TENNESSEE WE ARE REQUIRED TO COLLECT THE SELLS TAX AND ADMIN. FEE AT TIME OF SALE. ANYONE OUT OF STATE CAN PAY THERE OWN TAX. SELLING PRICE WILL RECORDED ON TITLE. THIS CAR IS FOR SALE LOCAL AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. OF COURSE IF CAR HAS AUCTUAL MONEY ON TI AUCTION WILL CONINUE. WE DO NOT GUARRANTEE MILES AS THIS IS A RESTORATION CAR AND NO WAT TO PROVE IT.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Did Lexus make a BMW? Or did BMW make a Lexus? This and other 2017 surprises
Fri, Dec 29 2017It's that time of year again. The calendar is about to reach its end, Star Trek Cats 2018 is about to take its place, and I'm reflecting about all the cars that graced my driveway this year or summoned me to exotic places. You know, like Stuttgart or Phoenix. In 2017, I drove at least 57, and as I perused the list of them, I started to notice a common refrain: "This car surprised me." Most were pleasant surprises, but there were a few head scratchers and facepalms for good measure. In both cases, it was generally the result of car companies seemingly trying to break out of an existing mold. Nowhere was that more apparent than the pair of Lexuses slathered in Infrared paint: The LS 500 that left me this week and the LC 500 that was my favorite car of 2017. Though Lexus has been trying to shake its crusty, gold-packaged reputation for some time now, its efforts always seemed like an old man choosing Hollister to redo his wardrobe after realizing it hasn't been updated since 1987. I fell in love with the LC, genuinely floored by its near-perfect take on the GT. It's characterful in sound, appearance and tactility. It was at home in the city, in the mountain and on the open road. It was both comfortable and thrilling, and after driving the mechanically related LS 500, I can report that the LC's talents aren't an outlier. The LS 500's turbo V6 may make different noises than the LC's naturally aspirated V8, but it nevertheless invigorates the cabin when the car is placed in Sport+ mode. The steering is truly communicative, body motions are kept in miraculous check, and I absolutely forgot I was in an enormous luxury limo ... and a Lexus one at that. It was everything that the BMW 530e was not. I drove that on the exact same roads and was utterly bored the entire time. Generally doughy, lifeless steering, more distant than Planet 9. And no, the plug-in hybrid powertrain had nothing to do with that. At least it shouldn't. The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid I also drove this year proves that, as do the Hyundai Ioniqs, which are surprisingly adept and fun little cars regardless of what powers their wheels (Hyundai + hybrid = fun really blew me away). I would drive that Lexus LS F Sport over the BMW 5 Series any day of the week, which seems like a shocking thing to say in relation to either car. While Lexus is seemingly breaking out of its old crusty mold, BMW seems to be climbing into one.
Volkswagen Caddy gets the Alltrack treatment for Frankfurt
Sun, Sep 13 2015We've seen Alltrack versions of the VW Golf and Passat. The German automaker's commercial vehicles division has even done a concept version of the Multivan with a similar treatment. And now it's taking that same rugged off-road approach with the Caddy van. The new Caddy Alltrack starts off with the latest, fourth-generation city van revealed earlier this year in Geneva, and beefs it up to replace the previous Cross Caddy. That comes down principally to black trim on the wheel arches, side sills, bumpers, and underbody protection with metallic accents. It also packs unique 17-inch alloys, fog lights, chrome trim on the grille, silver roof rails, a new optional beige metallic paint (pictured), and Alltrack logos galore. The interior has similarly been worked over with unique trim. Though no mention has been made of any suspension upgrades, the Caddy Alltrack can be specified with 4Motion all-wheel drive. Prospective buyers (in markets where VW offers its commercial vehicles line) will also have to choose between passenger and panel van body-styles, and between four diesel and three gasoline engine options. They range in output from 74 to 123 horsepower and come mated to manual or dual-clutch transmissions with five, six, or seven gears. Look for the new Caddy Alltrack to highlight the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles display at the Frankfurt Motor Show opening later this week. Related Video: The new Caddy – now available as Alltrack version with off-road styling - World premiere of Cross Caddy successor at IAA 2015 - Fourth generation of the Volkswagen best-seller once again available in rugged off-road style - Passenger car and panel van Alltrack variants optionally available with 4MOTION Hannover/Frankfurt, 10 September 2015 – Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will be showcasing the latest off-road style version of its best-selling Caddy at the IAA (International Automobile Show) from 15 to 27 September, 2015. The successor to the Cross Caddy is called the Caddy Alltrack. Like its predecessor, it is available both in passenger car and panel van formats. The latest version of the urban delivery van and family MPV is clearly distinct from the other Caddy models with its exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels 'Quito', new Mojave Beige metallic paintwork and optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive technology.
