1965 Deluxe US Spec Hardtop bug
The incredibly good parts of this car:
One owner car prior to me and I have the original pink slip from 1965.
44,300 documented original miles. Documented by service stickers and DMV registration tags that show dates and mileage.
Last registration stickers are 1991. No current registration and car is sold with the original title and bill of sale only.
98% original L87 Pearl White Paint with #87 Mesh Red Interior.
100% original almost-mint condition interior. This is by far the nicest original interior I have ever seen.
The Mesh Red upholstery is mint with no wear and tear and no splitting seams.
Mint original sunvisors, interior mirror, headliner, rubber floor mats, battery cover, tarboards, carpet kit, and door panels. Some of these pieces look NOS and just installed but have been on the car since new.
Gearshift and e-brake handle in original L469 Anthracite paint.
Original rims are a date coded matched set to the car in original two tone paint L41 Black and L87 Pearl white.
Spare rim and tire is original and in un-restored condition.
Both original black and yellow California license plates.
Two "Carl Carleson - San Francisco" license plate frames where this bug was purchased from. Rear frame is original to the car. I replaced the broken front one with a spare that I had.
Engine #9522318 is dated correctly and it appears to have never been removed from the car. I'm assuming this because of the low miles but cannot 100% guarantee it without the Birth Certificate.
Original tool kit to match the Mesh Red interior.
Original 12/64 owners manual that came with the car since new.
Original luggage strap that mounts to the back of the rear seat.
100% of the glass is correct and original to the car.
The door windows roll up and down like a new car.
Hubcaps are original to the car and are in extremely nice shape.
Original jack, wiring cover and cardboard liner are in very nice shape.
Original matching red Wolfsburg logo'd seatbelts.
Original brown running board mats.
Original VW 101 drivers side mirror with Tinted Glass. Very cool original mirror.
See the pictures of under the wiring cover. Fuse box, speedo, switches, all look NOS but they are all original and perfect just the way it is supposed to be!!
Since the car had been in long term storage it needed a few things to make it running and driving: New master cylinder, soft lines, and wheel cylinders were installed. Gas tank flushed and cleaned, fuel line inside tunnel flushed and cleaned, and the carb and fuel pump disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled. This car starts on the first crank and then stops on a dime to pick it up. And new 6v battery that fits under the original metal battery cover.
Steering is amazing and the car still drives like it was brand new.
There is the typical road grime under the car and it could use a good cleaning. Inside of the fender wells are dirty but the new owner can spend the time to fully detail this area.
Parts that make this car not 100% perfect:
The left edge of the drivers side of the rubber mat is slightly worn and cracking from age.
Carpet around the heater channel on the drivers side is worn and the original owner put duct tape on it to protect......
Due to a minor accident in it's past; part of the drivers rear fender and bumper mount and surrounding area had to be repaired and repainted. It was metal finished inside and out and paint blended to match the original. It's very difficult to see any work was ever done except that it's cleaner than the other inner fenders.
These are some small dents and dings around the car that give it some character. There has been prior touch ups around the rain gutter edges.
When the fender was repaired the rear bumper was changed for a much cleaner original VW stamped one. So, while it's not original to the car, it's an original German one.
Car is available for international shipping if needed.
I take cash or bank wire transfers only. No Paypal, no personal checks, nothing else.........
Thanks for looking.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
Daily Driver: 2015 Volkswagen CC
Wed, Sep 23 2015Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Volkswagen CC Executive, reviewed by Seyth Miersma. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. And don't forget to watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Hi, guys. This is Seyth with Autoblog, and I'm driving the 2015 Volkswagen CC. The version of the car I'm in is the VR6 4motion car, so it's got a six-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. This six-cylinder is actually a little bit of an odd duck at this point for the class. It's a 3.6 liter V6. It makes 280 horsepower, 265 pound-feet of torque. It's really living in a world that's been [00:00:30] overtaken by potent, two-liter turbos. I think something that's particularly difficult, especially in light of what I know about the Volkswagen family, the new engines getting great fuel economy. The 1.8T and obviously the TDI are real champs in that regard. Unfortunately, this VR6 is really sucking down the premium. These days, a 20 MPG combined rating is not particularly good. This definitely isn't a sports car. If you throw it hard into a corner, it leans a little bit, you can feel some roll [00:01:00] through the suspension. Handling is tidy, but it's not particularly precise. Of course, it's not really meant to be. This is a car that's meant to be great on the highway, great cruiser, look pretty stylish, and with a good powertrain, it can be exciting enough. Because you're not getting anything else that's very sports car-like about this car, other than the power delivery, and even there it's not quite on-pace with some of the sporty sedans that you can buy for right around the same money. It just makes for an interesting mix; something that's a little bit fast, [00:01:30] not very fuel-efficient, not a great handler, not a premium badge. Let's cut down right to it. This car is $44,400 and some change. Again, the VR6 4motion Executive Trim level, which means it pretty much gets everything you can get in a CC. We've got leather seats; they are heated. They have a massaging seat on the driver's side. I've got some 18-inch wheels that look pretty good. Big head unit with touch-screen and [00:02:00] navigation, satellite radio, better sound system. Just in general, the car feels very well-appointed. It feels like an entry-level luxury car.
