I did not think I would be doing this and I know I am going to regret my decision in selling my Vw considering I will never ever find an unmolested all original German again, but I have made up my mind and must sell a few of my classics.
With that being said, a little about myself...
I have a passion for 1965 model year cars since I was a kid and I buy them, register them, insure them, restore them, drive them, enjoy them and put them on the road again. I see a lot of cars and have many friends that keep their eye out for me but it is getting more and more difficult to find original owner classics. I know my cars well and I will only buy an original unmolested classic from its first owner that drove it home from the dealer when it was new. This bug was an exception and I am the third owner, here's why..
The car was purchased new in 1965 in San Francisco Ca. by a lady that was in love with it. When she could no longer drive it do to health issues she covered it up in front of her home where it sat for some years. One day she decided to sell it and went outside, uncovered it put a "For Sale" sign on the window and covered it back up. (laugh out loud, may she rest in peace). The neighbor across the street saw this and called up a buddy of mine that lives out here in Los Angeles who was very interested in it for a long time so he purchased the car and brought it back here with the intension to restore it.
The car was repainted at some time prior to him so he began sanding the front right fender (never told me why) ordered the wrong seat covers (color and all. there for a Karman Ghia). He also pushed the car into the wall of his garage (see left fender/bumper in the picture) Then the car sat in his garage and driveway for 18+ years (with the exceptions of the Warner Brothers studios renting and towing it away or two commercial shoots) before he decided he had no time to restore it and sold it to me a few years back when I had a shop where I restored and stored my vehicles.
So I rebuilt the engine, replaced master brake cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake shoes and springs, installed a new 6volt battery, four new tires and I also bought parking brake cables that I never bothered to install, registered it and started driving this Bug the way it is rather than restoring it.
This Vw Bug is...
All original down to the jack and two sets of keys, all German (except seat covers and spare tire) no rust other than the battery pan (see pic). The outside of the car was repainted many years ago same color (but I'm guessing a cheap paint job do to the fender beads being painted). The speaker to the radio is worn out but I,m pretty sure the radio works. The front bumper is slightly bent (see pic) front windshield has chip (see pic). Dealer option bumper guards (see pic)
All original 1965 Volkswagen Beetle 6 volt that will start with a quarter click of the key. Super reliable, you can fly in from anywhere in the nation and drive it home.
If you are looking to restore a Bug here is the rare find, or if you have the means of storing it here is the investment. These cars will go up in value as they age.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale
Sat, Jun 18 2016"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
