* "Classic" 1965 VW (Sunroof) Beetle * "BUGS are fun...they've always been fun!" Before you and up for bid is my 1965 VW Beetle. The particulars of the BUG are as follows: * One family owned (mine) since new. Original California bug purchased new in Fresno. First year ownership remained in CA., then 47 years in Arizonia. Two years presently in Colorado. * Garaged its entire life when not being driven, great 50 year patina! * NO ACCIDENT history, yep...it has never been bent. * Solid from front to rear...guaranteed to be ZERO RUST! * "Survivor" condition, other than one repaint in 1985, it is completely original throughout. * Original 1200cc (40hp) engine, these 1200's are becoming increasingly more difficult to find. Great compresssion, new wires and NGK plugs, distinct sound. * Runs & drives great! * Factory 4-speed, shifts perfect through the upshifts as well as reverse, good synchro's. * All original glass, there is a windshield chip, however, a period correct (50 yr. old) windshield will accompany the sale. * All new glass gasket set will accompany the sale. * ONLY 80,011 ACTUAL miles! * I removed the carpets to illustrate the rust free aspect of the pans, see (pics) A new set (13 pieces, I believe) of black carpet(s) will accompany the sale. * There has never been any rust/repair to the battery provision. * 2nd year offering for the steel sunroof car from VW...very desirable. * Original SAPHIRE radio...it plays. * All safety features, lights, directionals, wipers, horn, emergency flashers, high & low beams, etc., operate. * Still 6 volt * New battery ($95.00) * Operable speedometer & odometer * Ankle baking heat * Original brochure (not a reproduction) included * Original UNIROYAL spare At 50 years of age, the BUG looks good and runs great, wonderful little conveyances these BUGS! Everybody loves a BUG...everywhere it goes, it draws attention and makes people smile. The most important aspect for one to consider if they plan to restore a BUG is rust. Aspect negated...there is NO RUST here... The BUG is worthy of a restoration. Parts are inexpensive, readily available and these are among the easiest of cars to work on. Any novice could undertake this as it would make a great individual, father/son or mother/daughter project. You are bidding to purchase the BUG, not to be the first to "look at it". Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. It's a low dough car...one that shouldn't require permission. Thank you. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. I have set a reasonable reserve for the BUG. It is commensurate with the condition, ownership history and low miles. Please do not ask what the reserve is, I will not disclose it. Again, this is an inexpensive car. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the "classic" 1965 VW Sunroof BUG that you see before you. The VW and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. Transportation and/or shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) I can also recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. While I am confident that the BUG could be driven home to anywhere in America, I do not recommend driving it home. Old cars are just that...old cars. Miles from home is not the place to become acquainted with your "new" old car. Get it home first. With that said, if you choose to drive it home, I can't stop you, and I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. * Important Condition: If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, years of inactivity on eBay, excessive negative feedback, or less than 10 quality transactions (yeah, that order of PEEPS won't count), you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions, otherwise, your bid will be canceled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This simple guideline is in place to preserve the integrity of the auction. My experience is that if one has little feedback, there is no incentive to fulfill a purchase commitment, for negative feedback is of no concern to this individual. The people that are regular ebayer's care about their buying/seller's rating(s). Thank you. A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable within 24 hours of auction close VIA PayPal, no exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 5 days thereafter, under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance, as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will accept PayPal for the entire amount, however, ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the initial payment fee. (approx. $30.00 per $1000.00) eBay provides for only 24 pictures, I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a brief message, and I will return your call promptly. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me and PRESENT your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" Be thinking in the $5500-$6500 range. Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. If the VW is destined to leave the country, I have shipped numerous times abroad and have contacts to assist in facilitating this. The VW and title will not be released until full payment has been received. I am not a dealer, I am a collector hobbyist that is downsizing. 100% eBay satisfaction, those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased with their cars, their expectations exceeded. Clear Colorado title in my name. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid on this 50 year old "classic" VW BUG! Jeff (719)-492-1234,c |

Autoweek dubs GMC Canyon, VW GTI its 2015 'Best of the Best'
Wed, Dec 17 2014For kids around the globe, tis the season for Santa, reindeer and presents. For the automotive industry, the last quarter of each year is reserved for awards, whether they come from Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Automobile, or yes, Autoblog. The latest to get released comes from our friends at Autoweek. The magazine has echoed other outlets, naming a Volkswagen hatchback and a small pickup from General Motors as its Best of the Best. Unlike Motor Trend, which handed out its golden calipers to the Chevrolet Colorado and Volkswagen Golf range, Autoweek doled out its awards to the Colorado's twin, the GMC Canyon, while singling out the hottest version of the Golf, the GTI. "This is the best hot-hatch on the American market – and it may be the best car you can buy for less than $30K," one AW staffer said in the publication's article on the feature. Other staffers praised the absolute value provided by the GTI and the overall fun factor. The Canyon, meanwhile, was saluted for being "the perfect size," not to mention its excellent build quality, feature-rich cabin and overall practicality. "It's truly a truck in the most honest sense of the word," Autoweek wrote of the Canyon. Scroll down for the full press release on the announcement from Autoweek, which includes comments from both Volkswagen and GMC. And then head over and read AW's full feature on the awards. Autoweek names Best of the Best/Car and Truck for 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI and GMC Canyon signal a strong year for design, performance and value DETROIT, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Autoweek named the Volkswagen Golf GTI as its Best of the Best/Car for 2015, beating a group of finalists that includes the Alfa Romeo 4C, Ford Mustang and Mercedes-Benz C-class; and the GMC Canyon as its Best of the Best/Truck for 2015, besting the likes of the Chevrolet Colorado, Lincoln MKC and Porsche Macan. Autoweek evaluates every new or significantly updated model throughout the year and begins to identify the standouts. Performance, economy, fit and finish, design, value, significance to the auto industry and personal taste all combine to define the Best of the Best. Four cars and four trucks make the grade, and Autoweek editors put them through rigorous road-handling tests at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich. This is where a vehicle transcends the numbers and shows if design, performance and pure driving passion meld into an Autoweek Best of the Best pick.
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
