1959 Volkswagen double cab.

I love this truck, however, some people asked about a price at a show this weekend and i started searching around, and found something else I'd like to drive. If it sells, I get what I want. If not, I keep the truck I love

About the truck. It's an early sept 59. Seamed gates, but not seamed roof. Stock height, 15's, safari's, registered, insured, ready to drive home if you are ready for a road trip in a classic.It's got a very cool look, faded paint, surface rust, something you can't fake. Interior is decent, seats redone, etc. runs drives stops and is registered and insured in the state of Texas. The headlights running lights and brake lights work, the turn signals do not. Probably an easy fix and I will look into it.

The body is in pretty good shape. I bought it from some idiot that lied to me about it's condition. I got it running very well, starts every time, lol, changed the battery. Dp intake seals, tuned, timed, cap, rotor, etc. its,12v, trans is a big nut later model, so retains stock height but better gearing. It cruises 65 easily, and I've done 71mph. All the brakes are redone, new hard lines, new soft lines, new wheel cylinders, new shoes, new front drums, new bearings etc. new shocks all the way around. It grinds a little into 2nd unless you double clutch. Mechanically it's solid and ready to drive now.

It's pretty clean body wise. The corners, rockers, nose, etc are good. The front floor needs the left and right sides done, but it's still solid and driveable. The rear floor is pretty nice, no rust under the back seat and back to the firewall. That's where they always rust. That stuff is clean. The front cross member has some rust, so does the rear door bottom, otherwise it's pretty clean. The bed is super clean, except an idiot cut a little square in the bed. I have new Garson metal for it, but haven't welded it up, yet. The last gate is new and perfect, blended in. The rear and right gate are original and in decent shape, but rusty at the hinges. Cheap fix if you just want to weld em up. They function as is and I throw bikes in the back and roll all the time.

The seats are reupholstered stock by the best in the business, front and back. Door panels are nice, but i don't have thereof panels or rear door panel. Dash is uncut. Wolfgang safaris are new. One pop out latch was broken and I replaced it with an excellent one. The speedo isn't hooked up, don't know if it works, but it's sunburnt and looks bad,I would assume it doesnt. I have been looking for a good one for a good price but haven't found it. The red and green lights do work. I added a new right side mirror. Most of these parts were bought at Wolfsburg west, ISP west or Wolfgang. I added a cigarette lighter for the GPS and iPhone, I added a pretty ridiculous stero system that will be included with the buy it now price only. Sony stereo, with Bluetooth, big JBL 5 channel amp, 2 12 inch audioque 12's under the back seat, etc.

Ive made long distance freeway trips recently with no issues. If you know an air cooled vw, if it does 65 on the freeway for an hour, it'll do it 2000 miles. That said, it's an old truck. Things happen and I can't offer any kind of warrenty. I will assist your shipper, and will even help you find one. Of course you can come check it out in Houston Texas. I do think it would drive anywhere and you would wear out before it did.

The price isn't cheap. It's a 59 double cab, it's got a great look, and it runs and drives well. Find another 59 cheaper...you can't. Please feel free to email me with questions, or very specific pic requests, but if you start wasting my time, I will stop communicating. Check my feedback, I'm solid buying and selling cars. Ithis is one of my dream Vw's, but I've found something else, a couple parties are interested and this is the fairest way for all parties involved. I get my price or I don't.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

VW Beetle R is one mean bug

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
