We are selling our 1964 VW Beetle to make room for our next toy. This car is a pleasure to drive! I am not a mechanic and won't pretend to be in this description. The information I'm sharing was given to me by Jaz at George's Foreign Car Service, a great little company that knows VW's well. The engine is not original, it came out of a 1971 Beetle. It doesn't burn oil, runs great, and starts right up. The transmission is easy to shift and works like it's supposed to. The brakes, brake lines, and everything to do with the brakes, is newer. The tires are in good condition. The is no rust and under the car is solid and rust free. The seats are in good shape. The exterior is painted primer gray. The rubber around the windows is new and the windshield is new. All the lights work, all the electrical stuff works. The chrome trim is new. The car was just tuned up and valves adjusted about 100 miles ago. We also have a vintage VW tow bar that is included with the car, it too works well.

This is a great little car! We are also selling it locally and you are welcome to stop by and take a look. Please do not bid if you don't have the intention to buy. The reserve is set at a fairly low price but I won't tell you what that is. Not sure if that's a good idea but one time I didn't have a reserve and sold something for a lot less than it was worth. There is no warranty, I'm selling this VW as-is-where-as. I have a clear title and will UPS it to you as soon as I receive payment.

Everyone but VW and Tesla has recalled their Takata airbags

Thu, Aug 20 2015

Takata's massive airbag inflator recall affected over 32 million vehicles from 11 automakers in the US, but two companies buying the supplier's parts haven't been affected so far: Volkswagen and Tesla. There are 887,055 VWs and 184,926 Teslas using Takata's inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant, a new accounting shows, according to Automotive News. That doesn't necessarily mean the models need to be recalled. These figures came from a report that Takata prepared for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which listed all of the vehicles it supplied with ammonium nitrate-fueled inflators. The substance is believed to be linked with the components' rupturing, along with manufacturing defects and humidity. "We're not asking because we've got reports of problems; we just need to figure out what the universe is," NHTSA spokesman Gordon Trowbridge said to Automotive News. Takata reportedly told Tesla that the inflators in its EVs are not affected with these problems, and VW is investigating a case in June where a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 Tiguan, Automotive News reports. The government is also still researching the precise cause of the parts' ruptures. If the investigation finds ammonium nitrate to be a factor, the vehicles could need recalled. During a Congressional hearing Takata vice president Kevin Kennedy admitted that ammonium nitrate could be among the factors of the ruptures, but the company has continued to use the chemical in its inflators. Takata is now working to transition to a different propellant. Related Video:

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.
