Up for sale is a restored '64 Beetle. This is a very solid car that has had a meticulous and correct restoration. Evertything on the body was removed, prepped and painted, then re-assembled so there are no masking tape lines anywhere, just like when it was new. The paint (Ruby Red) is base coat/clear coat and is as nice as you will find anywhere. The car still retains it's original German glass (except windshied) with all new rubbers, weather stripping, moldings, door handles, hubcaps, hood & trunk handles, clips, etc. Everything on the car both electrically and mechanically work fine. The door locks, windows (including vent) THE HEATER, e-brake, turn signal cancel, horn, high/low beam, ALL FUNCTION PROPERLY. All the fluids have been changed including the transaxle and brake system. Nice firm brake pedal with no pulling when applied. Brand new BFG radials with 100% tread remaining. There are no shakes in the steering wheel and runs straight when you let go of the wheel. The exhaust has been replaced along with heater boxes. Valves have been adjusted, new ignition parts, new carb and fuel pump, automatic choke operates as it should and the car starts up immediately. The car was converted to 12V especially for that reason. Please look carefully at the pictures and notice the floor boards. The normal battery piece was replaced but was done right so you can't even tell from underneath. The Saphire radio works including the pre-sets. I took a picture of the engine while the valve covers were off so you can see that it is immaculate inside. It does not smoke or make any unusual noises. It has that typical VW sound.
Very nice original VW that still requires rolling down a window to easily close the doors. The headliner, rugs, seat cover, everything, inside the car shows well. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS with this one. I encourage you to come see the car (if possible) or send some one. Ask questions if you are not sure. The only dumb question is the one not asked!
I respectfully ask only Continental US bidders to bid, if your feedback is low, you must contact me first. Please make sure your funds are in order. Your deposit is non-refundable and must be through Paypal. Thank you for looking and best of luck.

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
