!!!1955 VW "OVAL" BEETLE RUST FREE SURVIVOR!!!!

I am selling my 1955 VW Beetle. This is the "Oval" Model, meaning the back window shape is oval and small. The car is in mostly original condition and is totally rust free. I bought the car last year fully intending to keep it for the long haul but simply have neither the room or time to due it justice. To keep such a gem in storage would be wrong in my opinion, so I am offering it to some lucky collector or VW enthusiast. The previous owner had the car for 20 years and while he only put about 500 miles on it during that time, he did buy as many options as he possibly could, which makes it really interesting and unique. I could strip the options and probably get a couple thousand dollars for them alone, but will include them as long as the car meets reserve. The items in the roof rack are not included though.

I do not profess to be an expert but do know a fair amount about these cars and certainly know what these ovals are worth, so please do not try and low ball me. My inspection tells me that the engine, transmission etc., are all original to the car and the previous owner stated the same. I do not, however, swear by it, since I do not know how to check it but can give the interested party all pertinent numbers to trace, if they choose to. I also can not find any significant bondo anywhere, so assume that the body parts are also original to the car. Everything is steel with no fiberglass knock off parts.The floor pans are super solid and no hole at the battery either. Possibly they were replaced but the job was done so professionally that I can not tell. The black paint also appears to be original since I see no over spray anywhere and some fading apparent but shines up like new.

The little bug drives fantastic, like all properly tuned 36 HP motors do. Purrs like a sewing machine and with the brand new battery, it starts first try every time. Still 6 volt system, so unmolested in that regard. All glass is original except possibly the front windshield. The mohair head liner is definitely original and in great shape although a bit dark from age. Interior is all vinyl, which I believe was replaced back in the 60's but is in great shape with no rips or tears and no fading. Transmission shifts easily and brakes all work properly. Tires are like new and are wide white Atlas Radials with plenty of tread remaining. Chrome and stainless are all in very good condition, although the door handles are showing some age.

The interior has a set of rope trays below the steering wheel and above the visors for storage. The motorola radio works fine, as does the heat, blinkers, horn, wipers etc. Rare bug deflector on the hood actually does work! Although I have driven it sparingly, I did have it up to highway speeds with no problems to note. However, due to the age of the car and the fact it has been used very lightly for many many years, I would not advise a long drive to it's new home and would trailer it myself. Naturally the vehicle has no warranty and is sold as is.

Please note that Connecticut is a NON TITLE STATE. What this means is that no amount of pleading, plotting, crying, begging etc., can produce a title. All vehicles over 25 years of age are sold with a CT Bill of Sale and I can get it notarized if necessary. I have sold several vehicles over the years both in the US and over seas, with ZERO Problems, so do not let this scare you. I mention it upfront so there are no issues at the end of the sale. Please check with your local DMV and you will see they have no issues with the situation.

If you have less than 5 feedbacks please contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid. This is serious business and I have no time or patience with games. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in any way possible. For our international buyers, please have your shipping arrangements in place prior to bidding as I will not hold the car endlessly while you try and get it moved. I can hold the car for a reasonable amount of time with the vehicle paid in full if needed. Payment accepted will be certified/bank check or wire transfer. (Pay Pal is okay for deposit).

I have poor mind reading skills, so please ask questions and I will do my best to answer. I can also try and take additional pictures if you need but the vehicle is inside, so might be tight. Best of luck with this true gem. If you have been looking at them, you know what they go for. I would suspect that many of you have never seen one this old, so take a good look at the differences to the more modern ones and bid to win. My reserve is very fair as I am not looking to get rich, just trying to recover my investment, which will most likely leave you with a great price. Thanks for viewing my ad.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
