1961 Original Ragtop VW Bug: The Bug is completely done...... 

Up for sale is my 1961 VW Ragtop - Pan off Restoration. This project has taken me 1 1/2 years to complete. I have went trough everything on this bug from a fully powder coated pan to full custom interior.

Here is some of the highlights from this master piece: 

1961 matching numbers original ragtop 
3 STAGE paint - fully color sanded and buffed With 5 YEAR warranty 
Fully powder coated pan with all hardware replaced 
New 4" narrowed front end Fully powder coated 
4 wheel Airkewld Bad series stage II disk brakes all the way around (Wilwood) 
New Benco Transmission / Street pro (0 miles) 
New Professionally done and installed interior

All new rubber 
New windshield 
There is nothing on this bug that is not show quality. 
There is a ton of things that I have not listed and a ton of things that I was not able to put in the pictures. The best way to see this car is in person to appreciate the true restoration and custom work. 

Let's put it this way, everything on this bug has been touched. The restoration is second to none. As you can see it has some California style but has retained the stock look. The vehicle could easily be turn back into a stock VW but this is the style that I like. I have a ton of pictures, receipts, birth certificate, paperwork documenting all of the stages of work. 

This is a serious vehicle, for serious people. I can guaranty, this is NOT the VW our parents drove back in the day LOL! 

Why am I selling it? - Because I am ready to do another project. (plain and simple) 
I want to do a vert. next. 

If you are truly interested in this car please call me and lets talk about it. I am not looking for the tire kickers or the folks that are just asking questions. I want the true enthusiasts to call for more info. 

See the build here:

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
