This '64 Bug is ready to drive cross-country if you like. Mechanically, the only thing it needs is the master cylinder to be adjusted or replaced. It has a dual-circuit master cylinder and reservoir. Anything other changes would be your own modifications. Here's what I've done to it over the last year:
- new shocks front and back, including Empi for a lowered front end
- new front tires 175/60/15; rear have less than 10k miles. Empi 5-star rims.
- new heavy duty front sway bar w/urethane bushings for link-pin lowered front end
- new stock german muffler, non-stock but deeper sounding pea-shooters
- new rear brakes, complete; does need a new master cylinder
- new shock tower body-to-frame pads, same in front where the body sits on the crossbeam
- 9 new pan-to-body bolts w/plates (PO was missing 1/2 of the 18)
- complete re-furbished GERMAN engine tin, including working t-stat and bracket, new air cooling flaps made by Awesome Powdercoat in OH.
- new Euromax carb (I know, not a german rebuild)
- Pertronix Flame Thrower SVDA w/electronic ignition
- Master Series Silver rust proofed the floor pans
- New Wolfsburgh west tar boards for the pans and padding for the interior luggage compartment/firewall
- properly set all of the interior carpeting; correct radio shut off plate
- New: wiper switch, light switch, 12-v lighter socket, left parking light socket.
- ALL Electrical works: parking lights, interior light, license plate light, horn, no shorts.
- upgraded the wiper motor armature for a 12-volt system, so the single speed wipers WORK, and fast. Also installed the correct wiper fluid bottle for the year, but the top leaks air
- New battery (1 year old now), new alternator/chrome alternator pulley, new v-belt, spare in the trunk; new accelerator, clutch, and heater cables (spare of the 1st 2 go w/the car)
- new heat exchangers, both sides, and working heat, though slow to start.
- Scat pro-car 90 front bucket seats; the original front seats go with the sale too
- new 3-point front seat belts from Wolfsburg West.
- Original VW rear seat bottom kick panels, but from a later year Bug.
- the original back seat top is installed, but the bottom in the car is from a later year so it's too high to bolt the backrest to the sides of the car; I have the correct year bottom seat spring frame, but haven't upholstered it. All original seats go w/the car when I sell it.
- also installed original factory German window regulators for the year
- shift lock and keys;
- bamboo tray included; I haven't mounted it
- no radio, but included in the sale is a new, unopened replacement antena from Wolfsburg West.
- The engine decklid I think is from a '65. There is some rust on the nose tip of the front hood.
- the bad: the master cylinder mentioned at the begining and small tears in the headliner under the rear side windows. NEW WOLFSBURG WEST headliner included in the sale!! I just didn't have time to install it.
The odometer reads just over 40,400 miles but that is not accurate.
I accept PayPal, wire transfers or cash. $1,000 deposit from the winning bidder w/in 24 hours of winning the bid, otherwise I reserve the right to re-post or go to the next highest bidder. Don't ask me what the reserve is, I won't discuss it. Also - this is a 49 year old car. No warranty is implied or offered, it is sold as-is, and no refunds. Email me w/any questions!
Thanks and good luck!

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
