CALIFORNIA CAR - RESTORED - NO RUST - RUNS GREAT - READY TO DRIVE

This beauty of a Bug was a pan-off rebuild and restore in 1990 by a San Francisco Bay Area beetle maniac. I acquired it in 1998 and had it as my daily driver until 2001, when I moved back to the midwest. Since then it has spent winters in the garage and summers driving country roads on the weekend. It has never touched salt and has no rust, including common troublespots like underbody, wheel wells and heat exchangers. It has 49,000 miles since the rebuild.

The car is built as stock including six-volt electronics. Some like to convert to 12v but I chose to keep it stock. It does have a 1600cc engine from 1968 instead of the stock 1300 but that's the only real change. I have a clean title to sign over to the buyer.

I recently cleaned and tuned the carburetor and it starts right up with the key, holds a great idle and runs like a champ. It goes up to 80 mph on the freeway and with a bit more tuning could hit high 80s.

In the last couple years the car has also had:
-Five new tires! Good clean rubber, hardly worn and in great shape
-New ignition system including coil, plugs, cap, points, rotor and cables
-New fuel system components including engine-compartment lines, filters and fuel pump
-New brakes including four new drums, all new pads and new or rebuilt wheel cylinders
-New battery this spring, with included 6V Battery Tender for winter storage
-Rebuilt carburetor

The car does have some minor body damage including some rubbed-off paint, a minor dent and a squished-in front end. Also the handbrake cable is currently broken and needs to be replaced. One photo shows a black front wheel - the spare happens to be on there, the white wheel is included, see images at link. That's it.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
