This Bug Is Vintage To The Bone on 2040-cars
Stockton, California, United States

Thanks for checking out my ad! I'm the second owner of this mostly original, stock, vintage, California,1964 Bug. You can use it as a daily driver or drive her just on the weekends and to the car shows as I have been doing. She's not perfect but she's pretty darn close! Be prepared to get compliments and questions from those that see her. The original floor pan is solid and has zero rust. She starts every time and drives smoothly and with plenty of power. I installed a newly rebuilt 1600 dual port engine and I've put less than 4000 miles on it. It also has a new .009 distributor with electronic ignition, plus all new, carburetor, oil pump, oil cooler, dog house tins, and fuel pump. It's been converted to a 12 volt system with new starter, head light buckets and bulbs and a new 12 volt battery. She's got new tires, and the tranny, shocks and brakes are in excellent condition. My mechanic told me once that the heater isn't hooked up but since I never drive her when it's cold or raining I never bothered to do it. To maintain that vintage style I left the 8-track player in the dash but it's not hooked up(it's a 6 volt). I put in a new 4-1/2" two-way speaker in the dash, an amp and plug for an Ipod ( Ipod is NOT INCLUDED ) to listen to while cruising. The interior is in overall excellent, clean condition (I'm a non-smoker). There are no tears or rips in the original seats or door panels. The original headliner does show some patina but is in tact. Carpets are original and still in great shape but just slightly on the thin side. The floor mats are new. I have put new VW rubber pads on the clutch and brake pedals. The exterior paint does have some minor wear and chips but these aren't noticable (see photo) and only add to the patina. The luggage rack is included with the car as well as the mud flaps and the cheese grater on the exhaust pipes. The window scraper on the driver's door does need to be replaced (see photo) but all other rubber is in good condition. The winning bidder will also get a brand new pair of all steel 2-1/2" dropped spindles that I got from California Imports (a $100.00 value) and never got around to installing, also some new interior door handles and window cranks, and even a custom fit car-cover!!! I hope you contact me if you have any questions and they will be gladly answered. The winning bidder is responsible for pick-up and or transportation after payment by cashier's check or money order is received and verified. Good luck and happy bidding! On Apr-24-14 at 14:47:51 PDT, seller added the following information: I listed the engine as dual port but it is actually the more reliable single port engine. All the mechanics and electrical were done by Jim's VW Repair in Lodi, CA. I;m sorry for any confusion I may have caused. |

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
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.
VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
