This is a single cab that you do not see ever, an early bullet turn signal, dual treasure chest, SWR single cab in wonderful original condition. Finding an original single cab with dual treasure chests are very rare. The paint is all original and still looks amazing for its age. The Sealing Wax Red is one of the most desirable colors to find in early split window buses but to find one with original Sealing Wax Red is almost impossible to find now a days. They have all been repainted over the years. The paint has natural rub-through and looks awesome. It has the perfect older look!! Just check out how perfect the paint is on the interior and on the dash! The exterior has some dings and scratches in it as you would expect from a single cab that has its original untouched paint on it. This is a solid as a rock VW that has practically zero rust on the entire truck. There is only one tiny little bit of rust through on the back corner by the engine lid, see picture. You can't even hardly see it, it's so small of an area. The driver side rocker has teeny tiny little bubbles in it. It very very minor. The rockers on both sides are straight as an arrow and are amazing to see in such wonderful straight condition. The front skin is very nice and has no rust on it. The front emblem is original painted and looks great too. The original gates are in great original condition. The bumpers all all original and correct for this year of truck. The headlights are very very nice and the chrome looks very shiny. The original Hella glass is very nice. The glass has all new rubber installed in them. I had a professional windshield shop in town remove, replace and reinstall the windows. The glued the new Wolfsburg West seals in so they will not leak. The wing windows has all new rubber on them. The doors have fairly new rubber on them too. The wheels have been powder coated white and I had brand new 1" whitewalls installed and balanced on the rims. The hubcaps are powder coated the exact original color for Volkswagen transporters from the 1960's. The entire brake system has been gone through and have had the parts either refurbished or replaced. The drivetrain was removed and the original transaxle was rebuilt and gone through by Rancho. The rear shocks were replaced too. The engine was replaced with a brand new 1600cc dual port engine. The engine itself has new cases, as you can see there are no numbers on it. Everything else is new on it too like the intake, carburetor, generator and more. I had a rebuilt Bosch 019 distributor installed too. This is the most flawless running Volkswagen I have ever owner or driven. Its amazing the performance gains and smoothness that the 019 distributor gives the Volkswagen. It now has awesome power and reliability that you can trust to take long drives in. The engine just had the valves adjusted and special air cooled oil was used when replaced. It is ready to drive wherever you want. Jump in and drive home. The interior is beautiful and looks exactly how it would of came from Germany in 1961. The seat is the original rare humpback bench seat that was reupholstered with the top of the line original style material that matches perfectly with original material. I paid over $500 just for the material and had a professional upholsterer install and stretch the material over the new seat padding. The door panels are exact duplicates of original door panels that you would of seen in new Volkswagen that came from the factory in 1961. The door pockets are exact copies of the originals. The color is exact color that what the originals would of come with. Again, I paid almost $500 just for the door panels and front kick panels. I spared no expense when it came to keeping the single cabs' interior as looking original as possible. The original floor mat is very nice and not worn out. The headliner is the original, yes original headliner that came in the truck from the factory. The center of the headliner has dipped down a tiny bit. But all of the original headliner hold down strips and mounting screws are intact. The original sun visor is intact and in great original condition. The dash is just beautiful on the truck. The paint is in stunning original condition. The original thin lip parcel tray is very nice and the original paint is in fantastic original condition. The radio is not hooked up. This is one of the nicest driving Volkswagen buses I have ever driven. The steering is nice and tight and the suspension is plush. The front suspension has not been messed with or altered. The front floors are solid and have no rust through on them, just surface. The dual treasure chests are very unique and the floor is very nice. The treasure chest has all of its original grey paint. The truck bed floor is nice too but it has chipped and flaking paint in it. The bed floor has no rust through either. The rear gate latches have been relocated by the previous original owner. Overall this is an awesome original 1961 Volkswagen Split Window single cab with original Sealing Wax Red paint. I welcome all overseas bidders. I will help with coordinating shipping and assisting with loading the VW for shipping too. I can store the single cab for a month while shipping arrangement are being made.

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
