Up for your consideration is this awesome 1956 VW Oval Ragtop.Originally was a Diamond Green? Clear Title. This car has been sitting outside for a long time. It is all there. . At some point the car had a janky exterior repaint that has a excellent patina look to it. The pan from the seat rails back are flint stone material. The front floors are thin with smaller holes. The heater channels have alot of surface rust as do the door pillars towards the front of the car. I didnt find any holes but I'm sure if you dug enough you would have them. The bottoms of the doors have rust. The front apron where the wheel well for the spare tire is also flint stone material. The front and rear aprons are fairly straight but the over rider holes in the front are elongated out.The rear deck lid is not the correct w deck lid. The right rear fender has a nice dent in the side along with a crack and both rear over rider holes beat up. I have 2 rear bumpers that are not pictured that go with the car.There is rust in front of the ragtop assembly towards the windshield. The 36 hp motor is locked up from sitting. The ragtop hardware is all there minus the actual fabric.Wiring looks un hacked. Most all of the interior is there. (including the Motorola radio!)In my opinion this car needs to be separated from the pan. Completely rebuild the pan, running gear brakes wheels tires to your liking. All of the existing body issues could be fixed and blended to the existing look of the car. ( I would source a W deck lid for this) I would clear coat over the top remarry the body and pan and have a cool cruiser. The interior could be left ratty or restored. You would have one helluva patina cruiser! Interestingly in the front area where the vin and vw badge is some yellow writing behind the tag that's still legible perhaps from the factory? I think it says USA special Order? This is a really neat old car that deserves life again. I will help with shipping at buyers expense. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. I can assist in shipping at YOUR cost. The car or title will not leave my possession until all payment is received. I reserve the right to end the auction as the car is for sale locally. Thanks for your time and buy this baby!

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
