Up for your bidding consideration is a VERY clean 1957 VW oval window beetle. The body & pan have matching numbers, and are rust free. I bought the car out of California a couple of years ago, and based on what the previous owner told me, the body & paint, along with the interior was done about 10 years ago. The paint is starting to show it's age a little, but still has great shine, perfect for a driver. Below is a list of what this car has.
Turbocharged 1915 engine, running 9 lbs of boost. Can run on 91 octane pump gas, but runs AWESOME on 110 octane!
Car Craft turbo header
Turbosmart waste gate
Weber 40 side draft carb
Full MSD ignition system with 6 BTM module
Autometer Tach, boost & oil pressure gauges
Full flow oiling with doghouse & external oil cooler with electric fan, and system one oil filter, all braided stainless hoses
Electric fuel pump with boost controlled regulator, braided stainless hoses
12 Volt electrical with alternator & Optima red top battery
Rancho Pro street transaxle, Gene Berg shifter
4 wheel disc brakes with braided stainless lines
Narrowed & dropped front beam
Digital DEHNE repro fuel level gauge
Wolfsburg West seat belts
Polished Porsche alloys with like new tires all around
Car is solid, and a blast to drive! It flat out hauls A$$!
The winning bidder will also get the "W" deck lid with the car.
The only reason I am selling it is to put money into another project I have going.
The only issues this car has is a minor crack in the driver's side front fender, and in the hood, right below the prop, which is common for a bug of this age. The aluminum sideplate on the transaxle drips a few drops of gear oil, needs to be re-sealed.
I have described the car to the best of my ability, and as always, this is a used car that is over 50 years old, and will be sold in "as-is" codition, with no warranty expressed or implied. Thanks for looking, and PLEASE do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have...

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
