1960 Vw Beetle- Runs And Drives And Stops!! on 2040-cars
New London, Connecticut, United States
|
We are selling a 1960 VW Beetle on consignment. Restoration has begun and is running, drivable and is not bad to look at either. Top is in good shape, body isn't bad, has a couple of dings on it from being stored inside with other classic cars. Has some rust on the undercarriage that doesn't effect how it rides, and looks like it is normal rust for this vintage VW. Pictures show the extent of the rust. She also needs a turn signal switch, when driving we always use hand signals which add to the charm of driving this old girl around. The interior has been replaced, the tires are good, the brakes are good all the way around, clutch is good, all the glass is intact. Not much wrong with this one, just needs to be finished up. We need to move it to make way for more work, the current owner is not in a position to invest any money into the car at this time. Timing is everything and right now its perfect time to take advantage of someone else being in a position that they need money and not a beauty like this cute little VW. Its a rare one, try to find a 1960 convertible.............. If you are reading this you probably are aware what these babies go for now so bid accordingly. If you have any questions or want more pictures feel free to email me or call our body shop at 860-442-4536 and ask for Steve, he will answer whatever questions you may have. If you are in a position to look at it here in CT feel free to come by at 64 Brainard Street, New London, CT 06320 I It is being sold as is and we expect payment within 3 days of bid closing. A PayPal deposit will be required at the end of the auction. Transportation is up to you, we will be glad to work with whoever you find to transport with logistics. |

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
