I am selling my 1962 VW Ragtop Sunroof bug. This car is my pride and joy, and has been garage kept since the day I bought her. She is an original black plate California car, that I had shipped to Florida. I had wanted to lower the car, but she is to pretty and original to mess with. I have had the car for two years, and have placed less than 900 miles on the car. 


About the Car (The Good):
----------------------------------------
Original, number matching, pan, body, and engine 1962 bug
Solid Original Floor Pans (Undercoated)
Solid Heater Channels
Door close tight, with no sag, or rotting of the driver or passenger A-Post.

Original, non grafted Rag Top, that opens and closes smoothly
New Rag on Ragtop
Original Color car, had one re spray years ago. 
Original Radio, 
Original Glove Box, 
Original Trunk Liner

Unmolested car

This car is a real Eye catcher, and head turner
Car runs solid
Shifts smooth through all four gears
Clutch does not pop out, 
No issues with the Syncro
Car runs like a champ
Brakes work well, with no pulling upon stopping

The Minor Issues:
----------------------------
-Paint re sprayed years ago, it is all in original color. The paint has some dings in it from wear and tear over the years. I never painted the car, because I like the character of the wear on the original color paint. 
-Needs new Window and Door Molding. (Never replaced, as I don't drive the car in the rain)
-Door Dent in the back Left Fender
-Floor pans were undercoated. Some people like this, I do not. The pans are all original with no rust threw. 
-Seats could used to be redone (I liked the character of them as well)


In closing, this is an amazing bug, and is and was my dream bug. I bought this car with the intentions of lowering it, but she is to original, and truly is a well preserved specimen. I could not bring myself to even remotely do anything un-stock to this car. 

This car would make an insane vehicle for a full restoration, or would and does make a great vehicle to keep untouched and 100% Original. 
I am in no need of selling this car, I just feel bad that she sits in my garage 99% of the time. I would like to see someone who loves, and appreciates original old bugs, be able to really enjoy this car and treat her as she deserves and needs to be treated.

Any questions or comments, please let me know. I can send videos or phots of anything you would like to see about the car upon request.

Thanks!

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
