Professionally Appraised and Certified Classic 1965 Volkswagen Beetle. Official appraisal booklet/Certificate ($500 value) included in sale price. This VW Bug has been in my family since 1973. My parents purchased this vehicle in Hawaii while stationed with the US Navy in Pearl Harbor. It actually still has the Honolulu Towing sticker on the driver's side flip out window. After leaving the military my parents shipped this car back home to Queens New York. As a child this was our family car for a few years. In 1987 we took it off the road as we no longer needed it as a family vehicle (station wagons were the thing to drive). We stored the car in our garage until 1995 when my father decided to put it back on the road. We had it as a buzz around town car for a few years before it returned back into the garage in 1999. After sitting around for a few years my father decided to pay to have the car fully restored. In 2007/2008 my father brought the car to Steve's Foreign Car Repair in Rockville Centre New York. Steve stripped the car down completely and rebuilt it using all original parts as much as possible. The floor boards were fully replaced so you can see the extent that was taken to bring this car back to life. My father's goal was to take this car to VW shows etc. The car is in beautiful condition and just needs a little love. The front bumper has a small kink in it but can easily be popped out by a body shop. The only other thing that it needs is a spare tire and a new side mirror. I replaced the mirror with one that better suits my blind spots etc. As for the spare tire I don't need one as my Insurance policy has free road side assistance. I am the sole owner now and it's insured and registered in my name in Stamford CT. I drive it around on the weekends and keep it in my garage. The Classic Auto Insurance is a reasonable cost per year ($125.00) and it's very particular how the car can be used (cruising and shows, no more than 1,000 miles a year). I had the professional appraisal done 5/17/2011 as I needed to have the car valued in order to settle my father's estate. The appraisal valued it at $11,000.00 with an Insurance replacement of $11,750.00. I love the car but I think it would be better to see a true VW lover take ownership of her. I'm moving and having garage space going forward is going to be a challenge. It would be nice to see the next owner keep her in their family for another 40 years!

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
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.
