1965 Volkswagon Beetle Classic on 2040-cars
Burlingame, California, United States
|
We bought this vintage bug, 'Patina', as it seemed very well taken care
off, from a family member of the original owner, a few years back, with
the intention to KEEP it just the way it is, - in original condition,
with very minor upgrades, and service. take a look at this wonderful Bug
in all its glory, unmolested, and about 95% original. The engine was
rebuilt last year, by the Buggy House in Hayward, to original specs, and
has less then 500 miles on it.
The bug still needs some tlc, but otherwise, its solid, and reliable. No structural rust, no major dents or body damage, solid floor pan, minor oxidation in the usual areas. the battery compartment is -solid, and clean, no eminent rust, as is the spare tire well, and just about everything is intact and working, doors lock and shut well, as do the hood and deck lid... and, the exception- for the -dreaded- windshield washer- squirter, not a big deal, just time. We are selling because we are loosing our garage space, and the family is growing, so we are choosing to pass the torch on to the next VW enthusiast, if you are the fortunate one. The older Bugs, in this area, in this type of condition, are not easy to find, as you will find on the internet, most or molested, modified, or just beat on. The price is $11,500 or would consider a reasonable cash offer Serious inquiries please. Phyllis or Richard 65o`477 33 three three for any questions. We are not online much, so a call is best, should you need immediate information. |

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
