1969 Classic Beetle , Near Perfect Condition ! on 2040-cars
Braselton, Georgia, United States
|
This is an extremely nice Volkswagen Beetle built in 1968 and is a 1969 Model year , it is a desirable color, Savannah Beige , has chrome wheels and Michelin XZX tires , wheels and tires are about 1500 dollars ( see Coker tire) the car has a Nardi wood steering wheel , the Bamboo under dash storage shelf and has a Great AM,FM XM satellite stereo , I bought this car last year from the Bob Stanek collection here in Atlanta , this car was restored by this avid VW collector and was his favorite and he drove it often . He had a phenominal paint job put on it complete bare metal inside and out , all trim and rubber removed ,completely disassembled as it should be done , paint on dash , inside door jams , window frames is exceptional and probably explains why the paint work was over $18,000 alone , it has new interior including headliner , floor mats , visors etc , again perfect . All new rubber trim was installed and motor and gearbox were rebuild to perfection , runs , starts, steers and stops better than any I have seen. Leak down reflects the quality of the drive train . Stanek performed a no expense spared restoration and it is an unbelievable value as restoration cost ( invoices with car ) exceed 40K . I should keep it but I have 5 VW's and 4 356's I bought it spontaneously and have enjoyed it but it needs to be in the hands of someone who can drive it and show it more frequently, it needs nothing but a quick wash to show anywhere , the VW show or any cruise .
I am selling it for exactly what I paid for it , all I have done is paint the floorboards with POR 15 and change the oil . If you like VW's this is a great car ! |

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
