 Thanks for checking out my ad! I'm the second owner of this mostly original, stock, vintage, California,1964 Bug. You can use it as a daily driver or drive her just on the weekends and to the car shows as I have been doing. She's not perfect but she's pretty darn close! Be prepared to get compliments and questions from those that see her.

The original floor pan is solid and has zero rust. She starts every time and drives smoothly and with plenty of power. I installed a newly rebuilt 1600 dual port engine and I've put less than 4000 miles on it. It also has a new .009 distributor with electronic ignition, plus all new, carburetor, oil pump, oil cooler, dog house tins, and fuel pump. It's been converted to a 12 volt system with new starter, head light buckets and bulbs and a new 12 volt battery. She's got new tires, and the tranny, shocks and brakes are in excellent condition. My mechanic told me once that the heater isn't hooked up but since I never drive her when it's cold or raining I never bothered to do it.

To maintain that vintage style I left the 8-track player in the dash but it's not hooked up(it's a 6 volt). I put in a new 4-1/2" two-way speaker in the dash, an amp and plug for an Ipod ( Ipod is NOT INCLUDED ) to listen to while cruising. The interior is in overall excellent, clean condition (I'm a non-smoker). There are no tears or rips in the original seats or door panels. The original headliner does show some patina but is in tact. Carpets are original and still in great shape but just slightly on the thin side. The floor mats are new. I have put new VW rubber pads on the clutch and brake pedals.

The exterior paint does have some minor wear and chips but these aren't noticable (see photo) and only add to the patina. The luggage rack is included with the car as well as the mud flaps and the cheese grater on the exhaust pipes. The window scraper on the driver's door does need to be replaced (see photo) but all other rubber is in good condition. The winning bidder will also get a brand new pair of all steel 2-1/2" dropped spindles that I got from California Imports (a $100.00 value) and never got around to installing, also some new interior door handles and window cranks, and even a custom fit car-cover!!!

I hope you contact me if you have any questions and they will be gladly answered. The winning bidder is responsible for pick-up and or transportation after payment by cashier's check or money order is received and verified. Good luck and happy bidding!

I listed the engine as dual port but it is actually the more reliable single port engine. All the mechanics and electrical were done by Jim's VW Repair in Lodi, CA. I;m sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
