Beautiful 1961 Volkswagen Classic Beetle, Full Frame-Up restoration less than 5,000 miles ago, over $22,000 invested in a 2 1/2 year restortation process by Custom Designs and JJ's Auto in Williams, AZ! Starting with a Southern California rust-free 1961 body and frame, the vehicle was completely stripped and rebuilt from the ground up, including transplanting a 1976, 1600 CC motor, transmission and transaxle with only 76,000 original miles from another Southern Cal rust-free Beetle. $4700 custom paint job, new interior and headliner, new chrome bumpers, hubcaps, new wheels and tires, brakes, suspension, battery, converted electrical system to 12 volt, heat exchangers, seat belts added for safety, AM/FM classic look radio, window rubbers, running boards etc etc etc. If it needed it, it got it! Also includes original classic VW wire basket roof rack and new car cover.
This Beetle attracts attention everywhere it goes and is an award-winning car, taking Best Foreign Vehicle at the 2012 Williams Cool-Country Cruise-In against dozens of other outstanding cars and trucks. Great runner, needs absolutely nothing, just hop in and enjoy a trip back to the 60s! Only imperfections are a slight paint crack on the edge of the front hood where it flexes on the stock hood prop (not casually noticeable and I use an additional front prop to hold the lid open for fueling and shows); also foam that was injected into dash to stop air leaks expanded into air grill (see pics for both). Reluctantly selling as my wife and I are retiring and intend to spend the majority of our time traveling so hoping it goes to someone who will really appreciate and drive it! Beetle is being sold as-is, where-is with NO RESERVE! Potential bidders are welcome and encouraged to inspect the Bug in-person in Williams AZ, gateway to the Grand Canyon - cruise it down Route 66 for the perfect test drive!

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
