This car has been in my family for over 30 years and so I am sad to sell it, but it has been sitting, waiting for the restoration I thought about with good intentions, but never got the time or the money to make it a reality.  I would like to see it go to someone who will restore this beauty to mint with original white top, white seats, whitewalls, etc. as I can remember when I was 5.


This is a 1962 Volkswagen Karmann Convertible with all original body, the convertible top has been replaced, and I have put seat covers over the original white seats, both front and back.  
The original engine has been replaced with a 1964.  This had already been replaced by the owner prior to when my uncle bought it originally.

This car has been sitting outside, under the tarp for the last 10+ years.  It was running well until I stopped driving it and parked it then.    
In preparation for the restoration that I never got to, I had purchased over a thousand dollars worth of parts such as: floor pans, heater channels, running boards, carpet, brake shoes, etc ...I am including all of these parts that you see pictured along with the sale of the car.

a few notes...
The car has been converted to the 12 Volt system instead of the 6 Volt as it was originally.
The bumpers were lost in a move.
I do have the title.


I have honestly tried, to the best of my ability, disclose the condition of the car.  If you have any questions or would like me to send any particular pictures, let me know and I will be happy to do that.  All sales are final and "as is"and a $2000 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours after the end of the auction.  The remaining balance may be paid on pickup or after auction end via cash, or bank transfer. Local pickup only- Buyer is responsible for the loading and transportation of the vehicle.  Arrangement for pickup may be made after the purchase. Please pick up the vehicle within 1 month of purchase or I reserve the right to keep the deposit and relist the car.  Any bidders who do not pay will be reported to ebay. Please bid only if you intend to purchase according to the parameters of the sale.

Thanks for looking! Good luck!!!

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
