1967 VW Bug Convertible This volkswagen has what appears to be the original Savannah Beige paint job from the factory (except for the front driver's side fender) and it still looks nice considering the age. It has the original owner's manual, tool bag, and jack. The two sets of keys are original and open the doors as well as the trunk lock. I have a clear AZ title, and it runs well.
It was in garaged storage for 25 years from 1982 until I purchased in 2007. It was owned by a NASA engineer for the majority of its life. (I can share more details if you like.)
The clutch, tires, brakes [all new drums, shoes, master cylinder, lines], fuel lines, carburetor, fuel pump, engine electrical components have been replaced. The seats were reupholstered with Wolfsburg West components to make it a fun driver. I drive it to work frequently (50 miles round trip) when it is nice out.
The original engine and 4 speed manual transmission run well. I can keep up with traffic at 70mph. The heater works and the heater channels are in good shape. The horn, blinkers, reverse lights, brake lights, speedometer, hazard lights all work. The windows are all roll up and down. The brakes work well (nearly every component in the brake system was replaced.)
The top needs to be repaired as the original top was cracked and in need of repair (the frame moves up and down, but needs front bow repaired, headliner, & top...I estimate ~$3k to repair the top.)
I keep it covered and only drive it when there is no chance of rain. The floorboard needs repair on the backseat floorboard (please see pictures.) The original AM "All Transistor" radio does not work, but the dashboard has not been butchered.
This car is nothing but fun. I get constant compliments on it. It was given 2nd place in class at the 2011 Phoenix Bugorama. The car (1 of 7,597 convertibles made in 1967) is in mostly original condition. I have a "birth certificate" from VW that I can provide you if you would like. This is a good car to enjoy as-is or to restore to perfection.
Please take a look at the pictures in the link below that show the car when it was found in a garage, the work done to it, many close ups pictures, and how it looks today.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
