Here we have a nice 1955 VW Beetle for your driving pleasure. This was purchased by me in July 2011 in order to bring back my youth. I recently purchased a 2013 VW convertible limited 50's special edition so I feel it is time to let someone else enjoy this 1955. I've had a great deal of fun driving the '55 and it has been reliable. Here are the particulars; It has the original interior (Red German Vinyl) which has NO rips or tears, just the normal wear for its age. The same goes for the carpet. The headliner is a nice replacement. Original instruments function properly. The original steering wheel shows the normal wear. The body had been repainted several years prior to my ownership. Little if any rust. The car spent many years in CA and AZ. The hood (as seen in the pictures) has a slight wrinkle on the drivers side when it was improperly closed without real easing the latch. It does close and latch properly. The semaphores had worked properly until recently when I decided to unplug them as they need some minor tweaking to release properly. The regular turn signals will work properly both front and rear if the semaphores are reconnected. The bumpers have decent chrome for their age. Prior to my ownership, a newer engine and correct transmission (with synchromesh) was installed. The engine # is H5775270. As stated it runs very well. It has a 12 volt electrical system and upgraded disc brakes in the front. When the engine was installed they did not set it up with a heater function as it was used in a warm climate. The tires have many miles remaining on the tread. The original owners manual will be included. It has a clean Nebraska title and I will supply a "Bill of Sale" as well. I will attempt to answer any questions you may have. I can be reached at 402- 488-8826. This car will make a vintage VW enthusiast happy with its drivability and historical attributes. The car is located in Lincoln NE and any shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will assist in any way I can with the shipper. Your are welcome to inspect the car in person if you wish. I want to be as honest as possible in my description. This car is being sold without any warranty written or implied because of it vintage.

A fix and buyback program for Audi V6 diesels may be on the way
Tue, Nov 15 2016While Volkswagen reached a settlement to buy back 2.0-liter diesel inline-fours with emissions defeat devices, the roughly 80,000 cars with 3.0-liter diesel V6s built by Audi have yet to be addressed. But a new report from Bloomberg indicates that a solution is near. The publication says that sources familiar with the situation say the company has a fix ready for the majority of the cars, and that the EPA and California Air Resources Board are ready to approve it. According to Bloomberg, this fix would involve a software update and would work for about 60,000 of the Audi A8, Q5, Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and VW Touareg models with the engine. The rest of the vehicles won't be fixable without major modification, so those would have to be purchased back from the owners. Bloomberg does point out that approval from the EPA and CARB are only one piece of the puzzle. The publication said that this deal has yet to be approved by owners of the cars and the Federal Trade Commission, both of which may demand that VW offer a buyback to all owners, even those whose cars can be fixed. The good news for owners of VW products with this engine, is that they should have some closure pretty soon. And owners that still like their diesel V6 can take solace that they might actually be able to get them fixed, as opposed to owners of the 2.0-liter diesels. VW offered buybacks to owners of all 475,000 cars with the turbo four-cylinders, or a fix when it's available. However, there have been no signs of an approved fix.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
France may scrap diesel fuel subsidies in wake of VW scandal
Tue, Oct 13 2015Now that a particular German automaker has sneezed, it appears that French automotive subsidies will catch a cold. Count France among the growing legion of countries not happy about Volkswagen's admission that some of its diesel vehicles contain software that will artificially reduce emissions levels during testing. As a result, the French government is talking about reducing or eliminating diesel subsidies that make diesel fuel about 15 cents per liter (roughly 89 cents a gallon) cheaper than gas. The change would tax gas and diesel at the same rate. France may end the diesel tax credits as soon as the next fiscal year, Bloomberg News says, citing comments from French Environment Minister Segolene Royal this week. About two-thirds of the cars on France's roads are diesel, according to the CCFA, the French automaker association. In fact, diesels accounted for more than half of the new light-duty vehicles sold in Europe last year. That may drop to 35 percent by 2022 in part because of the scandal, according to automotive consultant LMC Automotive. Things could change even more France is considering letting more vehicles qualify for the 10,000-euro incentive for switching from old diesels to new plug-in vehicles. Last month, VW said that its cheater software might be installed in as many as 11 million vehicles, forcing the German automaker to set aside $7.3 billion to address the fallout from the scandal. Among other issues, VW and its Audi division were stripped of its Green Car of the Year Awards for the first time in the history of the awards bestowed by Green Car Journal. The scandal also forced Martin Winterkorn to resign as VW's CEO last month after eight years on the job and is delaying a number of the automaker's upcoming projects.
