Up for your bidding consideration is a VERY clean 1957 VW oval window beetle. The body & pan have matching numbers, and are rust free. I bought the car out of California a couple of years ago, and based on what the previous owner told me, the body & paint, along with the interior was done about 10 years ago. The paint is starting to show it's age a little, but still has great shine, perfect for a driver. Below is a list of what this car has.

Turbocharged 1915 engine, running 9 lbs of boost. Can run on 91 octane pump gas, but runs AWESOME on 110 octane!

Car Craft turbo header

Turbosmart waste gate

Weber 40 side draft carb

Full MSD ignition system with 6 BTM module

Autometer Tach, boost & oil pressure gauges

Full flow oiling with doghouse & external oil cooler with electric fan, and system one oil filter, all braided stainless hoses

Electric fuel pump with boost controlled regulator, braided stainless hoses

12 Volt electrical with alternator & Optima red top battery

Rancho Pro street transaxle, Gene Berg shifter

4 wheel disc brakes with braided stainless lines

Narrowed & dropped front beam

Digital DEHNE repro fuel level gauge

Wolfsburg West seat belts

Polished Porsche alloys with like new tires all around

Car is solid, and a blast to drive! It flat out hauls A$$!

The winning bidder will also get the "W" deck lid with the car.

The only reason I am selling it is to put money into another project I have going.

The only issues this car has is a minor crack in the driver's side front fender, and in the hood, right below the prop, which is common for a bug of this age. The aluminum sideplate on the transaxle drips a few drops of gear oil, needs to be re-sealed.

I have described the car to the best of my ability, and as always, this is a used car that is over 50 years old, and will be sold in "as-is" codition, with no warranty expressed or implied. Thanks for looking, and PLEASE do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have...

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.
