1964 Beetle/1 Original Celebrity Owner/original Condition/trailer/mini Bike Incl on 2040-cars
Glendale, Arizona, United States
1964 One original celebrity owner bug, bought new and owned since new by Margaret A Peterson (AKA "Maggie Peterson"-Charlene Darling") Girlfriend on the hit TV "The Andy Griffith Show" (see picture) My darling drove this around to studios and filming for the show and to many events throughout the years. After it was parked in the garge for a long number of years we decided to bring it out and get it road worthy to enjoy again. We did not have it painted, just buffed up and it looks pretty good with some minor blemishes. We had it painted the same color many many years ago and have always enjoyed looking at it even under the garage dust. We had all new rubber moldings around doors, all windows, front and rear hatch etc. Had it tuned up and new tires put all the way around it. We then decided to freshen up the inside a bit so we also ordered from Wolfsburg new factory seat covers and also the horse hair padding. In all we spent about 3k to get it back on the road and driving well. Its been super fun but again has sat now for about a year and we cant drive it. The little trailer was also made in Germany, it folds up and has rails that fit around it (all complete in bag) We restored several vintage mini bikes over the years that match our cars, the one pictured here also goes with this package. We have the spare tire/wheel and jack, plus some new chrome window moldings. All in all it is a nice little fun car that cruises around well. Included are trailer and mini bike.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
