The particulars of the BUG are as follows: * One family owned (mine) since new. Original California bug purchased new in Fresno. First year ownership remained in CA., then 47 years in Arizonia.

Everybody loves a BUG...everywhere it goes, it draws attention and makes people smile. The most important aspect for one to consider if they plan to restore a BUG is rust. Aspect negated...there is NO RUST here... The BUG is worthy of a restoration. Parts are inexpensive, readily available and these are among the easiest of cars to work on. Any novice could undertake this as it would make a great individual, father/son or mother/daughter project. You are bidding to purchase the BUG, not to be the first to "look at it". Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. It's a low dough car...one that shouldn't require permission. Thank you. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. I have set a reasonable reserve for the BUG. It is commensurate with the condition, ownership history and low miles. Please do not ask what the reserve is, I will not disclose it. Again, this is an inexpensive car. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the "classic" 1965 VW Sunroof BUG that you see before you. The VW and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. Transportation and/or shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) I can also recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. While I am confident that the BUG could be driven home to anywhere in America, I do not recommend driving it home. Old cars are just that...old cars. Miles from home is not the place to become acquainted with your "new" old car. Get it home first. With that said, if you choose to drive it home, I can't stop you, and I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. * Important Condition: If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, years of inactivity on eBay, excessive negative feedback, or less than 10 quality transactions (yeah, that order of PEEPS won't count), you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions, otherwise, your bid will be canceled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This simple guideline is in place to preserve the integrity of the auction. My experience is that if one has little feedback, there is no incentive to fulfill a purchase commitment, for negative feedback is of no concern to this individual. The people that are regular ebayer's care about their buying/seller's rating(s). Thank you. A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable within 24 hours of auction close VIA PayPal, no exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 5 days thereafter, under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance, as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will accept PayPal for the entire amount, however, ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the initial payment fee. (approx. $30.00 per $1000.00) eBay provides for only 24 pictures, I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a brief message, and I will return your call promptly. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me and PRESENT your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" Be thinking in the $5500-$6500 range. Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. If the VW is destined to leave the country, I have shipped numerous times abroad and have contacts to assist in facilitating this. The VW and title will not be released until full payment has been received. I am not a dealer, I am a collector hobbyist that is downsizing. 100% eBay satisfaction, those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased with their cars, their expectations exceeded. Clear Colorado title in my name. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid on this 50 year old "classic" VW BUG! Jeff (719)-492-1234,c |

Audi buys Ballard fuel cell patents for $80 million
Wed, Feb 11 2015While some auto companies (e.g., Toyota and Hyundai) are giving away some hydrogen fuel cell patents, others are paying a pretty penny to gain access to the H2 tech. Audi announced today that it has purchased a suite of fuel-cell patent from Ballard Power Systems. The deal between Volkswagen Group and the Canadian fuel cell pioneer is worth over $80 million US. Unsurprisingly, the value of Ballard's stock shot up about a dollar (to $2.61 as of this writing) on the announcement. VW and Ballard will also extend their development agreement, originally scheduled to end in 2017, to March 2019, and possibly another two years after that. Thus far, the deal – which revolves around the "design and manufacture of next-generation fuel cell stacks" for VW's H2 demonstration program – and Ballard says it is a leader in "critical areas of fuel cell product design – including the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), plate and stack components – along with certain testing and integration work." At the LA Auto Show last fall, VW showed off a Golf SportWagen and a Passat with a hydrogen hybrid HyMotion powertrain as well as a Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron Quattro. Audi buys fuel-cell patents from Ballard Power Systems Development agreement with Ballard extended until 2019 Audi's Head of Development Prof. Hackenberg: "The entire VW Group will use these patents." Ingolstadt/Burnaby, February 11, 2015 – AUDI AG has acquired a package of patents relating to fuel-cell technology from Ballard Power Systems Inc. In addition, the Volkswagen Group has extended its cooperation with the Canadian clean energy company until 2019. The purchase of these patents will provide new impetus for the development of fuel-cell drive systems at Audi, VW and the Volkswagen Group. As explained by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG and responsible for the steering of the development departments of all brands in the VW Group: "Audi is acquiring these strategically important patents for the entire group and will make them available to all the brands. In this way, we are securing crucial expertise that will provide new impetus for the further development of this technology." Ballard Power Systems Inc. is based in Burnaby, Canada, and is one of the world's leading companies in the technology of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
