1966 CLASSIC VW BETTLE
PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED DESIRABLE METAL SUNROOF
This car is a beautifully restored
1966 CLASSIC VW BEETLE. It was a ground
up restoration that was completed in 2009. The car is absolutely beautiful. This
is a car that you will be proud to own!
All systems in this car are in
perfect working order. This car has not seen rain since its restoration in 2009
and it has been carefully garaged and maintained.
This was originally equipped with a
1300cc motor, but it was replaced with a remanufactured 1600cc motor from 1970
for some extra power. The carburetor is
a new Solex unit with a modern air filter for better performance.
As far as driving manners, this car
is a total class act. It starts easily, and the drive train responds
beautifully as you would expect from a car restored to this standard. The
suspension is very sure-footed on the road and when you hit a bump, it responds
properly without rattles or shudders. The car was recently converted to front
disc brakes and it has excellent braking under all
conditions. Way better than drums!
The body on this car is absolutely
beautiful! The body work is of excellent quality; this is the handiwork of a superior shop. The color
is an original VW color (Sea Blue). Most of the chrome in this car is new, but
some of the chrome hardware is original (like the window cranks and interior
door handles). The original chrome shows a little bit of pitting, but it gives
a little bit of patina and charm. This
restoration is from 2009, so naturally, there may be a little bit of surface
rust here and there in the undercarriage, the exhaust pipes, and on the pan.
Nothing to worry about.
Inside, the car has an incredible
amount of charm, the sunroof gives it a great airy feel. An original working
radio is included. You can’t help but smile in this car J
The car is being sold due to a
spouse complaining about too many toys.
A full-size spare tire is included
with the car, it just missed the photo shoot.

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
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.
