1966 Vw Beetle Original California Black Plate Beauty-no Reserve on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
NO RESERVE AUCTION Finished in classic Red and Black with
White interior, this 1966 VW Beetle is among the most sought after of all
classic Beetles. A very nice original
survivor. The 1600 dual port engine was powerful, frugal on gas, and could sing
at high RPM all day long. Although i
don't have any history or paperwork on the engine, the car was purchased from
the family of the original owner. There
is no engine smoke, it pulls very strong, and is nice and quiet with stock
exhaust. The 4 speed transmission shifts quite and smooth. This is an excellent collectable that can
double as a daily driver, strong and well-constructed. This
car has been maintained beautifully and is ready for a new owner to enjoy
immediately.
Car is extremely solid, heater
channels, floor pan and body and no rust. Fenders were repainted in black and were done professionally. The rest of the red paint appears to be
original color to the car and is very presentable with some small scratches and chips over the years. Interior is original to the car -
it's worn but held up very nice with some small rips and tears. All original factory glass with correct markings. Car is currently registered, insured and road
worthy. Please call Mike at 916-764-9759 with any questions. E-mail me for link to my Photobucket pictures. I reserve the right to end the auction early if a reasonable offer is made and accepted. ****************UPDATE************************************************* A friend of mine who worked for VW and has over 40 years of VW mechanic's experience, looked over my car and gave me the following information: 1. Engine case is marked AE which means that the engine is a 1971 - 1973 1600CC 2. engine has a dual port intake with an adaptor for the Solex H30-3 3. Stock style distributor 4. German Blaupunkt radio that works 5. He believes that this car was made for the German market but sold to an American Serviceman 6. He located a small rust hole under the battery about 1" by 3" not uncommon for these cars. 7. He took it for a drive and found that it runs and drives very nice, engine pulls strong and the trans up-shifts and down-shifts very smoothly. He was very impressed. Thanks.

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.
