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.

Giorgetto Giugiaro sells shares in legendary styling house to Audi
Sat, Jul 4 2015Giorgetto Giugiaro undoubtedly stands among the great automotive designers of the 20th century, having penned the original Volkswagen Golf and Delorean DMC-12, among countless others. However, the great stylist is now longer an employee or even an owner of the company that bears his name. According to Automotive News, Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio, sold their remaining 9.9 percent of Italdesign Giugiaro to Audi on Sunday, June 28, and the two resigned from the business the following day. The news about this just came out, though. The exact reason that the two men left the company hasn't been made entirely clear. According to Automotive News, a statement said that Giorgetto Giugiaro went "to dedicate more time to his personal interests." Italdesign Giugiaro remains open and intends to keep growing, though, the same announcement asserts. After stints at Bertone and Ghia, Giugiaro founded Italdesign in 1968. He created some masterpieces there, including '70s wedges like Maserati Merak, Lotus Esprit, and much more. The 2000s weren't so kind and 90.1 percent of the company was sold to Volkswagen Group in 2010. Former Audi design boss Wolfgang Egger took over styling duties there in late 2013, but he only lasted for about a year, leaving in late 2014. Since the sale, Italdesign has continued to work, including with the Gea concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and the very mean-looking Parcour in 2013. Giugiaro's designs are still highly prized, as well. On September 5, Bonhams is auctioning the Maserati Boomerang concept by him and expects to get around $4 million for it. The gallery above offers a few more examples of his and Italdesign's concepts for VW Group over the years.
VW close to decision on selling Bugatti to Rimac
Sun, Feb 21 2021FRANKFURT — Electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili and Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti are a good technological fit, Porsche's CEO told German weekly Automobilwoche, fueling hopes that a deal between the two could happen soon. British automotive magazine Car last year reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of selling Bugatti to Rimac Automobili, citing sources. In exchange, Porsche, also owned by Volkswagen, would raise the 15.5% stake it owns in Rimac, founded by Croatian entrepreneur Mate Rimac, Car said. "At the moment there are intense deliberations on how Bugatti can be developed in the best possible way. Rimac could play a role here because the brands are a good technological fit," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. "There are various scenarios with different structures. I believe that the issue will be decided by the group in the first half of the year," said Blume, who also sits on the management board of parent Volkswagen. Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which he supplies to other carmakers, including Pininfarina. Blume also confirmed higher savings targets for Porsche, saying the carmaker plans to support results by 10 billion euros ($12.1 billion) of cost cuts by 2025, up from 6 billion previously.

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.
