Up for auction is a very nice looking and driving 1967 VW Bug. It's not prefect, does have some scratches and chips. Nearly all orginal with less then 62000 miles. As most may know the 1967 Beetle has many one year only features. Be sure to read the entire listing prior to bidding.
Body and Interior: The body is in great shape but like stated above does have some scratches and chips in the paint. I tried to document them all in the pictures. The biggest issues are the front right fender is a little misshapen from a runaway trash can and the tire will rub it during hard braking or cornering. The left rear fender has some paint chipped off and a crack in it. The paint is obvious. The crack is hard to see unless looking the car over closely. The right rear fender has a ding in it near the bumper with some airbrushing over it. The ding was in it when I bought the car and it looks like the previous owner did some airbrushing to cover it up. The right quarter has scratches from my wife while the car was in the garage. I'll leave that one alone! Also, right below the drivers door upper hinge there are some paint chips from when the hinge pin was replaced. The interior is in pretty good shape. The seats where recovered at some point and a carpet kit added. The carpet could use some adhesive in spots. The head liner I believe to be original and in great shap for it's age. I'm not sure why but the bonnet is from a 1968 Bug. It has the air vent in it. I think the previous owner wanted to add forced air heat because the air intake box is there but not installed. I never bothered with it and put some tape ove the opening to keep water out if I got caught in the rain. All the glass is original with exception of the windshield. Steering wheel has cracks and missing the horn button. Dash is in great shape with the exception of the aftermarket radio. Floor pan is near prefect, no rust and only minor dings. No rust under the battery either.
Electrical: Everything works, lights, horn and turn signals. The hazards do not work. Why??? The radio is a JVC with USB port for ipod or other MP3 device. It also has kick panel speakers.
Drivetrain and Brakes: Brakes are all new with new master cylinder and new wheel cylinders in the rear and almost all the plumbing replaced. Stops are predictable and straight. The tires are new. Transmission is original and shifts well through all gears although it does have some of the old bug oil leaks. The rear of the car was lowered a little. I'm guessing by turning the torsion bars. It has a pretty cool stance but personally I prefer the front lowered on these cars.
Engine: The motor is a 1915 cc dual port. The serial number on the block is for a 1979 Super Beetle. When original 1500 cc let go I ordered the current motor as a turn-key. So everthing is new. New clutch, flywheel, generator, distributor, tins, carb and manifolds. The carb is a Weber DFEV 32/36 progressive. The distributor is a Pertronix Flame Thrower electronic ignition. I also installed a full flow oil pump and external oil filter mostly to add an extra quart of oil.
Now the bad. The motor was installed about a month ago and I've been fighting to keep it running cool. Triple checked the valve adjustment and timing. Carburetor adjustments havn't helped either. I starts right up when cold and can idle all day without getting hot but driving it more than 20 miles it starts to run warm, misfires and will be hard to start till it cools back off a little. All the tins are in place and I've tried everything except putting a huge external oil cooler on it. I think it's time for someone else to give it a shot.
I'm also including all the spare parts and special VW tools I have with the sale of the car. If the winning bidder wants the tins, manifold, carb and single port cylinder heads from the original motor they can have that too. I do not have the block.
I'm setting the reserve low because I can't say for sure why it runs hot. The reserve is more than $1000 less than what is in the motor alone!
Buyer will be responsible for pick-up or shipping. The car will not leave my possession without full payment. Cash is good but I will take PayPal for the full sale price. There will also be a $500 non-refundable deposit due at the close of the auction. Please only bid if you are serious about buying.
On May-30-13 at 18:01:52 PDT, seller added the following information:
A few miscellaneous things I forgot. The motor has a fully degreed pulley on it so it's easy to check and set timing. It has a Engle 110 performance camshaft. You can start the motor and let it idle all day long and it will not get above 190 degrees oil temp. Only gets warm after driving. I only put about 100 miles on the engine. My next step was to pull the motor back out and remove all the tins to make sure the air is going where it needs to go. The tins were preinstalled when I received the motor I didn't see the need to take them off then.
I love this car but I've reached the end of my patience and budget for this project and it's time to move onto others. Someone is going to end up with a screaming deal on a pretty sweat ride. I'm sure I forgot something else so be sure to ask questions.

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.

BMW, VW partner with ChargePoint for high-speed charging network
Thu, Jan 22 2015To promote their plug-in electric vehicles, a number of electric vehicle makers are working overtime to get a charging infrastructure set up. Tesla is famously setting up a network of Superchargers around the world, and today BMW and VW have announced they are partnering with ChargePoint to install almost 100 DC Fast Chargers up and down the US coasts. Installing additional Level 2 chargers is also part of the plan. The new DC Fast Chargers will offer the SAE Combo connectors, which is available on both the e-Golf and the i3. The fast chargers will have "up to two 50 kW DC Fast chargers, or 24 kW DC Combo Fast chargers," BMW says. They will be installed roughly 50 miles apart between Boston and Washington, DC in the east as well as Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego in the west. The 24-kW DC Fast Chargers will fill up an empty i3 or e-Golf to 80 percent in a half-hour or 3.5-4 hours from the Level 2 cords. Speaking at an announcement ceremony at the Washington Auto Show today, ChargePoint CEO Pasquale Romano said that infrastructure investments like this will get more people to realize that they can use an electric vehicle as their only car, and Jorg Sommer, VP of product marketing and strategy for VW North America, said that it's clear that, "The EV is perfect for the daily driver." BMW, Volkswagen and ChargePoint Join Forces to Create Electric Vehicle Express Charging Corridors on the East and West Coasts. · A goal of nearly 100 DC Fast charging ports will be installed to support long distance and metropolitan electric vehicle travel with the BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf and other electric cars, along heavily trafficked corridors on both coasts, supported by Level 2 chargers. · These publicly available charging stations will be added to the existing ChargePoint network and can be easily accessed using a ChargePoint® or ChargeNow card. Washington, D.C., January 22, 2015 – At the 2015 Washington Auto Show, two of the top automakers, BMW of North America and Volkswagen of America, together with ChargePoint, the largest electric vehicle charging network, announced an initiative to create express charging corridors along heavily-traveled routes on the East and West Coasts.
