1967 Beetle, first year of 12 volt. 1600 dualport engine with Bugpack shifter and quad exhaust. Single carb. Original pan and heater channels. Originally a "left"coast/ New Mexico car, hence the original sheetmetal. Bumper guards, backup lights and roofrack . New weatherstripping and the runningboards are solid and all gaps line up just fine. Doors, hood and trunk all close as they should, no sagging or mis-alignment.Suspension was gone through and all parts were replaced with new factory components. Chrome hardware shines with a couple of small imperfections. Interior, headliner and dash are perfect and uncut or modified with original VDO gauges, gas & speedometer. The DS seat needed new foam so the previous owner redid the entire interior. The fabric under the rear window is starting to lift by 1 corner. All glass is clear and not foggy or cracked. The PS front window rubber is starting to crack. Easy fix for about $30.00. The original taillights are starting to "fog" up but they are 46 years old.The side rear windows do not popout. That was an option on 1967 models .Rockford Fosgate in dash CD player with remote. Painted two tone in the early 2000's and has been stored indoors in a heated building since. The colors are Frontier Beige / Bombay Ivory. This Beetle runs /stops and steers great but the brakes should be bled due to long-term storage. I did drive it today and the steering is tight, shifts just fine but I suggest going through the brakes prior to any long distance travel. Tires are 100% tread also. Original jack and spare tire along with hubcaps and VIN plate and seatbelts along with owner's manual. The original color was red but the bodywork and paint are first class with no short cuts or shoddy workmanship evident. Wheelwells and fenders are all metal, no filler, anywhere!! I "chased" this car for ten years from the prior eccentric owner. Look at the pictures and you be the judge. Compare this 1967 to others that are for sale. It always draws a crowd, whether it is driven, parked or at a car show. As always, I strongly advise that this car be looked at in person and I will gladly store indoors until pickup. This VW was on a cover of a local magazine as a first prize in a contest prior to my ownership. I have a copy of the magazine with pictures. See the last picture. I am sure I forgot some of the specifics so just inquire and I will answer all questions as best I can. Odometer shows 45,000 miles. I know that there are less than 10,000 miles since the larger engine was installed and the body was refreshed. Clear title and I am not looking for any trades at this time. Bidders with less than 10 positive feedbacks will be cancelled. A $500.00 deposit (non-refundable) is due 5 days after the auction ends. Balance to paid in cash prior to the new owner's possession. Car is also for sale locally and I can cancel this auction at anytime. I am downsizing my collection and this vehicle is being sold as is due to it being 46/47 years old. No surfboard is included with this Beetle. Check my feedback and bid/own with confidence. I can store this 1967 Beetle until Christmas or Spring 2014. Located 30 minutes from S.Bend airport

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal
Tue, Aug 18 2020WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."Â
