1968 Convertible *** No Reserve *** No Reserve * Runs Great on 2040-cars
Madera, California, United States
|
1968 Volkswagen Convertible w/ dual port single carb 1600. Runs really good. It will do about 70 mph in 3rd gear. New clutch shifts very smooth through all gears w/ no pop outs. The paint in brand new but was not a very good job. Looks really good at a distance and in the pictures then it does up close and personal. The front windshield, hood, Empi rims, front and rear bumper all 4 tires and rear shocks are all brand new. Newer carpet with interior rustproofing/soundproofing was applied when the seats and carpet was professionally redone. Has low backs in it. It also has a brand new am/fm cd player that's in the glovebox. The engine runs good. The transmission shifts good. The car drives okay but will need some attention to the front end. Maybe just shocks or tie rod ends would be my guess. It's a California car with a clean title and current registration. All the lights and blinkers work. The speedo and odometer work. But I am certain the mileage has turned over. The horn was rewired and was working until it didn't want to shut off one day so it's disconnected. Now for the really bad part. The convertible top works opens and shuts but will eventually need to be replace. Its starting to show some wear. The heater/frame rails and battery tray are in really bad condition as you can see in the pictures everything else underneath seems to be pretty solid. ( please see pics ). I will be happy to answer any questions. This vehicle is not sold with any kind of warranty and it is being sold as is. So please ask any questions you may have. I have tried to explain everything to the best of my knowledge. Once the auction has ended a $500 deposit must be made within 48 hours. The remainder of the balance to be paid in full with in 3 days or if we make other arrangements. Any bidders with a feedback score of 10 or less must contact before placing a bid or your bid will be canceled. That doesn't mean you cant bid. It just means that I would like to speak with you before placing a bid. Thanks 4 looking and good luck if your bidding. Shipping and all costs related to shipping will be the winning bidders responsibility. I will assist if needed. Thank again |

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging.

Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS.

The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
