This is a 1968 Volkswagen bug, the odometer shows under 103,000 miles which I believe to be original. Color inside and out is red and in good shape but has some small stone chips from driving on gravel roads which I tried to reflect in my pictures so please look at pictures carefully. This car was first sold by Vern Hagestad Motor Co. in Denver Colorado on January 31, 1968. This car spent much of its life in Arizona and as a result it is NOT all rusted out in the fenders and running board as so many of these cars are. I have had much work done to the car mechanically to make it dependable and a nice driver. Repairs are as follows, Rebuilt Engine -- Rebuilt Transmission -- New Fuel Pump -- New Clutch -- New Carburetor -- New Brake Drums and Shoes -- New Wheel Cylinders -- New Wheel Bearings and Seals -- New Axle Boots. The interior is in good shape but NOT perfect. The passenger seat has some sun spot near head rest and upholstery repair under the rear window. Side carpet in front shows wear as you can see from picture but comes with new side carpet not installed and I may have missed a few other flaws. Car comes with VW tow bar and original owner's manual which has the chassis number and the engine number, both match the number of the chassis and engine presently in the car. All work done less than 2,000 miles ago. This car runs great and is ready to go anywhere.

Sellers note: If you are looking for a original VW bug you would have to look a long time to find one this clean. I got this for my wife who lost interest in it and this is why I am selling it. Except for when it was driven it was stored inside, out of sun and weather. If winning bidder wants to fly in to pick up this car and drive it home I would be willing to pick you up in Denver (DIA) which is about a 60 mile drive and help you get a transit sticker from DMV so it can be driven to its new home.

I am listing this car for my brother but will stand behind anything stated in this listing. I have a few other items listed so please check out my other items!

Interested, then not: Marchionne not 'chasing' a VW merger

Tue, Mar 14 2017

Update (March 15, 2017) : Automotive News reports that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne, regarding the suggested VW and FCA merger, said in a press conference "I have no interest." He also said that he "will not call Matthias," the CEO of VW. He did add that he would be willing to entertain anything VW brings up, but he has "no intention of chasing him." Despite this, Marchionne still took a moment to reinforce his favorable stance concerning mergers and consolidation. Last week, Volkswagen's CEO Matthias Mueller effectively shut down Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne's idea of the two automakers merging. However, it seems Mueller has softened, if only just, to the idea. According to Reuters, the CEO said in a press conference he is "not ruling out a conversation." However, he did say that he would like Marchionne to discuss with him directly the possibility rather than to the media. Though this statement certainly doesn't mean such a merger is happening, it's far more open than when he said outright the company isn't in any talks with anyone at the moment. His new stance also indicates that there may be people (lawyers, accountants, etc.) behind the scenes working out possible ways a merger could work. And even though this new development makes the prospect of a merger between the two companies a bit less bleak, it's still a long way from the "will they, won't they" relationship between GM and FCA. FCA's pursuit of GM involved emailing CEO Mary Barra and the threats of a hostile takeover, the latter of which resulted in some awkward statements about hugs. Only time will tell if VW becomes open enough for Marchionne to talk about hugs again. Related Video:

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.
