1968 Volkswagen Bug Beetle Classic Passenger Car With Tow Bar on 2040-cars
Eaton, Colorado, United States
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! |

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
