1968 Volkswagen Bug Beetle Classic Passenger Car With Tow Bar on 2040-cars

Year:1968 Mileage:103000
Location:

Eaton, Colorado, United States

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!

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

Watch the VW E-Golf get made

Fri, Jun 13 2014

If you've ever been on a tour of an automotive factory, you know how mesmerizing it can be to see humans and robots work together to build our four-wheeled friends. The swift automation, the cleanliness, the trained hands deftly fitting pieces together and watchful eyes inspecting every piece of the car, it's all quite impressive, especially if the vehicle is one you, as an observer, are fond of. Even just seeing a fresh, gleaming badge being applied to immaculately painted sheet metal is enough to curl ones toes. Such is the case with this video from of the E-Golf being pieced together in the Volkswagen's Wolfsburg plant. There's no narration or music - just the sounds of production - so it's easy to follow the singular motions that go into the process without distraction, with a slight sense of actually being on the floor. This solo video is only seven minutes long, so it's not quite the epic that was the BMW i3 production series. Therefore, we miss a lot of the initial build, such as pressing the sheet metal, painting, and putting together a lot of the inner workings. What is refreshing to see is how much of the final touches of the electric Golf are done by hand using actual hand tools (and with typical German efficiency). There's even a person riding a bicycle through the factory at one point, which is common at Wolfsburg and also rather quaint. Enjoy the video below, and if you have a suggestion for a good soundtrack to go along with it, sound off in the comments. This content is hosted by a third party.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
