1968 Volkswagen BUG - Ruby

2nd Owners - 39 Year Ownership

Thank you for checking out our little 1968 VW Bug. We have owned Ruby since 1975, we bought her from the 1st owner in San Anselmo, near San Francisco. I was in graduate school at the time, and really needed a good reliable vehicle, and this bug fit the ticket. After I graduated, we moved it back up to Seattle most of its life since we owned it. We did move down to California around 2005, were I was teaching at a university for a few years. Ruby been our daily driver for many years, being retired now, my wife and I (now 71 years young, my wife won't tell you how old she is, lol) have decided to let this nice little bug go after 39 years of ownership, it has been a great relationship. We have decided to want to do some traveling, so we are willing to let go of the reigns. I do have other photos, that I can email you as well. It does have new interior, very clean inside, NON Smoker vehicle. The headliner, is nice but does have a one small rip about 2" long in the rear. Overall the interior is very clean and we replaced many things to keep him looking good. It does have the Rear side windows that pop open. We replaced door gaskets, and hood gasket, it does not leak inside, very dry. We had it painted about 6 years ago. Ruby has always been Red, hence her name, no color change. The older paint was starting to show its age, had very minor dings in it, and scatches, but we decided that we would get her looking good again, so we had it professionally painted by a local shop. It looks very good, has minor chips from being driven, because we love to drive this bug. There are a couple small dings, on the drivers side rear fender, and one on the hood, minor but they are there. Mechanically it is in very good shape, the engine has been rebuilt a few years ago, it is a stock 1500 like it came with originally, we had it replaced, the engine has about 80K on it currently, but runs like a top, we have always had it serviced at local shops, and keeping the Valves adjusted is very important, so I always made sure it was done, even learned to do it myself during oil changes. The engine runs very smooth, and has good power. Has minor little oil leak, that if you know VW's this is pretty common, nothing to be concerned about. The transmission shifts very nicely, stays in gear, does not pop out. Transmission is in very good shape and trans axle boots are in good shape no cracked, the transmission has a little minor whine, but nothing major, works very good . The brakes are in great shape. The tires, are about 60% tread on them. I am very confident that someone could fly in and drive it home. Odometer reads 83111, but it has rolled over. Shipping may be cheaper, but I do trust it very much. Give me a call if you would like to talk about it more. Thanks, Glenn and Judy 425-232-9911

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
