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 Clean Washington Title, owned since 1975. 1. Runs good (83,117 on odometer & Miles on new engine) Additional items |

Electrify Expo is an all-electrified auto show like the old days
Sun, Aug 6 2023In late July, Autoblog swung by Washington, D.C. to check out the Electrify Expo. Now in its third year of nationwide shows, the Electrify Expo calls itself “North America's largest electric vehicle festival filled with over 1 million square feet of the world's top electric brands.” At every stop, visitors can find out about, crawl around in, drive and ride just about any personal conveyance that uses a battery for propulsion. Truth be told, when the show's PR team reached out to us with an invite, we only considered going after finding out about an area showcasing battery-electric tuner cars. EV tuning is undoubtedly going to be huge—eventually—which got us curious about these early days. We figured weÂ’d brave whatever the rest of the expo was to find out whatÂ’s the equivalent of nitrous for a Tesla. See, the EV event scene is still such that one never knows if theyÂ’ll show up to a mix of science and county fairs with a few cars on display just for truth in advertising, or if theyÂ’ll show up to a parking lot with 26 cars, 10 of them locked, 10 of them homemade, and 6 guarded by promotional hires desperate to tap all your identifying info a tablet before dispensing dubious and superficial information. Which is to say, we didnÂ’t expect much. And that makes us chuffed to report: Electrify Expo is great. We hadnÂ’t been strolling the lot outside the old RFK Stadium for five minutes before thinking, “This feels like an old-school auto show!” The exclamation to that point came from a group of four who cut me off to reach the C40 Recharge in the Volvo booth, one of them exclaiming as if he were the group expert and as if his friends were deaf, “THATÂ’S THE LEAST EXPENSIVE ONE! AND ITÂ’S BEEEE-YOUUUUU-TI-FULLLLLL!” I wasnÂ’t there to judge, I was there for the enthusiasm. Automakers had built small, simple, open booths, parked cars in them, then provided visitors the kind of interactions that will do the most good for anyone wondering about or interested in an EV. We only saw two cars that were off limits, the new Volkswagen ID.Buzz and the Ford F-100 Eluminator. Volvo wouldnÂ’t let me get an espresso from their chic little trailer, either, unless I visited the EX90 Experience trailer first. Otherwise, it was a free-for-all. Tesla had a large booth full of cars. BMW had two i7s open for everyone to sit in, next to the Ford booth with that Eluminator and an unlocked Mustang Mach-E GT and F-150 Lightning showing their cooler-chest-frunk trick.
