You are looking at a 1972 Standard VW Beetle. This is not a Superbeetle. I realize the old joke that everyone has a California car. Well, this is NOT a California car, it is a Nevada car and I have the original owners manual dating back to 1972 to prove it. I truly believe this car to have 62k original miles. This car has been garage kept with Hagerty classic car insurance. I have owned this car for just over 4 years. It is a really nice solid VW bug. It runs and drives really well, and the transmission shifts just great.

Janis, as my wife calls her, had a low compression engine. The engine was pulled and pistons and cylinders were replaced, along with new rod bearings and valve job with guides on the heads. All the basic tune up parts were done. Carb was rebuilt and I replaced the distributor with a new Pertronix SVDA from Aircooled.net. This distributor no longer takes points. It has made a world of difference. All brakes were replaced along with master cylinder and hoses. All new ball joints and tie rod ends, alignment and new tires were installed. It also has a recently replaced battery. It also received a new muffler and tailpipes. The VW runs and drives very nice. She has all the pick up to get up to speed of traffic with no problem. I had some trouble with dirt in the carb and pulled the tank and cleaned it. It came out nice. I replaced fuel hoses and filters.

The paint was done about 4 years ago as well and hasn't been driven in any bad weather and surely not when there was a threat of salt on the roads. The interior is in pretty nice shape with great seats and new carpet. There are some slits in the headliner which is evident in the pictures. The paint job was not done to make a show car, rather a car that can be driven without worry. It's a nice job, not perfect, but it really turned out to be a good looking car. It's a good time to run this car around. There is no clutch pedal to have to fool with. If you have never driven an autostick, it gives you the advantages of a stick shift without the need to work the clutch pedal all the time. Very fun to drive and you'll get a lot of waves in the bright green color. My wife chose the color with the understanding that I insisted it be a nice bright color that is easily seen to avoid accidents. Hood latch cable should be replaced and the pass side seatbelt should as well. This car is being sold as is.

I hate to see it go, but am only selling this along with a 73 Camper VW bus to make room for a new addition. This car is definitely a favorite, but the garage is full and we have no choice. Feel free to email me with any questions or for more pictures.

Cash In Person. Buyer makes a $250 pay pal deposit upon winning auction and can pay remainder within 10 days. DO NOT assume the advertisement price is your shipping costs. Please research any shipping costs prior to bidding. For some reason, my shipping details are not coming up on the listing. The vehicle stays here until paid in full. If you plan to have this car shipped, please research this prior to bidding. I recently had someone win a bid from California, and then announced he couldn't afford to ship it. He saw the advertisement on the screen for some cheap shipping quote and didn't read it. Only assumed it was accurate and then I had to relist it.

I have set this up with NO RESERVE. A bit of a risk, but it needs to go.

Thanks for your consideration.

Skoda launching two new CNG-powered vehicles in Europe in June

Thu, May 29 2014

Skoda's second- and third-ever production compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles aren't exactly speed burners, but they are efficient. The Czech automaker, which is owned by Volkswagen, will introduce its Octavia G-TEC and Octavia Combi G-TEC models to most of Europe next month. Skoda's first CNG model was the Citigo, which debuted in 2012. The Octavia models will have a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine that will deliver about 109 horsepower. Quickness isn't these cars' virtue, as their 0-60 mile per hour acceleration time will be almost 11 seconds. But they can go as far as 826 miles on their tanks of gas and CNG, enough to go from Prague to Rome in one shot, in case anyone was curious. Or nuts. The move by Skoda makes sense, as the CNG market in Europe has long been far further along than it is on this side of the pond, where CNG has primarily been used to move delivery trucks, but it's now available in pickups form Chrysler, Ford and General Motors as well as passenger cars from Chevy and Honda. The Skoda Citigo has moved almost 2,000 units since its debut, with 1,300 vehicles sold last year alone. That car can go as far as 385 miles on CNG and gasoline combined, which is impressive but not quite as bladder busting as the Octavia models. Check out Skoda's press release below. SKODA continues its CNG offensive with the new SKODA Octavia G-TEC Launch of the new SKODA Octavia G-TEC and new Octavia Combi G-TEC in June First SKODA Octavia with natural gas drive as standard; 97 g CO2/km High-performance technology: bivalent turbo engine 1.4 TSI/81 kW The ultimate in fuel economy: up to 1,330 km with natural gas and petrol SKODA Citigo G-TEC has enjoyed market success since 2012; only 79 g CO2/km Natural gas is the environmentally-friendly, cost-effective alternative Mlada Boleslav, 19 May 2014 – Expanding its environmentally-friendly model range, SKODA is renewing its emphasis on compressed natural gas vehicles. The new SKODA Octavia G-TEC and the new SKODA Octavia Combi G-TEC will be given their market premiere in June. This will increase the brand's CNG range to three models. Since the end of 2012, the little natural gas-drive Citigo has been successfully touring the European markets. "With the new Octavia G-TEC and the Octavia Combi G-TEC, our model range is becoming even more environmentally-friendly," says Dr Frank Welsch, SKODA Board Member for Technical Development.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale

Sat, Jun 18 2016

"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.
