This is a great car for someone who wants to build that special show car as this car is a solid base or a fun daily driver. You are bidding on a nice 1978 Convertible Beetle with original working stock fuel injection and 1.6l engine. New battery and tires. Paint is bright and original color, but car has been repainted, has a few small scratches. New battery and tires and shocks(rear). Top both inside and outside perfect. All glass in great shape. The only problems are as follows; The driver seat vinyl is bad, took off seat covers to show that in photos. Brakes are a little squishy, but work (except the passenger rear wheel), but no E-Brake functionality. Also the Odometer is non-functional, (speedo and other indicators work) so the title reads 00,000 miles. Note, I have the WA state plate, and car registered, just left the vanity plate on the car because its fun and this car really only sites in my garage anyway. And finally, the radio in the dash is loose. Works just fine, just needs to be bolted down properly I bought the car as a fun project car and never really had the time to turn it into a show car. Car is however a lot of fun to drive The rear passenger side drum brake doesn't work, my plan was to convert all four brakes to disc via the JC Whitney kit but never got around to it. Car is great fun to drive, and turns heads. The first thing people ask is if this is the original color, yes it is. In 1978, the Volkswagen Beetle came is some pretty vibrant colors, this Chrome Yellow is one of them. I will bring the car to you if the range from zip code 98019 is less than 50 miles, otherwise you will need to make arrangements to come get the car. |

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power
Thu, Feb 27 2014No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
VW ID.4, the new Buick Envision and crossing Hyundai's N Line | Autoblog Podcast #668

Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan.
