Convertible California Beauty No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Merced, California, United States
Up for auction is this beautiful 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. As I'm sure you know, 1979 was the very last year that Volkswagen produced the Beetle Convertible, and this car is one of the very last cars to ever be built as it has a build date of January 1980! That was the very last month of production, ending forever the Beetle Convertible. To me that would make it the most collectable Beetle ever. If you have ever owned or driven a Beetle you know what fun they are to drive! Just running errands is a blast! And a top-down ride this time of the year is pure pleasure. This car has always been a California car, garaged all of its life, the original interior is still in good condition. The top is about five years old; it is in good condition with a couple of small spots that are a little worn through one layer; you can see these in the picture. It goes up and down nicely and seals up great. The original top boot is also included. The body is very straight and the paint still very shiny! I do believe the car has been painted once since it was new. No accidents, the front and rear aprons are as new. All body pieces, the fenders, doors, hood and engine lid are the factory German pieces that the car came with when new. Other than the chrome wheels there are no aftermarket pieces on this car, including the bumpers. Not a 100-point show car, but a very nice car that you will be proud to own. Drive it on the weekend to your favorite car show or really enjoy life and drive it every day! I was told the mileage of 78k is original but I have no documents to prove it, however I believe it to be true since the car is solid and tight like a 78k mile car. A lot of people restore these cars and some do a good job. But here is a car that has never needed restoring! It has always been kept in good condition. Motor runs quiet and strong and was rebuilt about 5000 miles ago. Tires are about 80%. NO RESERVE AUCTION!! means someone will get this great little car. Available for inspection any time during the auction by appointment. Please remember you are bidding to buy, not just come look. All inspections must be completed before the end of the auction. Full payment is due in three days and I don't take PayPal for payment on cars. E-Mail or call me at 831-383-2499 with questions. Clear California title. I'll ship anywhere in the world at buyer's expense. I can help with shipping, I work with a very reliable company and can have it shipped to your door in the U.S. I also ship to Europe out of Oakland Ca. GOOD LUCK and HAPPY BIDDING!!!!

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1
Mon, Feb 24 2014How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid
Fri, Nov 7 2014The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche.

The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."
