OK! Here we have a 1962 vw bug I bought that I was going to restore but realized I do not have the time to do so I am going to offer it to someone else that is up to the challenge. To start off this is in deed a project but a very easy one. Ya I know that's what they all say??LOL.. Well this one is true. I bought this bug from a guy that did most of the hard work already. All brakes including wheel cylinders emergency cables steel lines and flex lines have been done. New front and rear apron were replaced and welded in. The bug is all original so yes it is a 6 volt system and is all numbers matching engine,body,pan, original radio that works and un cut dash,.pans are original and in good solid condition, Heater channels are excellent and some of the metal up where your feet go have been cut out and replacement panels are welded in. Engine runs great when I bought it 3 months ago. The interior is original including door panels and are in very nice clean condition they do not need to be replaced. I have all the windows and they are in great condition no cracks or chips. I am also including $1500 in brand new parts. I have every part needed and then some to complete this project.. The bug was appraised for $5000 back in 2012 and is included with the sale along with a lot of documention. I will also include a brand new tow bar so you can tow it home. The wheels were professionally powder coated and the tires are very good. There is so much to list that I cannot think of everything right now but if you have any questions please fell free to email or call me at (905)325-6716. The first of the picture shows the state it is in now. The other pictures at the bottom show what it looked like before the restoration was started and appraised at $5000.00. I did not do the work on it nor did I take it apart but it had to be done so it could get repainted. I have everything bagged and in boxes with some spares so you will be getting a lot of stuff. The front and rear bumpers are original and in very nice condition including chrome. again I know I am missing a lot here but if you have any questions please feel free to email or call or text this number (905)325-6716 thanks and good luck..A $500 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF END OF AUCTION BY PAY PAL!!

Translogic 168: CES 2015 Roundup
Wed, Jan 14 2015Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.

Automakers face reality of EVs' cost — to jobs, and their bottom line
Tue, Sep 12 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany — European car bosses gathering for the Frankfurt auto show are beginning to address the realities of mass vehicle electrification, and its consequences for jobs and profit, their minds focused by government pledges to outlaw the combustion engine. As the latest such announcement by China added momentum to a push for zero-emissions motoring, Daimler, Volkswagen and PSA Group gave details about their electric programs that could give policymakers some pause. Planned electric Mercedes models will initially be just half as profitable as conventional alternatives, Daimler warned — forcing the group to find savings by outsourcing more component manufacturing, which may in turn threaten German jobs. "In-house production is almost irrelevant to the consumer," Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche told reporters on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show, in the midst of a German election campaign in which automotive jobs have loomed large. The company set a target of saving 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) by 2025 to help fund the cost of its electric cars. "Daimler is the first company to state explicitly how much electric vehicles are going to hurt margins," said Bernstein analyst Max Warburton. "It was brave to go first — but of course it won't be the last." Volkswagen, for its part, said it was seeking new global supplier contracts to source 50 billion euros ($60 billion) of electric car content including batteries, which are not yet manufactured competitively in Europe. "A company like Volkswagen must lead, not follow," Chief Executive Matthias Mueller told reporters. VW diesel emissions-cheating exposed by U.S. regulators in 2015 triggered global public outrage, dozens more investigations into test-rigging by the wider industry and a push by some lawmakers to ban diesel and eventually all engines. TIGHTENING NOOSE Tesla shares jumped nearly 6 percent on Monday after a Chinese minister said it was a question of when, not if, Beijing bans fossil-fuel cars, tightening the noose around the combustion engine. France and Britain have promised its outright abolition by 2040. But PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, said it was concerned about the risks if consumers were left behind in the rush, and a new generation of battery cars does not sell.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
