1964 Vw Bug Lowered 75,000 Original Colorado Miles on 2040-cars
Franktown, Colorado, United States
I am listing my 1964 vw bug. I am trying to finish another of my vehicles, bug this one is so darn clean and original, other than the 2" dropped spindles, and dropped in back. This would be perfect for driving as is, painting and restoring....
There is original brochures, showing the car they picked out new. Sold here in colorado brand new at mt. States vw. I have never had one this clean as far as damage or rust, as it is only starting to bubble on very lower corners, and very very small amount on 1 rear bumper mount, and a small touch inside rear wheel well as shown. It has never been hit, and all panels line up nice, doors shut like they should, as does hood and rear deck. Twist handle locks down deck lid, and inside hood release works, and shuts tight with a finger push. Nose is super nice where the tire sits, and bumper attaches. No rust, no hits. Pan is super clean, title matches front tag, and vin, and still retains its original 1200 engine, with 6 volts. Car has been painted at some time but just as a protectant, no body work done, as there are small dings on fenders still. Seats have cheap seat covers, as the original brown and tan striped seats are underneath, but in need of recovering. Headliner is nice, but needs repair around window. The radio does not work. The headlights all work- high and low, turn signals, running lights, horn, dash lights all work, even interior Light comes on with either door. Just a nice un messed with 50 year old vw. Last of the small windows. The heater cranks on this, it is hot, and defroster works great!!! No smell with windows rolled up and heat on.. Clean heat. Still has some of its original tools in the nose. Gets lots of looks where it goes. The car runs great, fast idle works, and kicks down. Car is quite... Sounds like a vw. I was driving it yesterday, and ran perfect, down the highway at 55-65 no problem. I put about 80 miles on it with temp being about 85 out. It rides good to. The previous owner put the dropped spindles on the front, and lowered the rear also. I was going to put some brm wheels on it, and leave it alone. The doors still lock with its original key. Good color the panama beige. I have some paperwork from 1990 when it went in for some service and had 68,000 miles on it then. Just a nice un-hit almost 100% rust free early vw. This will be very hard to replace, or upgrade for the money... It is colorado titled and insured in my name. Car will not be released until funds 100% clear my bank! cashiers check! or personal- either. Please don't show up with either prepared to take it, unless verified Wells Fargo check... Or of corse cash... The reserve on this will be under $5,000!!!! I will include a low buy it now, but once reserve is met, it will go away... Please ask any questions if you have any before bidding. If you have less than 10+ FEEDBACKS! you mugs email before bidding! or I may cancel your bid. These are getting very hard to find, rust free and unhit, and a 64 or earlier. I have tried to describe his as accurate as possible, not some 1 line description as a lot of cars listed. On May-23-14 at 03:17:59 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention Also----- I have a new 6 volt battery recently installed, and car does have its spare, just took it out for nose photos.... |

VW internal investigation finds 'no evidence' against suspended engineers
Tue, Oct 6 2015Volkswagen is still working out the chain of events that led to emissions-evading software being installed in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide and deciding who was responsible for the treachery. So far, the German automotive giant's internal investigation hasn't publicly named many suspects, and three suspended executive-level engineers have been found not to be culpable in the wrongdoing, according to an anonymous insider speaking to Reuters. VW knows that the software began being installed in the EA 189 engine in 2008. The internal investigation has found that the emissions-evading tech was created because the powerplant was found to fail US standards. Plus, the diesel mill wasn't meeting cost targets, according to Reuters. The automaker responded by suspending over 10 employees, but three top engineers among them might not have been involved. Those put on leave include Heinz-Jakob Neusser from VW, Ulrich Hackenberg from Audi, and Wolfgang Hatz who led Porsche's research and group-wide engine development. The internal detective work hasn't turned up any evidence against these three men. In addition to VW's own inquires, government investigators in both the US and Germany are taking a serious look into the company's actions, too. So far, the automaker is setting aside about $7.3 billion to pay to fix the vehicles with the evasive software. Depending on what authorities find, the costs could grow quickly. Beyond the financial implications, the scandal has led to a serious shakeup in VW's corporate structure. Related Video:
Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise
Thu, Jan 10 2019Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network
Tue, Jul 6 2021Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. “It is the joint aim of EuropeÂ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement. "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.
