1966 CLASSIC VW BETTLE
PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED DESIRABLE METAL SUNROOF
This car is a beautifully restored
1966 CLASSIC VW BEETLE. It was a ground
up restoration that was completed in 2009. The car is absolutely beautiful. This
is a car that you will be proud to own!
All systems in this car are in
perfect working order. This car has not seen rain since its restoration in 2009
and it has been carefully garaged and maintained.
This was originally equipped with a
1300cc motor, but it was replaced with a remanufactured 1600cc motor from 1970
for some extra power. The carburetor is
a new Solex unit with a modern air filter for better performance.
As far as driving manners, this car
is a total class act. It starts easily, and the drive train responds
beautifully as you would expect from a car restored to this standard. The
suspension is very sure-footed on the road and when you hit a bump, it responds
properly without rattles or shudders. The car was recently converted to front
disc brakes and it has excellent braking under all
conditions. Way better than drums!
The body on this car is absolutely
beautiful! The body work is of excellent quality; this is the handiwork of a superior shop. The color
is an original VW color (Sea Blue). Most of the chrome in this car is new, but
some of the chrome hardware is original (like the window cranks and interior
door handles). The original chrome shows a little bit of pitting, but it gives
a little bit of patina and charm. This
restoration is from 2009, so naturally, there may be a little bit of surface
rust here and there in the undercarriage, the exhaust pipes, and on the pan.
Nothing to worry about.
Inside, the car has an incredible
amount of charm, the sunroof gives it a great airy feel. An original working
radio is included. You can’t help but smile in this car J
The car is being sold due to a
spouse complaining about too many toys.
A full-size spare tire is included
with the car, it just missed the photo shoot.

VW, Fiat, Mercedes could be CNG winners in Europe
Fri, Dec 12 2014Fiat ads in the US try to play up the exotic, sexy side of Italian culture. On the home front in Italy, however, passenger-vehicle sales are marked by something less edgy and quite a bit more practical: the growth of compressed-natural-gas (CNG) powered car sales. In fact, Italy is leading a group of European countries where CNG sales are on the upswing and may be benefiting automakers like VW, Fiat and Mercedes-Benz, according to Automotive News. VW started sales of its Golf TGI natural-gas vehicle this year – the company's fourth in Europe – while Mercedes-Benz added a natural-gas B-class model. Fiat accounts for about 50 percent of CNG vehicles sold on the continent. In all, Europe's CNG sales through September totaled about 67,000, up seven percent from a year earlier, Automotive News Europe says, citing research firm JATO Dynamics. And the number of CNG vehicles on Europe's roads could jump tenfold within the next decade. The draw is a combination of lower refueling prices and a CNG drivetrain that typically emits less CO2 than diesel vehicles. As for Italy, about five percent of new-vehicle sales are CNG. To put that into perspective, hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and diesels combined to account for about 4.2 percent of US vehicle sales last year.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%
Wed, Jan 13 2021FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
