1967 Beetle, first year of 12 volt. 1600 dualport engine with Bugpack shifter and quad exhaust. Single carb. Original pan and heater channels. Originally a "left"coast/ New Mexico car, hence the original sheetmetal. Bumper guards, backup lights and roofrack . New weatherstripping and the runningboards are solid and all gaps line up just fine. Suspension was gone through and all parts were replaced with new factory components. Chrome hardware shines with a couple of small imperfections. Interior, headliner and dash are perfect and uncut or modified. The DS seat needed new foam so the previous owner redid the entire interior. All glass is clear and not foggy or cracked. Rockford Fosgate in dash CD player with remote. Painted two tone in the early 2000's and has been stored indoors in a heated building since. This Beetle runs /stops and steers great but the brakes should be bled due to long-term storage. Original jack and spare tire along with hubcaps and VIN plate. From what I can determine, original color was red but the bodywork and paint are first class with no short cuts or shoddy workmanship evident. Wheelwells and fenders are all metal, no filler, anywhere!! I "chased" this car for ten years from the prior eccentric owner. Look at the pictures and you be the judge. As always, I strongly advise that this car be looked at in person and I will gladly store until Spring/Summer 2013. This VW was on a cover of a local magazine as a first prize in a contest prior to my ownership. I have a copy of the magazine and article with pictures. I am sure I forgot some of the specifics so just inquire and I will answer all questions as best I can. Odometer shows 45,000 miles. I know that there are less than 10,000 miles since the larger engine was installed and the body was refreshed. Clear title and I am not looking for any trades at this time. Bidders with less than 10 positive feedbacks will be cancelled. A $500.00 deposit (non-refundable) is due 5 days after the auction ends. Balance to paid in cash prior to the new owner's possession. Car is also for sale locally and I can cancel this auction at anytime. I am downsizing my collection and this vehicle is being sold as is due to it being 46 years old. No surfboard is included with this Beetle. Spring is just around the corner. Check my feedback and bid/own with confidence.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules
Mon, Feb 13 2017Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.
