On occasion (~ once every two weeks) the engine will not engage when the ignition is turned. A simple roll start or crossing of the starter's contacts resolves the issue right away, but the vehicle could use a new starter.Turn signal does not de-activate. Could use a new switch or spring. Was never a concern of mine, I simply turned it off myself.Emergency flashers do not work (my mechanic said this is likely just a switch that needs replaced).Windshield washer needs new tank (doesn't seal to hold pressure - not pressurized by spare tire, has a pressure valve right on the tank)."

DETAILS:

1969 Volkswagen Beetle

61,000 Miles on Odometer (not original)

AM/FM CD Player with AUX hookup installed. AUX wiring is currently run into the glovebox and available throughout front/rear seat of car.

Bright Red Paint (not original) - Great older paint job in decent condition with a few chips here & there. Car was originally painted green (which can be seen deep in engine compartment and in areas under hood.

Body has very little rust anywhere. A few paint chips or scratches show a little rust, but only surface. Floor pans are surface rusted but have no holes (aside from one drilled through to resolve the infamous passenger side leak from driving while its raining). Some body rust is visible deep in the engine compartment (where the fenders meet the body & firewall), but has not progressed while I've owned the car and appears to have been sealed off when the vehicle was painted.

Tan Cloth Interior (not original) - Seats and headliner are in great condition, carpet is in decent shape but could use an update.

Engine starts right away and runs well. It could use timing and a tune-up, but has been my daily driver for the last 10 months (including regular 60 miles trips between Cleveland and Sandusky area). I have not had a single breakdown and the car has always started without a problem.

All four tires are new within the last 10 months.

New heater boxes were installed in January. The interior controls have not been hooked up. My mechanic open's the boxes in the late fall and closes them in the spring. Having driven several old VW's, I am amazed at how much heat this thing puts out. If its warmer than 15° outside you'll need to crack a window!

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

Front bumper was clipped in a parking lot (and is fairly rusted). It is bent on the driver's side and a original quality replacement should run around $220 (http://www.mamotorworkstv.com/vw/product/front-bumper-353116/)

Starter appears to have a non-contact point in it. On occasion (~ once every two weeks) the engine will not engage when the ignition is turned. A simple roll start or crossing of the starter's contacts resolves the issue right away, but the vehicle could use a new starter.

Turn signal does not de-activate. Could use a new switch or spring. Was never a concern of mine, I simply turned it off myself.

Emergency flashers do not work (my mechanic said this is likely just a switch that needs replaced).

Windshield washer needs new tank (doesn't seal to hold pressure - not pressurized by spare tire, has a pressure valve right on the tank).


REASON FOR SELLING:

I am only selling this car as we are making an effort to be a one car household, and this one is the least practical to meet all of our needs. The car has been dependable year-round for me and is a blast to drive.

I am open to offers, so please feel free to email with any additional questions you may have.

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well." 

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.
